Family of missing boy, grandparents won't give up on finding them alive-The Canadian PressBy Bill Graveland, The Canadian Press |JULY 15,14-YahooNews
CALGARY - Police say murder charges are pending in the mysterious case of a missing Calgary boy and his grandparents, but one relative says the family still hopes they're alive.In an email to The Canadian Press, Teena Prevost, a sister-in-law of Kathryn Liknes, said her family is praying police are wrong."Until the police can show us the bodies of our loved ones we will not believe they are deceased," she wrote. "Praying we will find them alive."Teena is married to Randy Prevost, the brother of Kathryn Liknes, and wants people to know that family is suffering as well."Her siblings seem to be all forgotten in all this mess," she said. "Kathy was an amazing sister and sister-in-law."Calgary police Chief Rick Hanson told reporters a man was arrested early Monday, but couldn't be identified until he appeared before a justice of the peace on the charges later in the day or early Tuesday.The man is to face two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Alvin and Kathryn Liknes. One charge of second-degree murder is to be laid in the death of five-year-old Nathan O'Brien.Hanson said the man in custody is from Airdrie, a community north of Calgary, but would not confirm media reports that it is Douglas Garland. The 54-year-old lives on an Airdrie acreage with his parents and was earlier questioned as a person of interest in the case.Hanson would only say police are not looking for any other suspects.The missing family members were last seen two weeks ago, on June 29. The couple held an estate sale at their home that weekend and their grandson stayed for a sleepover.When his mother went to pick him up the next day, no one was home.Police have said there was evidence something violent had happened in the grandparents' house, but always believed there was a chance they could be found alive.Shortly after the three disappeared, Nathan's parents issued a tearful plea through the media asking for their return and urging their "superhero" son to be brave."Even as the days went by there's always a hope, there's always a glimmer of hope," Hanson said. "Unfortunately with the laying of the charges, we've taken that hope away from the family. So they are devastated."After news of the arrest, flowers starting piling up in front of the grandparents' home. A note next to some candles read, "I believe.""I hope they're wrong and they will find them," said neighbour Natalie Stevenson. "To think of losing my parents like that or my son would just be a nightmare." While refusing to discuss the evidence in any detail, Hanson said there is no "smoking gun" that finally led to the arrest and the belief the three are dead.Investigators met with Crown prosecutors on Sunday to go over evidence that had been gathered over the two weeks, he said. They determined charges were warranted. An Amber Alert issued shortly after the family members were reported missing was also cancelled.
"It was clear at that point that this was no longer a missing persons investigation. This was a homicide investigation," Hanson said.From the beginning, the case captivated people across the country. Thousands of people wrote messages on a blog for the family and police received more than 900 tips from the public, including sightings reported from coast to coast.Despite the charges, the police chief said the case is not closed and investigators will continue to search for bodies of little Nathan and his grandparents.Hanson renewed calls for rural property owners to search their land for anything out of the ordinary.Garland was first questioned more than a week ago, then held on unrelated identity theft charges. He was released from custody on Friday. His lawyer on those charges, Kim Ross, did not return messages seeking comment Monday.Investigators have been searching his parents' acreage northeast of Airdrie, including several fields and sloughs on and around the property.Garland has ties to the Liknes family. His sister is in a relationship with a member of the Liknes family.Police earlier said they were looking into whether there was a business connection to the missing persons file.Alvin Liknes was involved in several oil and gas companies, including Winter Petroleum Ltd., which media reports say was forced to close a few weeks ago. The CBC has quoted a police source as saying Garland and Alvin Liknes had a dispute over a patent for a gas device.Court documents show Garland has a criminal record and mental issues.In 2000, he was sentenced to 39 months for making amphetamines at his parents' farm. Before he went to prison, he jumped bail and lived for several years in Vancouver using the identity of a dead person.The Parole Board of Canada gave him accelerated release after six months, noting in its decision that Garland's prior criminal record consisted of various property offences over the course of 20 years.His mental health played a role in the crimes, the board said, but a psychologist determined that Garland had "little violence potential to others.'' It ordered a psychologist and psychiatrist to closely monitor him during his release.Prime Minister Stephen Harper sent out a message of condolence on Twitter Monday."Our thoughts and prayers are with the O'Brien and Liknes families during this time."Alberta Premier Dave Hancock and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi also offered their condolences.
Nathan O'Brien Amber Alert: Search teams return to Liknes home-CBC – Sat, 12 Jul, 2014-YAHOONEWS
Search teams are returning to the home of Kathy and Alvin Liknes Saturday for another sweep of the property, close to two weeks after the couple and their grandson Nathan O'Brien were discovered missing in Calgary.On June 29, Nathan O'Brien's mother left him at his grandparents' home in the southwest Calgary community of Parkhill for a sleepover. The Likneses had held an estate sale over the weekend and the O'Brien family had been over to help out. When Nathan's mother arrived to pick him up on June 30, the three were missing and police say they found evidence that a violent incident had taken place inside the home.In addition to searching the Liknes property again, officers will also be returning to the Airdrie acreage, north of Calgary, which has been the subject of an enormous search effort since last Friday.They will be searching several surrounding acreages as part of the continued effort to find clues into the two-week-old mystery, and are asking rural property owners and businesses to do a thorough search of their properties.More officers will also return to the Spyhill Landfill in Calgary to sift through material there.While no suspect has been named in the investigation yet, police have questioned a "person of interest" who was taken by police on July 4 from the Airdrie acreage, which belongs to his parents.Douglas Garland, 54, was subsequently released from questioning in regards to the Nathan O'Brien disappearance but was charged on an unrelated count of identity theft and unlawfully possessing a bank card.Garland was granted bail on that charge on Friday, which was set at $750, and he must report three times a week to a supervisor and once a week to police while out on bail.He must also live in transitional housing and can't return to his parents' acreage while it is under police investigation.Garland does have a criminal history, which includes drug trafficking and possession of stolen property after he was caught making amphetamines on his parents' acreage in 1992.The then-33-year-old Garland fled those charges and a document from the Tax Court of Canada indicates he was later discovered living under the stolen identity of a dead 14-year-old Alberta boy in Vancouver.He returned to Calgary after being discovered and pleaded guilty to several of the charges in connection to the drug bust and stolen identity, while others were dropped.The new charge facing Garland now specifically relates to the recent use of the same identity.CBC News has also learned that Garland has several connections with the Liknes family.His sister is in a common-law relationship with Alvin Liknes's son and investigators have also been looking into the business relationship between Garland and Liknes.Sources say a business deal between the two went sour, leading to "bad blood," and Calgary police are investigating a patent dispute as part of their probe into the case.Winter Petroleum, a junior gas company owned by Liknes, went bankrupt near the end of June — just days before the family went missing. Liknes had registered a patent for an apparatus that separates gas from water."There are some business issues that we are looking into," said Calgary Police Service spokesman Kevin Brookwell on Thursday. "I can't get into specifics about what these are and who was involved, what they look like or how many people were involved. But yes, we have got a number of people who are looking into that."Court records also show that both Alvin and Kathy Liknes have declared bankruptcy in the past — Alvin in 1994 and Kathy just two years ago.According to records, Liknes was involved in several civil lawsuits in the 1980s and early '90s. He was the defendant in two cases four years ago.

Nathan O'Brien Amber Alert: Search teams return to Liknes home-CBC – Sat, 12 Jul, 2014-YAHOONEWS
