Much of the focus will be on the banks of Middle River. Article contentArticle contentArticle contentSix-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack were reported missing from their rural home in Lansdowne Station on May 2. Article content“If all of the evidence is still pointing to being close to that property and they weren’t found, then you have to refocus on water again,” Oldrieve said in a phone interview. “It is based on the one theory that the children entered the waterway. Article content“We had a case out of Ontario. His name was Eric Spencer and was missing for six years. He walked into these woods and wasn’t found. He never came out. We decided to change our tactic (and) focus on the waterways because if he entered the woods and he wasn’t found, the likelihood was he was underwater at the time. When we revisited the site six years later, we located him right on the bank of a pond. Article content“The water levels were high in May, but two weeks ago they were the lowest they’ve been in a long time. They’re high again now. But if we’re focusing on the river system, certainly with that river level going down and then up again, it would have dislodged something, it would have moved something down river, which is where we’re focusing.” Article contentIn September, two RCMP police dogs from Western Canada specifically trained in human remains detection were brought in to search the woods but did not find any remains.
