Sparwood

Sparwood, British Columbia
Tucked away in some of the most rugged terrain in the heart of the Elk Valley, and amongst the densest wildlife populations in North America, is the paradise town of Sparwood. The second largest centre on the Elk River, Sparwood has an amazing history, although it is one of the youngest towns in British Columbia.
Sparwood, BC

Elk Valley cuts deep into the Rocky Mountains, and in its center lies Sparwood, named for the nearby trees used as spars for ships. Sparwood is as well known for its abundance of wildlife as it is for the 260 ton Terex Titan, the world's largest dump truck. A visit to Sparwood isn't complete without touring Elkview Mine, one of Canada's largest open pit coal mines.

how far could this little boy have gone??




Neighbour Nila Alaric lives on Cypress Drive, close to the Heberts, and said over the phone at 4 p.m., "I can see people searching everywhere right now."

The mother of two infants said the neighbourhood is bordered by forest and she has seen cougars, black bears, turkey, deer, moose and elk.

"At night, if it's after 8 p.m. I'm thinking about the bears," Alaric said.

Frank Hughes is a local realtor who has worked with Kienan's dad Paul - who sells homes for another company.

Hughes said the family has six children and lives on the new Whiskey Jack golf course.

He said he was showing a house in the neighbourhood this morning when he saw Mr. Hebert and then joined the search for Kienan.

He said the authorities soon took over the search, but many people in the small town are hoping to find the little boy.

"The locals in Sparwood - it was amazing how quickly they responded," Hughes said. "There's an awful lot of people still looking up there."

Derek Scherer, a spokesman for Sparwood Search and Rescue, said the search leaders are currently in the command centre discussing where to go from here.

"We've done a fairly thorough search and a big circumference around the house," Scherer said.

He said this included a shoulder-to-shoulder search for about 600 metres.

"We have upwards of 200 volunteers searching," Scherer said.

Doesn't sound like this will end well.

Damn that kid is cute.

I wish I hadn't read this before bed. Made my stomach sick.

i'd like to know how this went from the baby wandered off to a suspected abduction so quickly. damn it to hell. this guy appears to be the village psycho. how did he get the child? if he did.

previous dropped child abduction charges:
The charges stemmed from an incident where the main witness was a 10-year-old boy who was described as being a high-needs mentally challenged child. The boy told his foster mother Hopley had broken into the home and on two occasions, tried to push the lad out of his bedroom window.

Hopley claimed he tried to abduct the boy from foster care and transfer him to his biological parents for $2,800.

In the wake of the break-in a search warrant of Hopley’s residence revealed pictures of the boy, a suitcase of children’s clothing, some of the boy’s medication and GoodNites (underwear for children with bedwetting problems).

Given that he has tried to abduct from inside a home before, it's quite possible this little guy didn't wander out after all.

Wonder if he left something in Kienan's room, and that's how they linked this?

suspect hopley.



RCMP “There’s a history that Kienan does sleepwalk, but in past incidents, he’s never exited the house. Other than that, there’s not much else (to explain his disappearance).”

Cpl. Moskaluk said officials decided to look at issuing an Amber Alert around 5:30 p.m.

He said he couldn’t answer why investigators identified Mr. Hopley as a person of interest.

“I don’t know what the connection is ... I just get apprised as to okay, yeah, we’re going to be able to go this route.”

However, Cpl. Moskaluk did say Mr. Hopley is currently on probation with conditions and is residing in the Sparwood area.

Moskaluk said Hopley should speak to investigators once he becomes aware police are looking for him.

He also said the ground search for Kienan will continue.

my first thought on awakening this morning was hope he had been found safely.

HOW did this happen with 2 parents and 6 siblings in the house??

Dive teams search for missing girl
5-year-old autistic girl missing in Hampton
Thursday, 08 Sep 2011
HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY/AP) - Police are searching for a missing 5-year-old autistic girl who is believed to have wandered away from her home in Hampton.

Dive teams from Hampton and the Virginia State Police have been searching three small lakes in the area of Triton Way.

Hampton police Cpl. Jason Price says Kaymania Serenity Catta's family reported her missing at 5:43 p.m. Wednesday.

Price says the girl doesn't speak.

Several state, local and federal agencies will be on-hand, including the FBI, Newport News Police and members of the military to assist with the search. In addition, two experts from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be coming into town Thursday morning.

At 6 a.m., officials began sending out reverse 911 calls which include a detailed automated message about Kaymania's disappearance.

Kaymania was wearing a black "Hello Kitty" T-shirt and purple shorts with white stripes when she disappeared. She wasn't wearing shoes. She's described as a black child with medium complexion, 4 feet tall and weighing about 50 pounds.

If you see Kaymania Serenity Catta, call the Hampton Police Division at 727-6111 or the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

edit: 9 a.m. UPDATE: A State Police dive team has found a body in a small lake during a search for 6-year-old Kaymania Serenity Catta near her Hampton home Thursday morning. Police are confirming the body is that of the missing girl.

evidently there are 9 kids, a couple of them grown.

video here with father speaking. his demeanor is quite calm.

Hebert described his reaction when he and his wife realized their son was missing on Wednesday morning.

"As any parent, when you see your kid missing, it's not a funny feeling, you know. It's a sick feeling, you know. It's a sick feeling in your gut, and we knew what we needed to do. It was 911. Let them do their job," he said.

i am sure they have combed the house if they think this guy came in and took the child.
damn risky behavior in such a full household.

search has expanded into Alberta and Washington State.

Vancouver Sun

SPARWOOD, B.C. — From the thick underbrush surrounding the half-completed mountain suburb of Sparwood Heights, all that can be heard is the sound of a dozen trekking feet and a lone female voice wailing: "Kienan. Mommy loves you," again and again.

It's a trigger word, explained Simon Piney, one of the managers of the search-and-rescue effort trying to locate three-year-old Kienan Hebert.

"Kids are often scared by strangers, so if he hears a bunch of people crashing through the woods yelling: 'Hey, Hey, Hey.' He's more likely to hide," Piney said.

Fears for the safety of the missing B.C. boy grew on Thursday as the search continued for Kienan and the sex criminal being linked to his disappearance.

Kienan disappeared overnight Tuesday from his home in Sparwood, a southeastern B.C. town near the Alberta border.

Crews have expanded their search, aided by helicopters, dogs and groups of volunteers, while police continue to look for Randall Hopley, an area man with an extensive criminal record for assault, sexual assault and 12 break-ins.

The effort has all but shut down the tiny mountain town as residents pulled out their boots to aid in the search.

The Hebert house sits in a partially developed zone near Sparwood, just off Highway 43, surrounded by treed mountains and the nearby soot-stained coal mines. Sparwood Heights is still a mixture of new, empty homes, dirt lots and the occasional patch of perfect lawn. The Hebert house, where plastic toys sit unused in the unfenced backyard, is now circled by yellow police tape.

Local residents have been warned not to speak to the media, whose satellite trucks have flooded the barren suburb. WHY NOT??

Piney said local search and rescue teams have already scoured the most obvious places little Kienan could be hiding — empty attics, basements, fields and trees. A fire truck made the rounds Wednesday night with its lights flashing.

"Little kids love fire trucks," explained another search and rescue manager, Ed Ehrler.

i never trust eyewitnesses, but if there is video, it means he was/is still alive. i hope so!!

CTV News
Thursday Sep. 8, 2011 6:48 PM PT

On a day when hundreds of volunteers helped the RCMP search for a missing three-year-old British Columbia boy, a source told CTV News that the child was spotted with a suspect in the case.

Late Thursday, a source told CTV News that police have surveillance video that shows three-year-old Kienan Hebert in the company of Randall Peter Hopley.

While police have not confirmed that claim, they will say that they are gathering security video from businesses and highways in the region.

FUCK! he set up his landlord for an extended absence.

Hopley's landlord Orville Sheets told CTV News that the suspect left his rented trailer sometime between 8 and 9 a.m. on Wednesday, and said he was on his way to a court date in Pincher Creek, Alta. He says Hopley had paid two months' rent and cleaned up his room before leaving.

Oh my God I hope they will find the little boy alive and take care of this sick fucker!!!
