Overview

  • Alberta RCMP said the 6- and 4-year-old children were found in West Kelowna on Sept. 17 after an investigation that involved units across Alberta, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and Yukon.
  • Krista Morrison and Daniel Ludwig have been arrested and charged with contravening a custody order, and investigators said the case was solved through traditional policing methods rather than technology.
  • An Amber Alert originally issued when the children disappeared on July 7 was rescinded three days later after police judged the public could not act on it, a decision officials referenced while describing the long search.
  • Separately, Edmonton police continue two open public-safety matters: the major-collision probe into a cyclist struck Aug. 25 who later died and a Feb. 19 trading-card store robbery for which officers are asking for help identifying five suspects.
  • Community and media developments include Edmonton Meals on Wheels launching a school lunch pilot with Edmonton Catholic Schools, criticism in the Journal of a reported $14 solar-panel recycling fee, and the Edmonton Sun moving its Homes section from print to digital.
