The RCMP had previously said the siblings were believed to have “wandered away.” They noted that there was no evidence of abduction so it didn’t qualify for an Amber Alert.
After a lengthily and wide search where upwards of 160 people had been scouring the wooded area on land with search dogs, helicopters and drones, the RCMP said at a briefing on Wednesday it has decided to scale back the search saying the likelihood the children area alive is “very low.”
“Based on the experts and the review of the facts, the inclement weather, the time frames and their age, the likelihood that they’re alive right now is very low,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Rob McCamon.
However, since Wednesday, the RCMP have not said anything further about the case and no new details have surfaced leaving many wondering what is next for the search.
