Quebec provincial police have made an arrest in the case of a missing woman from southern Quebec. The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) announced Thursday afternoon that a man in his 30s is in custody following the disappearance of Kelsey Watt, 29. Watt was last seen Saturday around 12:30 p.m. on Covey Hill Road in Hemmingford, a small town near the U.S. border, roughly 60 kilometres south of Montreal. The individual is currently being interviewed by investigators to clarify his possible involvement in the case, the SQ said in a news release. No charges have been laid. Earlier on Thursday, provincial police said they had located a woman's body near a home in Hemmingford, but the remains have not yet been identified. The SQ told Noovo Info that an autopsy will need to be performed to determine the exact cause of death. Police would not confirm whether or not the body has any traces of violence. For several days, police and concerned loved ones in the area have been searching for Watt without any success. The search efforts involved provincial police patrol officers, specialized police units, local firefighters and the RCMP. Friends and family of Watt had been posting on social media to share updates in the case. The SQ would not provide details about the man’s identity and say they are attempting to clarify the man’s involvement in the case. Police also said it was too early to tell if the man would face charges. September 26, 2024 marks a sad day for the small community of Hemmingford, which has been desperately searching for one of their own since September 21. This Thursday morning, the body of a woman was found not far from Kelsey Watt’s residence, diminishing the hope of finding the young mother safe and sound. At this time, the information obtained does not make it possible to establish the circumstances surrounding the death of the person whose body was found. Recall that last Saturday, Kelsey Watt had left her residence around 1:30 p.m. to go for a walk in the direction of Jackson Hill. The next day, the Sûreté du Québec command post was deployed on site to begin the search for her. Nearly 300 volunteers participated in the search on the first day. Currently, the Sûreté du Québec is not confirming that the body found is that of Kelsey Watt.
