The volunteer-organized search efforts to look for any clues or signs to help in finding the missing five-year-old Nathan O’Brien and his grandparents has become increasingly controversial. Some of the organizers stopped the grassroots campaign in response to a backlash over social media on late Wednesday night, whereas the others were still looking at several rural areas in Balzac, Airdrie and Rockyview County.
The volunteer workers hope to provide Liknes/O’Brien family some closure. The trio has been missing since more than two weeks now and Calgary Police have found reason to believe that a violent altercation took place in the family house before their disappearance. Calgary police has perceived all three of them dead and has charged the suspect with three murders. The idea of volunteer search was conceived by two Airdrie mothers as they vowed to look for clues in the city. The idea quickly caught on and more than 100 people showed up to help at Nose Creek Park on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Calgary Police have refrained from either excusing or condemning the action. Although the Spokesperson for Calgary Police, Kevin Brookwell, admired their efforts, he confessed that it is causing some challenges. He stated that “we have been speaking with them and given some direction on what to look for and if you come across something.” Additionally, he stated that “part of the problem is that our officers, they’re trained and know what to touch and what not to touch and all of those can be critical pieces that can have an overall impact on a court case.”
