Re: Surveillance video from Le Bordelais restaurant of the friend's apartment complex (low quality, grainy footage) that has never been released to the public.
Shows a car turning into driveway of the building and shadowy figures. The car is not seen leaving the parking lot.
The private detective hired by the family said he discovered this video before police. (Police refused to comment if this is true). The PI and Ariel's aunt and uncle viewed the grainy video from the basement of the restaurant. "In the footage, a car can be seen turning into the parking lot of the apartment complex. A few shadowy figures can be seen, one believed to be Ariel. The family suspects the other figures could be his abductors. The car then never leaves the parking lot, which is why some family members have theorized that Ariel may still be at the complex, held against his will."
There is no mention that this same video also showed Ariel entering Bateliers Park.
Somehow, a poster has taken this conversation by the uncle, and attributed it to Ariel's father watching this video and totally ignoring the part where Ariel is seen entering the park. Where is the video showing that? We don't know if the uncle saw him entering the park. We don't know if Ariel's father has seen a video of Ariel entering the park. We don't know if they saw it and questioned if it is Ariel due to the poor quality. We only know that LE say they have a video from the restaurant that shows Ariel entering the park.
A police spokesman has also said they have video of Ariel near the water in the park. What camera shot that? Who has seen that footage?
"Lafreniere (police spokesman) told CTV Montreal a witness told police she saw Ariel near the river that morning and also cited camera footage putting him near the water in Bateliers Park. While the footage showed Ariel entering the park, there was no sign of him leaving."
Sorry, and In all due respect, I am getting frustrated with repeated posts of putting words in the father's mouth, taking his words out of context, omitting phrases, omitting his praise for the police, not supplying links where he supposedly bad-mouthed police, negatively interpreting as fact why he wants to speak to the witness. Honestly, I can see why some people think they have missed something.
