Rough Notes from Live Presser, Friday, September 9, 2011:
-2 Theories currently being investigated, Kienan wandered away or with POI
-Over 200 in field right now
-Well over 20 Investigators
-Statistics on Search Management, indicate that the chances for a child of Kienan's age being okay within 96 hours of wandering away are about 76%. That is quite high. Most of the 1,000's of cases studied indicate that the child will be within a 1 KM radius. It is incredibly unlikely that a barefoot child would make it past the many natural boundaries surround the Hebert household (mountains, river etc.)
-LE has established a perimeter.
-They are searching trails, there are confined space experts searching ditches and culverts, Military Aircraft Comorants and Buffalos, RCMP and Civilian Agencies, Swift Water Rescue Experts, K9 Agencies from both the RCMP and the Avalanche Agency (missed name)
-When the search perimeter has been completely searched, this will exclude an area that Kienan is, so that is a good thing.
-LE still needs volunteers. They need every single person they can get.
-Anything can change the methodology for the search on Theory 1. A clue or something concrete regarding Theory 2 would change the methodology.
-LE has looked at the River with Swiftwater Rescue Personnel, watercraft and helicopters, including Wilson Creek
-The areas have been extremely well explored
LE address Recreational Property Owners in the general area of the Province:
-Please check for any sign of a break-in, stolen property, something amiss, check for the 4 Door Brown Camry.
-Call 911 immediately
-Regular community members have been seen with flyers in their vehicles, pictures of the POI, the car, and Kienan. That is a good thing.
-The Major Crime unit is on the case with well over 20 investigators
-Today they are conducting a search of the last known residences of Hopley
-This is not the 1st time they have been there, but, it is the 1st time they have been searched. (My comment: SEARCH WARRANT?)
-There have been reported sightings. NO CONFIRMED SIGHTINGS of Randall Hopley, the vehicle or Kienan.
-LE does not have any video of the POI or the Vehicle (he did not say Kienan, not sure if that was an oversight or not).
-If you have any CCTV video or video, could you review it and call police if you see any of these things on it
-LE issued a BOLF (be on the lookout for) at mid-day on Wednesday. That means that all internal agencies including the Border, Alberta, State (Washington) LE and other agencies were aware of the suspects vehicle, description
-Hopley would have been arrested upon sight of any LEO that day, prior to the Amber Alert being activated.
LE is determined for and hoping for a positive outcome in this case, as are we all.
(end of my viewing - he goes on about the Amber Alert among other things)
