They say that the vehicle had an Ontario licence plate so hopefully it is unrelated to those missing in Calgary.
Today's press conference seemed less optimistic than yesterday's somehow. Yesterday he stated that they hoped to bring the victims home to their family alive, today he simply said they hope to bring them home. It's a small thing, but his aspect seemed a bit different today.
Have they ever commented on whether the couple's personal belongings such as purse, wallets, cell phones, were left behind in the home?
It's not. Det. Smyth is in Ontario and has nothing to do with Alberta cases. If the burned out vehicle is related to this missing family, they will work together. I doubt that anyone would drive three days to set a vehicle on fire.
I disagree otto ... sure it's an Ontario crime scene but for Jim Smyth to be brought in so suddenly is, IMO, an indication there is a real concern wrt the psychology of who may have committed that crime. Three peeps missing from AB and a vehicle involved, and 3 bodies found in a burned out vehicle in Ontario. Why do you think they aren't connected?
I am very upset that Smyth is in charge of the investigation. For those who don't know, Det.-Ins.Jim Smyth is the behavioural science specialist that cracked Russel Williams in his interrogation and coerced a confession from him on the murders of Jessica Lloyd, Marie-France Comeau and 88 other sexual offenses, and is also the Detective who located the remains of school girl Victoria Stafford.
Last time we heard about him in a case, he was part of a task force for Sonia Varaschin's unsolved murder. I am extremely dismayed right now.
Does anyone know if Smyth was working this case? He is an expert in many things, and given the usage of the ViCLAS, the software that links up violent crimes in different geographical areas across Canada, he doesn't just go to "any" case.
Mostly because it is 2700 km away - as the crow flies.
Lots of peeps flee Ontario and are found in BC and vice versa ... same distance either way
Which case is he in charge of? This one or the bodies in the burned car?

So approximately 2 day trip according to this website calculator FWIW http://www.distancesfrom.com/ca/dis...-via-Thunder-Bay/DistanceHistory/1167206.aspx
Why would anyone drive 3500 km to dispose of three bodies?
