My gut tells me these kids are alive and were taken. If they were killed at their home, don't you think the police would have found some indication. It is hard to clean everything plus, why kill two kids.

Or taken and no longer alive.

MBM said pretty quickly to MSM, paraphrasing, that DM was a very involved father and helped take care of them, especially when she overwhelmed, and that he had a voice they would listen to, and he was not a scary or violent stepdad was what she implied.

She never said that about Daniel to the media. She said something similar to the RCMP and the media reported that.

“There are multiple aspects of this investigation ongoing simultaneously,” said Staff Sgt. Rob McCamon, officer in charge of major crime and behavioural sciences.

“Each piece of information, including the results from the search teams, helps inform our next steps. With support from agencies across Canada, the investigative team is working to validate or eliminate leads and follow the evidence wherever it takes us.

He added that RCMP are still "considering all possibilities."

"We’ll keep going until we determine, with certainty, the circumstances of the children’s disappearance and they’re found," said McCamon.

If the children were abducted, I don’t believe for a minute a 4 and 6 year old would’ve been glued to the TV waiting to hear their mommy express how much she loves them. If anyone was expecting her to do that, all I can say is it’s very wise for the RCMP to advise her not to speak to the media.

Maybe because I’m Canadian where public pleas are uncommon, but I really don’t understand how that would prove or disprove her love for her children. Do people like watching that sort of thing, someone’s raw and tortured emotional pain, through their tears? I will say I don’t, it’s as disturbing to me as watching someone with a bleeding wound. I don’t know, maybe in this country we’re kinder. The young woman already has experienced deep trauma by her children going missing, maybe she doesn’t want to put herself on public display where surely more judgement will follow, it’s her call.

Maybe your right about ones country of origin and maybe if its uncommon in Canada prehaps it is why I from another country find it strange.

I'm sure your familiar with the way missing stories are run in UK and Irish newspapers and maybe that's why I find it strange .

I may have my opinion but im open to hearing others too . And it is interesting when hearing from those familiar with the workings of investigations and the way they are conducted in the public eye .

Despite the lack of regular msm updates the children's plight is being talked about on the street even in ireland , I actually overheard 2 people in a supermarket queue on Saturday talking about the kids and how sad that there is no understanding as what happened them after all this time .

I do think the RCMP are wording the statements they are releasing quite weirdly though , maybe it's just me but they are very mixed snd not one has stated that the children definitely wandered into the woods even though they are stating, not criminal and not abduction

Really, I wonder how long it took this RCMP officer to scramble up this statement?

Cadaver dogs fail to find human remains in search for missing Nova Scotia children

Police in Nova Scotia say no human remains have been found during recent searches for two young missing siblings in Pictou County.

“The dogs are highly trained to detect and indicate the scent of human remains, therefore, if the dogs did not alert their handlers, it suggests the dogs were never in the presence of human remains odour,” said Staff Sgt. Stephen Pike in the release.

“However, this doesn’t definitively rule out the presence of remains in the areas that were searched. It means either the odour is there and couldn’t be detected or the odour isn’t there.”

In summary: LE is still "considering all possibilities." "We’ll keep going until we determine, with certainty, the circumstances of the children’s disappearance and they’re found,"

I'm really starting to feel the kids were never in the woods .

One line from the article peaked my curiosity and I would love to hear more expierenced posters take on it .
' investigators would not talk about what investigative theories they had "
If we rule out criminality and abduction and a possibility no wandering took place what other theories are possible.

In Canada there have been occasions where various relatives of a missing person or homicide victim have appeared before the media to appeal to the public for assistance. But on every occasion I can recall, they’ve been flanked and supported by the presence of LE and it’s quite clear both parties are united in their efforts to solve the crime that occurred while seeking justice. I’ve heard it rumoured that LE often assists the loved one with a script of what to say, in the hope of maximizing a positive outcome. The presentation is tasteful, somewhat formalized. I think most of us are quite comfortable with that.

This is not the scenario that for various reasons I don’t see it happening here. The fractures within the children’s family run deep, including the immediate family. The RCMP stated there’s no evidence of an abduction and apparently advised MBM not to speak to the media. Unless something changes….
