Police officers have been searching the land along Highway 762, south of Township Road 221A, for the past few days looking for possible human remains.
Calgary police say they've used police dogs and ground-penetrating radar to help them search a piece of rural property in Bragg Creek, Alta., as part of a historic missing persons case.
Police officers have been searching the land along Highway 762, south of Township Road 221A, for the past few days looking for possible human remains.
Though investigators haven't said which case the search is in connection with, they say it’s several decades old.
Speaking at a Wednesday news conference, Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson of the Calgary Police Service's major crimes section said no discoveries have been made so far.
"This is a situation where we have information that's come to us that we believe is reliable, and we know there are families out there that are seeking answers, and we have a duty to help bring closure to the families," he said.
"In this case, we're looking at all the avenues we have. We believe the information is credible, so we're going to do what we can."
Police said on Tuesday the current property owners are co-operating with the investigation and have "no connection" to the case.
