There is now police tape at that second field, looks like they're formulating a plan or something.

[Acey]

Operations escalating at this second field as HAWCS is now overhead, and police dogs have started to arrive.

[Acey]

Police and their dogs now focussed on this small lake, and more police are arriving.



Based on Jen Lee's description I believe this to be the focus area now:

This is so awful.

[EldrickOnIce]

It's becoming increasingly obvious there is no happy ending coming....

[Acey]

Via @news_ian and JenLeeCBC: this thing just arrived from Calgary to go out onto the water.




Reporters must think something will come of this.

[Acey]

Just to give some more perspective of the location in Google Earth: looking south here, the body of water is at the bottom, and I'm pretty sure the reporters are standing at the T-intersection at the end of my red arrow.

Carolyn Dunn says Sully the dog has returned from his search, unknown if he found anything.

@markusoff: According to property records, the property police have been searching belongs to Archie and Doreen Garland. #amberalert 1/2

@markusoff: 2/2 Herald's @jasonvanrassel has confirmed there is a family link between Alvin Liknes and the Airdrie landowner Garlands. #amberalert

[Knut]

This is good or bad

@660News: The cop boat has now left the body of water at the field in Airdrie. It did not enter. #AmberAlert

Oh wow, so past business coming back to harm him and his family?

[Acey]

Well that thickens the plot, doesn't it. Dunn and Global's Sarah Offin say most of the police have left the field now, and the CPS boat is packed up and ready to go. Not sure what happens next.

[Acey]

@JasonvanRassel of the Herald: "Douglas Garland is the person of interest, has a "link" to the 3 missing. Airdrie property searched by police belongs to Douglas Garland's parents. Was site of illegal drug lab raided in 1992."

Wow.

Oh boy, lot's of interesting info on this guy. Obviously speculating isn't entirely fair, but you read some of that stuff about him, and combine that with a couple of traits that are often present in killers, and you start thinking.....

Police charged Douglas Garland in connection with the operation, but he disappeared soon after and evaded authorities for seven years.

Douglas Garland was living in B.C.’s Lower Mainland and working as a chemical mixer at the B.C. Institute of Technology when police found him. He managed to evade detection by stealing the identity of Matthew Kemper Hartley, a 14-year-old Cardston boy killed in a car crash in 1980.

At Douglas Garland’s trial, court heard he was a genius who studied science at the University of Alberta

A written decision by Justice Campbell J. Miller in 2005 said Douglas Garland was a “troubled man,” who had attention deficit disorder and whose exit from university was precipitated by a mental breakdown.

I don't know, maybe it isn't entirely true, but when I hear "genius" and "troubled" I feel like those are two traits you often hear are present in killers/serial killers.

[Acey]

...and they let him go.

CPS is probably not thrilled with the fact that they had to let him go.

Not to scare anyone, but the longer they are missing the more likely they are dead it's a fact.

Yeah, we know.
