It sounds like the mother attended court from home via electronic weblink at 9:30AM. That is when she last saw the children at her home.
2 Alberta children believed abducted by grandmother and aunt, RCMP investigating
"The children, along with their aunt and grandmother were last seen at 9:30 a.m. Friday at the children's mother’s home in Cochrane and police are treating their disappearance as a criminal matter."
"Webex continues to be the default mode of hearing for all matters except trials, and jury selection. In person testimony in the courtroom may also be allowed by the Justice in certain circumstances, for example, where in person testimony is needed to adequately assess credibility, physical distancing can be maintained and court resources are available."

Global reports the children were last seen at the grandmothers home, although not who claimed to have last seen them. I don’t think there’d be a reason for the children, aunt or the grandmother to be present at a court custody hearing via Webex. It wouldn’t surprise if they fled in advance, making it far more difficult for the RCMP to track them down and it was JOZ who claimed to have last seen them either when she dropped them off or left for work. The ex arrived later that day to pick them up according to media reports. I wonder, was he led to believe a friendly handoff would occur?
