3 family members found dead after search west of Edmonton

The bodies of three members of the Pelsma family were recovered during a search near the Alexis Bridge in Lac Ste. Anne County, west of Edmonton, on Tuesday.

The family of three — 39-year-old Kelly Pelsma, 37-year-old Laura Pelsma and eight-year-old Dylan Pelsma — had not been seen since Dec. 23. They were reported missing when they didn’t arrive at a family function they were expected to attend.

In a news release issued late Monday, police said investigators believed the Pelsma family had gone off-roading in a utility terrain vehicle, or “side-by-side,” in Lac Ste. Anne County, which is located about a one-hour drive west of Edmonton.

Emergency service personnel, Edmonton Police Air1 Helicopter and ground search and rescue volunteers converged on the family’s last known location.
