A man from a First Nations Reserve in Saskatchewan has been charged with stealing a van that police are hoping to link to Tamra Keepness, the five-year-old Native girl who has been missing for more than a month.

The van was stolen from Tamra's neighborhood in Regina the night she was last seen at her home. It was later found burned out on the Muscowpetung Reserve northwest of Regina.

Walter William Obey, who lives on the reserve, has been charged with stealing the van. Police are looking into the possibility that the theft is related to Tamra's disappearance.
