Mounties arrested a woman and have warrants to arrest her son on first-degree murder charges.

Meanwhile, they are looking for a woman who went missing on the day they found the victim’s body and believe she may be with the suspect.

The RCMP major crimes unit arrested Margaret Simon, 53, in Plamondon on March 15 and charged her with accessory to murder. She is scheduled to appear in Lac La Biche provincial court on Monday.

Since Nov. 7, 2017, Lloyd Wesley Boudreau, 22, of Lac La Biche has been wanted on a warrant for first-degree murder in connection with the death of Michael Matthew Mountain, 26, of Lac La Biche on Oct. 28, 2017. He is known to police.

“We believe several people may be assisting Lloyd in evading police,” said Cpl. Ron Bumbry.

RCMP officers were called after reports of multiple shots fired. They learned Mountain had been shot after stepping outside the front door of his home.

Mountain had moved to a new home with his wife and three young children a few weeks before he was killed, Bumbry said.

Mandi Leigh Boucher, 25, of the Buffalo Lake Métis Settlement, was reported missing to the Boyle RCMP detachment on the same day Mountain’s body was found in Lac La Biche.

Officers have followed up on tips that the two may have been seen in Lac La Biche, St. Paul, Boyle, Camrose and Edmonton.

Boudreau, who is believed to be armed and dangerous, is a 22-yearold Métis man who is approximat­ely 188 pounds, five-foot-six with black hair and brown eyes, with tattoos on his neck and right side of his face.

Boucher is a 25-year-old Métis woman who is five-foot-one, 150 pounds with brown hair and green eyes.

Anyone with informatio­n on either of their whereabout­s is asked to call Lac La Biche RCMP at 780-623-4380 or their local detachment. To submit a tip anonymousl­y, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or go online to www.tipsubmit.com.
