It’s been nearly four weeks since 15-year-old Jordan Wabasse went missing.

The Webequie First Nation teen, in Thunder?Bay for school and to play hockey, was last seen getting off a bus in the Mary Street area.

Since then, the only clues as to what might have happened to the youngster are a Toronto Maple Leafs hat found in the Kaministiquia River and some footprints leading to the shoreline.

Sadly, the odds are not in Jordan’s favour.

With temperatures plummeting last week, even police are suggesting this situation will likely end in tragedy.

Luckily for Jordan there are still plenty of people, including police, who are holding out hope.

The ground search is expected to continue, and until all leads have been exhausted, it should.

Until it happens to you, no one truly understands what Bernice Jacobs, his mother, and the rest of his family and Webequie community is going through.

Jordan is a son, a brother, a family member and a trusted friend. We, as a society, owe it to him to leave no stone unturned searching for him.

It’s what we’d expect if it were someone we loved.

It’s the definition of humanity.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bernice Jacob and her family. Never have they needed them more.
