It sounds like Jasmine was a victim of domestic violence and psychological or physical abuse from both the father of her child, and her next and most recent boyfriend Robert Leeming. Calgary Police Services and the City of Calgary seem to be asleep at the wheel, especially given that Jasmine reached out for help in relation to the abusive father of her child. and prior to moving in with a man who was known to police as an abusive and dangerous husband.
Who and what is in place to help women in Jasmine's situation? Women's shelters are full, so women like Jasmine go where with the baby? It seems like she had no where to go. Maybe she was too proud to ask for help, but if there was an open door surely she would have walked through it.
Chances are that through domestic violence she was isolated from family and friends after 7 months with Robert Leeming, and 2 years with her daughter's father - the man who attacked her in her home. This violence was reported to police, but she was coerced into dropping the no contact order and the courts dropped the complaint and the ball.
Did she have any friends who were still listening? It strikes me that she needed a helping hand, that she was floundering, and that this young mother with a 22 month old was an unnecessary statistic.

I agree that seeing a Mercedes SUV on the unpaved backroads or in and around Bragg Creek is VERY common. I drive the unpaved backroads with my van. Some of the really back road ones are not accessible by vehicle as the roads are closed in some areas. If the bodies are out there I'm guessing wild life will get to them before anyone and will be somewhat scattered. If they were burned and burried or covered, that could make it harder.
I do keep coming back to the mulch. I do wonder how he explained having a load of mulch and what he was using it for. I do think if he used mulch that is what will help locate them or the area that they were placed.

It would be helpful if he used colored mulch, or cedar mulch. Cedar doesn't grow around there, but being a relative newcomer, he might not have known that. New, moist cedar also has that distinctive smell. With all the snow and then warmth later this week, someone searching nearby might pick up the distinctive scent. Here's hoping he made this mistake. A simple mistake could be his undoing.

The blue tarp here is what concerns me:
Family 'devastated' as search continues for mom, daughter presumed dead
Is it to protect the scene from contamination, or protect the evidence from media cameras? Police made no attempt to conceal the gathering and bagging of bark mulch. Was there more to it than that?

When the suspect was detained for questioning, police must have asked him what he did with the mulch. He probably said that he put it in the front yard, so police are collecting mulch from the front yard to determine whether it matches what he bought. The tarp might just be there to collect and bag the evidence.

Oh wow, 4am, I wonder what led police to that location?

Update #5 – Disappearance of Jasmine LOVETT and Aliyah SANDERSON
At approximately 4 a.m., today, Monday, May 6, 2019, we located the bodies of a woman and child, believed to be that of Jasmine LOVETT and Aliyah SANDERSON, in Kananaskis.
The investigation led officers to a heavily wooded area near Grizzly Creek located off Highway 40, where the bodies were discovered. Autopsies are expected to begin today. Formal identification of the deceased will be done by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The cause of death of both victims is not expected to be released.
A suspect has been taken into custody and charges are pending. The suspect cannot be named by police until charges are officially laid by the Justice of the Peace. This is expected to occur later today, or tomorrow. However, police can confirm the suspect is the same man who was taken into custody two weeks ago.
To protect the integrity of this investigation and future court proceedings, we are unable to release details about what lead to the discovery of the bodies.
We would like to thank the many partner agencies, members of the public and the media for their assistance in the investigation and the search. We are grateful for the support of Calgarians.
An update will be provided to the media and public once charges have been laid by the Justice of the Peace and the victims have been formally identified by the OCME.

Just a wild guess, but I suspect it was more detailed information about vehicle GPS and digital device tracking.

Yes, for sure. Perhaps also Thermal Imaging was used, especially since they found the mom and child in darkness. Bless them all. This must have been a terrible thing.

Yes, East Kananaskis instead, but another possible area that was mentioned. I’m just amazed this announcement came so quickly, snow covered ground prior to sunrise, great job by CPS although this is no doubt devastating news to the family.

I'm guessing somebody came forward and said they saw him out there which led the police to check the area. It's possible they were searching that area the whole time, but letting RL believe that they were still focused on Bragg Creek to prevent him from returning to the site to re-bury or move them. Well done CPS!!
Just over 1 hour to get from Bragg Creek to Grizzly Creek Day Use area where the bodies were found. Keep eyes open for 4pm press release, but chances are they won't send out too many details on what happened exactly. My guess is that he lured them out to Bragg Creek for a hike, killed Jasmine or both of them there, then moved the bodies at Grizzly Creek area, then returned. If he turned his phone off, or left it somewhere in Bragg Creek, it would explain why they were searching that area. I'm also guessing that somebody came forward that saw him in the Grizzly Creek area or they were able to get dash cam footage or CCTV footage of him driving out there. Again, well done CPS I'm so proud that they are closer to convicting this monster.
