VIDEO: The moment 6-year-old Oaklynn Schweder was found after a 3-day search

After three stressful, frightening days of searching, it was all smiles, cheers and applause in the northern BC community of Southside on Sunday night.

Shortly after 6 pm, six-year-old Oaklynn Schweder was found in a forested area between her home and the local Indian Band office.

S/Sgt. Joshua Smith with the Burns Lake RCMP called it “the outcome that we all hoped for.”

The multi-day search for Schweder drew attention from all over the province and beyond, and its positive conclusion Sunday evening was caught on video.

Melissa Tom Dyck posted the footage to a Facebook group dedicated to the search efforts and it has already been shared over 10,000 times.

It shows the young girl’s mother, Gail Skin, and others rushing into the forested area as Schweder is found.

Moments later, an emotional Skin emerges from the woods with her daughter in her arms, father James close behind.

As the three of them emerge from the brush, they’re met with a round of cheers, applause and hugs from dozens of searchers in the area.

Schweder was eventually handed over to paramedics to be checked and Skin provided a pair of updates on Facebook live.

In another post, Skin shared photos of her daughter and said her “heart is so happy it could burst.”

“I’m sitting looking at my baby girl watching her sleep and I am just so grateful she’s here beside me,” Skin wrote. “Thank you again to everyone who helped in any way for helping (to bring) my girl back home.”

She also shared in a separate Facebook post that Schweder “will be having the biggest birthday party” after the ordeal she just went through.

Schweder will turn seven on Monday, Sept. 30, which is also Truth and Reconciliation Day.
