RCMP say they've arrested a 22-year-old man from Blairmore in connection with the murder of the father of missing two-year-old Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette.

They also say they have found a white van but are not sure that it's connected to the same incident.

Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette was taken from her home early yesterday morning and remains missing.

Police says they will renew the Amber Alert and are hopeful they will still be able to find her safe and return her to her family.
