🔎 UPDATE #5 - MISSING CHILD - PARKER 🔍
We continue to ask for the public's help in locating Parker, 11 & are providing an update on the extensive search & investigative efforts underway to find him.
Today, search efforts are also being supported by members of the RCMP, who have joined CPS search teams in the ongoing effort to locate Parker. We are grateful for their continued assistance & partnership.
📍 As the investigation progresses, search efforts are becoming increasingly focused on areas connected to Parker's last known movements & reported sightings. Officers are conducting targeted searches, reviewing video evidence & canvassing communities while identifying & following up on new investigative leads. We continue to track down information received through our non-emergency line, social media, community reports & other public channels as part of an ongoing effort to identify any information that could assist in locating Parker.
Investigators are also using information provided by Parker's family about his interests & behaviours to help guide search efforts. As part of those efforts, officers have been playing some of Parker's favourite Disney songs from patrol vehicles & other search resources in areas where search operations are taking place.
Since he was reported missing, the CPS has dedicated significant resources to locating Parker. More than 300 CPS members have assisted in the search effort & officers have conducted door-to-door inquiries in surrounding communities & continue to canvass the area. Officers have reviewed, or are currently reviewing, approx. 50 hours of CCTV, residential security camera & dashcam footage. Approx. 90 tips have been received and assessed by investigators.
Today, approx. 120 trained search volunteers coordinated through Search & Rescue Alberta are continuing to assist with search operations.
Members of the public may continue to see a significant police & search presence in these communities, including our Air Support Unit, Mounted Patrol Team, Mountain Bike Unit, Canine Unit, patrol officers, investigators & trained search volunteers.
‼️ We want to stress that police & trained search teams are actively conducting coordinated search operations based on investigative information & search-management principles.
Given the heat and the inherent risks associated with searching, there is a significant possibility that large groups of well-intentioned volunteers without search-&-rescue training may require assistance themselves. Any situation requiring police, EMS or search personnel to respond to volunteer safety concerns would divert critical resources away from the ongoing effort to locate Parker.
We respectfully ask that if Calgarians do choose to search, they do not interrupt or interfere with police operations, trained search teams or organized search efforts already underway.
We also ask that community-led search activities avoid areas where official searches are taking place & do not create situations that require police or search personnel to redirect resources from ongoing operations. Remain mindful of the heat, ongoing operations, not enter private property without permission & report any information or sightings to police immediately.
🚗 Additionally, there is limited parking available in the area. We ask community members not to park near active search operations & to ensure access routes remain clear for police, emergency vehicles & search teams.
📣 Anyone with information about his whereabouts, or who may have CCTV or dashcam footage of Parker, is asked to contact police by calling 403-266-1234 or by submitting it here: https://t.co/Z5ulkAdUSS
