This is what happened during the search for Burton Winters
CBC
A probe into search and rescue resources focused last week on the case of Burton Winters, a Makkovik teenager who froze to death on sea ice nine years ago.
Documents provided to the commission paint a detailed picture of what happened to Winters and where the system failed him. Winters, 14, died in 2012 after his snowmobile became stuck, forcing Winters to abandon it and walk 19 kilometres in search of shelter. The inquiry into ground search and rescue in Newfoundland and Labrador held a week-long hearing into his death to see what went wrong and make recommendations on how to improve the process for future searches. The inquiry has left Makkovik, and is now in Nain before continuing hearings on the island. However, testimony from the province, Department of National Defence and local searchers has offered a minute-by-minute account of the days under scrutiny. Morning - Winters' stepmother and father take away his computer privileges after he was on the laptop until 4 a.m. that morning. Family says he did not appear to be upset about it and showed little emotion. Burton then attends a junior rangers event at Killman Pond. 1:30 p.m. - Burton drops off his cousin at his grandmothers' home. His cousin didn't see which direction he had taken on the yellow Tundra 300 snowmobile in black ski pants and a checkered jacket.
