Search continues for Kitchener teens missing in Algonquin Park

“It’s rugged terrain to get through, so it takes time. And that’s part of the reason we’re saying no at this point in time we’re not calling on members of the public to come and help out because it is such rugged terrain and the searchers that we do have in there, the trained searchers, they’re all tracked by GPS,” Dickson explained. “So, once an area has been cleared by our searchers, we can mark that off on a map.”
He said if members of the public get involved, it could get disorganized and cause unnecessary confusion.
“Whereas if we have people just wandering in the woods looking, we might be doing double duty and the same area is being searched two or three times,” Dickson said."
“We’ve had sightings from within the park,” Dickson said. “One sighting that was reported along Highway 60. And I mean there is a chance the girls have made it out of the park by this point in time, but we haven’t heard from them and no one’s heard from them.”
“Please call 1-888-310-1122 if you did see these young girls walking in or near Algonquin Park. Every tip that comes in could prove to be the one that helps us find them.”
