From another site.
Notes from press conference:
-LE is trying to practice a delicate balance to provide info to public without jeopardizing the investigation itself or any future potential court case
-confirms the property is still being searched "until no stone has been unturned"
-confirms again that the ford truck was removed from the property on the weekend
-LE still trying to confirm any relevance/connection of the truck to amber alert
-amber alert is still in affect and LE is seeking public assistance
-can not speak about the POI as he is not charged and has been released from custody related to this investigation.
-amber alert will stay open as long as tips continue to come in
-"absolutely" still hopeful family is alive and LE has no indication to suggest anything other than them being alive.
-says that yes the signs of violence is a concern about the family's wellbeing but not conclusive enough to say they aren't alive
another officer (Garrett Woolsey) steps in
-When an area being searched changes quickly like it did yesterday, it could be based on changing priorities and not necessarily new information. they just follow the instructions from the investigative team on where to go.
-says there's no specified search area size near Airdrie and that will change as priorities change as well
-keeps reiterating that they are looking for evidence related to missing persons, not bodies.
original officer comes back
-LE is being thorough by assessing any unidentified item found
-searched the slough simply because it was in the area
-some found evidence has been sent to the lab with results already determined and they are determining relevance of these items to the case
-crime lab is putting a priority on this case
-says the investigation is moving forward
-says there are other investigative leads to follow up on and DG is not the only person of interest LE is looking at, but then kind of mumbles later "no there isn't another person of interest".... (direct contradiction???? anyone else notice this)
-says there is a "loose family connection" and can not confirm if AL and DG were business partners
-won't comment on who the blood belonged to at the Liknes' home
-says 88 out of about 200 people from the estate sale have come forward and still would like others to come forward
-says the focus on the Airdrie property is just follow up to finding the truck there and LE wants to be thorough and since it's such a large area it will take time.
-says it's still not a 100% confirmed that the truck found at the property is the vehicle seen on CCTV and are still asking the public for tips related to this vehicle
-says DG was "somewhat cooperative"
second officer (Garrett Woolsey) steps in again
-confirms there have been sighting reports in Brooks and they are trying to follow up any sighting from all locations.
-says its important to give LE breaks and proper food and hydration while searching Airdrie property in the heat
first speaker steps in again:
-a number have items have been seized from all search areas and have been sent to the crime lab. Says items are frequently coming and going from the property to the crime lab but won't comment on any findings so far.
-says tips and sightings have been coming from all across Canada but they have not been able to confirm a positive sighting so far.
