The stats were quite incredible until I saw the quote said
solved homicides. And are stats from 2003 even relevant?
I was just wondering if the mother being an indigenous female was a factor in the province-wide amber alert - i.e. if it was a white female would it have been chalked off as a custody dispute and not the subject of an amber alert. I have no idea, just posting in case anyone knows.
