The news came just one day shy of the two-year anniversary of Thibault’s disappearance.
Thibault was 17 years old when he was last seen on Gibson Street in Fredericton on July 31, 2017.
Rogers-Marsh said the RCMP’s Major Crime Unit will be searching “areas of interest” for Thibault’s remains in the coming weeks, but declined to elaborate.
