RO Nathan, God is taking care of your soul. Mom and Dad need you to be brave right now.
To whoever has Nathan: Please find it in your heart to drop off our little angel, Nathan, to which he can be rescued and reunited with his brothers and with his family.
To the public: Our son and family could be anywhere right now. If you have any information, anything at all, please contact the police.
MC Terrible. Just is horrible, horrible stuff. Two adults and their five year old grandson are still missing in Calgary. It really is a terrible story with numerous twists and turns actually. Marc Patrone is a Sun News contributor, and he joins us from Calgary, and, give us the skeleton of this story if you would please.
MP Well, the very latest, Michael, is that Douglas Garland, who is considered "not a suspect" at this point but very much a "person of interest", has been remanded in custody until Wednesday. But this is very much on a matter unrelated to the disappearance of these three people. But he was in court today, and it's just part of a, of a real mystery. Back to June 29th when these three people, just uh-- grandparents and 5 year old Nathan. Some time between the evening of June 29th and the morning after, about 10 o'clock, the three went missing. And there was an Amber Alert that went out of course. There's been an international level of interest in this case. And police are still involved in trying to hunt down where these people are and find out what happened.
MC Right. Now, correct me please if I'm wrong, but what we're hearing here in Toronto is that this person you describe as being a "person of interest" and not a suspect directly was involved in drugs, the manufacture of drugs. Is this true?
MP This person is being touted as a kind of criminal mastermind in certain respects. One of these people who tends to straddle the line between being extremely intelligent---
MC Yeah.
MP --being extremely unstable at the same time, and we've seen that throughout his history as we consider the number of mental breakdowns. But yes, indeed, he was involved in drugs at the very location in which we saw in Airdrie, and continue to see, the search for possible clues.
MC Right.
MP He went on the run from police from a period after a drug raid in 1992, he disappeared.
MC OK
MP He took on the identity of a 14 year old who had been deceased for a number of years and lived, pretty much on the lam, in British Columbia. He was finally arrested in 1999.
MC Let me just interrupt you there if I may. Did--the police wouldn't have been interested in him without any context. Is it true that the family know him?
MP Yeah. There is, in fact, some, a relation involving Garland. His sister is involved in a common-law relationship with a member of the Liknes family. That's the connection, Michael.
MC Right. You know, it's always very dangerous to speculate. These people can't defend themselves, they can't explain what is going on, they're just going through a living hell. But, of course, if one begins to imagine and wonder is there's some sort of connection. Two people and the grandchild just disappearing like this. This--this is not an everyday crime or occurrence. And is it also true that at the scene of the crime, there's a scene, there's an example of violence and there's blood to be found?
MP Yeah. There was blood on the scene. There were also reports, unsubstantiated, that there was a blood trail from the house leading onto the street. The connection, the other connection of course, was the green Ford F150 which had been spotted in the area of the Liknes home which was linked to the Airdrie property. And that's really where the, where the police made the connection and eventually brought in a huge contingent of officers, a police dog, a motor boat, and the rest of it. And they continue to remain on the scene looking for clues.
MC All right. Well, I--by golly. Let's just hope and pray it all works out for these poor people. It is very complex and involved and it's impossible not to wonder what is going on. Appreciate your time. Thank you very much indeed.
MP You're welcome Michael.
I was the first to link that DG's parents are alive (page 15, post #371), as someone posted they were worried about them. I found a tweet from BMacF and posted it. Then someone (IIRC kittymeow) later posted DG's parents were ok and mod ColdPizza asked them for a link. I was just linking for mod. I think it's time to walk the dog and get some fresh air. 
You're doing a great job SD!
