Deceased/Not Found Canada - Alvin, 66, & Kathy Liknes, 53, Nathan O'Brien, 5, Calgary, 30 Jun 2014 - #18

[Sillybilly]

Are you talking about the googleearth photo you posted a few posts upstream?

IIRC, the pic otto posted above is from Google Streetview and doesn't show the white car but Google Earth shows it.

 

[LoriMcA]

From the last thread ... posted by LoriMcA ... asking where this photo was taken.

I think this photo is taken on the West side of the house.

Aha...I believe you are correct on that otto! I didn't think it could be the west side but after scoping out google street view....*which won't give a good angle between the houses darn it!* and then seeing this picture from ctv:

http://calgary.ctvnews.ca/polopoly_...e.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_960/image.jpg

and this one from coast reporter:

http://images.glaciermedia.ca/polop...tives/landscape_563/jmc101198096-high-jpg.jpg

You can see the siding is the same...the steps also...the small white fence & the shrub on the L's property ....and the shadowing is correct.....It's the west side of the house....Forensics examiner is looking east from the neighbour's side step/side walkway...

 

[LoriMcA]

Regarding location of truck picture/white car:
The street view images are from October 2012 & that white car that is in the picture distributed by LE is visible even then...parked approx the same spot Oct 2012 as June 2014.

 

[deugirtni]

yes you're right, so I wonder what the fellow is taking photos of then, I wonder if this side is where they presume the perp gained access to the L property. It is eery to think that perhaps he was going around looking in all of the windows to see where the occupants were located. (that is assuming that he did this before everyone went to bed).

 

[deugirtni]

Excellent! I am definitely nominating you for 'picture tracker' for this case.

 

[LoriMcA]

Just as an added note...anyone have $1.9 million lying around? You can buy that HUGE house on the corner of 1A & 38a...It's listed right now...*possible cctv house...I looked at the listing & it states alarm/security system...I was hoping it would say cameras &/or cctv but it didn't...drats!*....holy moly hey?

If I'm looking at the correct listing, the $1.9 million is actually for only half of the house. It's a semi-detached home (i.e. duplex). Inner city Calgary real estate is pretty crazy, hey?

The house across the street was also for sale at the time of the estate sale. The house appears to be staged and possibly vacant on the realtor's webpage. Interesting to note... [modsnip]. The realtor also lives in Parkhill, apparently 3 doors down and was also quoted in a MSM article as a worried neighbour. I was thinking she must have allowed LE into the home to search it (LE searched many homes) and that is why she was around for a comment to reporters. Maybe the realtor/neighbour let LE into the house or JS or her parents would have.[modsnip].

[LoisLane]

That darn website to pull land titles has been down for a few days now. I really would like to know the name of the lawyer who bought the Liknes home.

 

[LoisLane]

Police are quoted that they were "looking" for this guy for 17 years. This guy was on a most wanted list, yet he was in the basement of his home the whole time.

Here is a link to the weather/temps for June 29/30, high 16C on the 29th, low 11, and on 30th, low 11 (would not have reached its high by 10am), that sounds rather chilly. Would cement dry that quickly if concrete had been hosed down during the wee hours?

Also, just for reference in the same post, sunset was 9;55pm on June 29th, sunrise was at 5;25am on June 30th.
http://www.timeanddate.com/sun/canada/calgary?month=6&year=2014

add 40 mins of lingering twilight after sunset and 40 mins prior to sunrise,, it's the altitude that gets the long twilight

You are right Sylvia! I went and looked back at the listing and it shows 2 sides......okay.....so my holy moly just turned into a holy $**t! sorry....

I remember 122 *that first listing link you have* being for sale..the 3 storey white house..way back at the beginning in July...I remember we'd found that listing & the list price...when we were comparing the values to the L's house....


[modsnip] Maybe a revenue property?


I know 116/118 *brown condos* right across the street is/was listed as well...at least a couple of weeks ago it was...I don't recall if it was listed back then tho...but 122 was...

Definitely, HA has their hands into places people wouldn't even think.

I have read the gangsters out blog as well, good stuff. I'm also an avid reader of the Lindsay Buziak murder dot com site (the realtor killed while showing a couple a million dollar property, which was just an elaborated set up for murder) which also outs a lot of white collar professionals (and street thugs as well) who have their hands in the pot. Crime has no social boundaries that's for sure.

Does anyone find these early statements from CH a bit more telling of what the household might have been like? BBM

Cherri Hodgins, Kathy Liknes' friend since junior high, was at the sale on Sunday. She last saw the couple that afternoon. "They were actually pretty happy," she said.

"They did well on the sale. They were relieved they'd sold off some things. They were looking forward to the future and they were looking forward to good change."

Why were they relieved at selling stuff, they had sold the house and had near 700 grand?

As for white collar HA, well, go to Montreal and find out how rooted they are in everything from municipal politics Quebec/police thru Provincial/Surte. They don't ride Harleys, more drive BMW's and are very clean cut. On St. Catherines street during the 92 Stanley Cup riot, most businesses that suffered damages didn't have insurance and had to pay out of their own pockets for repairs as they were also paying Protection money to the HA or Rock Machine.

The vacant house across the street (122 38A) sure has a great view of the L house.

Hmm, funny choices of wording. Not only the 'actually', but also the 'pretty'. BBM
Seems a weird thing to say considering they were going off to live in retired bliss between 2 homes owned in 2 countries, paying for their kids to be flown in for vacations, etc.

"They were actually pretty happy," she said.

If a home is mortgaged for 700 grand, or 800 grand, there wouldn't have been anything to 'have'.
