Officials in New Brunswick looking for two people reported missing in the province found one of them Thursday, a five-year-old boy in Beaver Dam.

The boy, Brandon Dunfield, was found just before 11 a.m., about 15 hours after he had last been seen near his home near Beaver Dam, south of Fredericton.

The boy was found in a wooded area about 500 metres from his home, clutching his teddy bear. Police said he did not show signs of injury.

Hundreds of volunteers and a helicopter were involved in the search.

Meanwhile, the search for a missing Grand Falls woman was expanded Thursday to include a couple of new locations.

But officials said there was still no sign of Irene Godreau, 78, who disappeared Saturday after apparently walking away from the local special-care home she lived in.

Police said ground search-and-rescue members have been combing the area near the home, which includes a steep gully
