Deceased/Not Found Canada - Lyle, 78, & Marie McCann, 77, Alberta, 5 July 2010 #1 *T. Vader guilty*

[Sillybilly]

Sorry folks, I'm a newbie to these places...what does this mean, I've seen it posted within responses here:

"RS&BBM"

"rsbm"

?

RS&BBM = respectfully snipped and bolded by me

RSBM = respectfully snipped by me

Back in post #219, LayzeeDayzee mentioned that it looked like the POI had 'meth mouth'. Now, I'm very fortunate not to have been close to anyone that had been into hard drugs so I found that comment interesting.

Today I accidentally came across these before and after photos, called the 'Faces of Meth'. I found them fascinating, in a troubling way, because they clearly show the devastation that meth can cause in a fairly short time.

I'm always learning something here on WS.

Mounties hope couple's auto will help solve disappearance

Police who located the vehicle belonging to a missing Alberta couple are hoping witnesses, or clues from the scene will help them figure out how it got there, and more importantly, where its owners are.

Sorry, info removed.

I'm glad you posted that LayzeeDayzee. I have spent the last couple of days searching through hundreds of comments in the Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province, canada.com online comments sections ... searching for a post I had seen where the person twice used the word "awsome" (sic) as TV spelled it on his FB page. Haven't been able to find it again, and presume some of the comments may have been removed. I can't recall what the content of that particular post was about, but the typo stood out to me like a sore thumb, and it was definitely prior to TV being announced as a POI. Hopefully the newspaper or another reader called in with the info.

Along with the rest of you, I'm heartsick about this beautiful couple.

I've seen that spelling of "awsome" before, too, but it was across the country.

One newspaper closed down their comments section online. I wonder if it was just a annoying poster or not...

Mother of fugitive Vader urges son to turn himself in
edmontonjournal.com
July 18, 2010 4:50 PM

MACKAY, ALBERTA — The mother of fugitive Travis Vader is urging her son to turn himself in to police.

“I just want him to come forward. I want him to turn himself in,” Jennifer Vader told the Journal outside the family home in MacKay, a rural hamlet 150 kilometres west of Edmonton.

“I just want him to come forward.”

The tiny, sun-drenched hamlet of MacKay is so small it doesn’t have a sign — only a rusty, green mailbox just south of the spot where the Lobstick River crosses Highway 751.

Herb Nichols, who has lived in MacKay for three decades and owns the acreage beside the Vaders’ property, said Sunday the Vaders bought the property in the mid-1980s after the family returned from Texas where Travis Vader’s father, Ed, was working in the oilpatch. Travis Vader was a teenager at the time.

“I knew him since he was a kid, and he was a good kid,” Nichols said. “He was like Paul Bunyan, working in the bush. He was a hard worker, and he ended up in the oilfield like the rest of his family and he did well there until the oilfield went sour.”

“They were using it to steal oilfield pipe and stuff and selling it to pay their meth bills,” he said.

INTERESTING! Just watching the 6pm Global News in Calgary and they had a small bit on the McCann's. The newsperson then reported that the POI's "sister", who didn't want to be on camera, had reported to someone at Global that she was WITH the POI from Jul 4 to 11 in EDMONTON..and then of course the news person followed that up by stating that the McCanns burned RV was found on Jul 5.

Will see if I can find any news article to about this.

It would appear this family member was claiming the POI could not have been involved because he was in Edmonton that whole time. Hmmm.

 

[LayzeeDayzee]

The newsperson was Jayme Doll. I went to the Global TV News website and it shows that each evening's 6pm news is available online (video) for viewing but not sure how long it will take for tonight's broadcast to be available. On the following page, I can only see Jun 1-17's broadcasts so not sure if tonight's will be available later today or tomorrow:

Possible Calgary connection to missing couple's case ...

Updated: Sun Jul. 18 2010 18:10:25

Calgary police are investigating a possible sighting of a man wanted for questioning in the search for a missing Alberta couple.

An employee at a gas station on Strathcona Boulevard SW says he believes Travis Vader stopped to fill up with gas there Sunday. The man in question was driving a white minivan ...

Thanks SB! If that is in fact TV, then he traveled south.
Looking at the map, he could take Highway 1 from that point and head either west towards Kamloops or east towards Medicine Hat; or he could keep going south.

Police confirm to CTV News they have seized the video surveillance tape from the gas station and have passed it on to RCMP.

Hopefully if this is the case, the RCMP will confirm it to the general public, and maybe more people will pay attention and be able to find him!

This case happened not long ago:

Thank-you, Sillybilly for posting this update.

I wonder if a white van matching this description has been reported stolen, and if LE will issue a picture/description of it?

Hoping for a safe return of the McCann's today.

MACKAY, ALBERTA — The mother of Travis Vader is urging her son to turn himself in to police.

"I just want him to come forward. I want him to turn himself in," Jennifer Vader told The Journal on Sunday, outside the family home in MacKay, a rural hamlet 150 kilometres west of Edmonton.

"I just want him to come forward."​

As recently as one month ago, Vader was living on a acreage just up the road from his parents' home.

The tiny hamlet of MacKay is so small it doesn't have a sign -- only a rusty, green mailbox just south of the spot where the Lobstick River crosses Highway 751.

The McCanns' relatives have been waiting anxiously for news, on edge every time the phone rings with the possibility the RCMP are calling with news about the case.

Marie Ann McCann and Lyle Thomas McCann were last seen July 3. (RCMP)"I mean, there's all kinds of scenarios here one could imagine, and I try not to think about that," said their son, Bret McCann.

He said he refuses to consider the possibility his parents are dead.

"My dad is very resourceful," Bret said. "I think of them that they may be in the bush somewhere, but I think my dad — this has been quite awhile, but I think he'd be taking care of Mom and he'd be looking after himself out there. So that's what I picture."

Nicole Walsh, the McCanns' granddaughter, is also hopeful her grandparents will be found alive.

"I honestly do think we'll be together as a family," she said.

"Grandpa loves to tell stories and I think this is just another story in his life. We will talk about it. You know, I can't wait to hear him tell the story."

The Mounties have not publicly reported any progress in their search for Vader or the McCanns in recent days.

Investigators have been in touch with some of Vader's friends.
