In a troubling turn of events, Quebec provincial police have arrested a man in his 30s in connection with the disappearance of Kelsey Watt, a 29-year-old resident of Hemmingford. Watt was reported missing last weekend, sparking concerns across the small community near the U.S.-Canada border. An extensive search was conducted over several days, as family, friends, and local authorities rallied together hoping for her safe return.
