Two Boys Abducted in Alberta Found Safe in B.C., Mother and Partner Charged: RCMP
Police say the children were found in good health after a two-and-a-half-month search, and investigators are seeking the adults’ return to Alberta.
Two missing Alberta boys, aged four and six, were found safe Thursday at a rural property in West Kelowna, British Columbia, following a two-and-a-half-month investigation by the Alberta RCMP.
An Amber Alert was issued in early July for the older child, but was later cancelled after police determined the specific criteria for the alert were no longer being met.
Derrick Gladdish, team commander for the investigation, reported the children appeared in "good health" and happy when apprehended, with the boys now in the care of British Columbia's Ministry of Children and Family Development.
Police arrested the children's mother, Krista Morrison, and her partner, Daniel Ludwig, on warrants for contravening a custody order, with both now in custody in British Columbia awaiting bail hearings.
Arrangements are underway to transfer the children to Alberta's children and family services, though officials stated no further details will be released because the matter remains before the courts.
