Curious to hear more details about this. Such as how a girl was snatched at 3:30am and a van seen fleeing. Home invasion?

Wow that's ridiculous. Hopefully the little girl is found soon unharmed, my thoughts and prayers are with her family.

father was found dead

The mom found out she was missing on Facebook after reading a media (not police!) post about the murder. That's pretty well officially the worst ever. I hope they find her safe.

Some odd things going on here - Amber alert put out at 3:30AM Monday and his body not found until 11:15AM. Also, it hasn't been mentioned where the girl was abducted from - one would like to assume that if the Amber alert was out at 3:30AM, that the authorities would've already been in contact with the parents.

Doesn't look good.

The Grandfather says his son wasn't well liked and has been in trouble with the law. I'm guessing drugs.

If someone has already murdered one person........
God, so tragic.

We had lunch at the Bar he was working at in June. Saw him working there that day.

Amber Alert was put out at 2:00pm. The incident happened at 3:30 am. During the news conference they were riding the RCMP about why it took so long to release an amber alert. Police weren't notified of the incident until 10 or 11 that morning.

Which is actually quite fast according to the guidlines for Amber alerts. There's so many factors the police need to determine first before putting the alert out.
Not that I agree...just stating facts. And they won't issue an Amber alert involving child custody cases. So they have to rule that out first. And I imagine in this situation they didn't even know a child was missing. Just discovering a body inside a house.

Sad situation all around.

I'm really hoping that the kidnapper will come to his/her senses and drop her off on the side of the highway or some place where someone will see her.

Yep, have a suspect, found the van, no girl...not looking good.

Will be an interesting story once it all unfolds here. I'm going to presume it was targeted.

Hopefully the little girl is found safe!

Powderkeg access road is now closed. RCMP is coming in now. A contractor of ours just checked a burned out pit we all thought was really weird to see. He's having a panic attack and vomiting. I really fucking hope this is just another deer or bear.

Breaking: a 22 year old man from Blairmore, AB has been arrested in connection with the disappearance of Hailey Dunbar -Blanchette

A white van has been located but police aren't sure if the van is the van associated with the amber alert.

Hailey remains missing. Amber alert remains in effect

Here is the latest from the RCMP

# 2 re: Blanchett Homicide and Abduction of Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette

Blairmore, AB – The RCMP has arrested a suspect in the homicide of Terry Blanchette, age 27, who was found dead in his Blairmore home yesterday morning. The male suspect, age 22, was arrested in Blairmore earlier today. He is a resident of that community. His name is not being released due to investigational considerations.

He is now in police custody for questioning in relation to the Blanchett homicide and the disappearance of Hailey Dunbar- Blanchette, age 2, who was abducted from her father’s home at 3:30 a.m. yesterday morning. The investigation into the child’s whereabouts is ongoing. Police have located a white van in the Blairmore area and are in the process of determining if it is related to the incident under investigation. It is too soon for police to know if this is the van that was reportedly seen near the Blanchett home early Monday morning.

The Amber Alert issued in relation to Hailey’s disappearance is still in effect. Anyone with information that might assist police is asked to call Crowsnest Pass RCMP at 403-562-2866. . Anyone wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers with information at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Amber Alerts expire 24-hours after they are issued. The RCMP will be renewing this Amber Alert at 2:14 p.m. today and is asking the jurisdictions of British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Montana to do the same.

The RCMP were in contact with Hailey’s mother Cheyenne Dunbar about the investigation prior to the Amber Alert being issued.
