‘Spoke about survivability’: Alberta RCMP, SAR meet with family as search for missing boy continues
Search tactics shift due to low survivability estimate under 5%, with 200 personnel from three provinces engaged, adapting methods for the boy's autism.
- On Sunday, RCMP officers and Alberta search-and-rescue officials met with the boy's family to discuss survivability concerns as the search continues, with no plans to scale back.
- Darius Macdougall went missing last Sunday while walking from his campsite with six non-adult family members near the Livingstone Public Land Use Zone on Tent Mountain Road in Crowsnest Pass.
- About 200 personnel from three provinces are involved, including about 100 search-and-rescue volunteers using drones with thermal imaging, search dogs and helicopters while avoiding loud noises for Darius's autism.
- Given that assessment, air search assets and infrared/heat-seeking cameras are altered while search teams' morale supports remain in place; Gina Slaney said, `Just because we're saying survivability is limited right now does not mean we're stopping looking for Darius. We'll continue until we find him.`
- Public information centres opened at the Crowsnest Sports Complex and the curling lounge in Coleman for tips, while officials urged residents not to join searches due to injury risks; the next update is Monday.
