Saturday, July 15: Security footage shows the mother with a cart full of groceries outside a Kamloops grocery store. The children were not seen in the store. Different footage also shows her pickup towing a small white horse trailer (it’s a different trailer than the two seen in earlier footage).
Monday, July 17: The children fail to return to their Surrey home as planned.
Tuesday, July 18: The father reports his kids as missing.
Wednesday, July 19: Surrey RCMP issues an Amber Alert that goes out to B.C. residents’ mobile devices after determining there was “an imminent risk to the safety and well-being” of the children. On Wednesday afternoon, a man identifying himself as the kids’ father posted on Facebook, saying they may also be travelling with three dogs. Police tell the media that they believe the mother is “actually taking active steps” to prevent the children returning home.
Thursday, July 20: Police release more photos of earlier sightings of the kids and some new information, including that they believe the mother may be travelling with her father and her boyfriend. Authorities also share a statement on behalf of the children’s family urging the public to be very vigilant and on the lookout for the two children.
