Overview
- Court filings released after media challenges recount two neighbours reporting a vehicle coming and going near the children’s trailer in the early hours before the May 2 disappearance.
- Brad Wong told police a loud vehicle left the area three or four times after midnight and returned repeatedly, while Justin Smith reported hearing a car around 1:30 a.m. near the tracks before it headed toward Lairg Road.
- Investigators sought phone, banking and video records and reviewed device images and GPS data, with documents noting the mother deleted the TextPlus app, which removed call data she said she made after the children were reported missing.
- Stepfather Daniel Martell told CBC the family neither left the property nor had visitors that night, and the mother said she slept through the night, accounts that Wong says conflict with what he heard.
- RCMP say cadaver dogs found no human remains, forensic results are pending, the family is co-operating, and there is no evidence of an abduction as investigators continue the search under the Missing Persons Act.
