The search for a six-year-old boy missing for 11 days in mountainous terrain in southern Alberta has been called off.

RCMP Cpl. Gina Slaney says the search for Darius Macdougall in the Crowsnest Pass area has not turned up any trace of the boy.

She says if the child is still in the area, he’s believed to be dead.

Searchers, helicopters, dogs, drones and underwater teams have scoured 22 square kilometres of the woods since the boy disappeared around noon on Sept. 21.
