Manhunt Continues In Quebec As Father Of Girls Found Dead – Quebec provincial police canvassed a wooded area through the night into Tuesday in an effort to find the father of two missing sisters whose lifeless bodies were found in a small community southwest of Quebec City.
The Sûreté du Québec are continuing to search in Saint-Apollinaire, Que., for Martin Carpentier, 44, who remains missing as of Tuesday morning.
“In the evening, information received led us to comb an area a few kilometres from the place where the searches were being carried out,” the police said in a statement on Twitter late Monday night, adding that their checks did not lead to the suspect.
“Despite the difficult conditions, our searches will be maintained tonight and tomorrow.”
The bodies of Norah and Romy Carpentier, 11 and 6, were discovered on Saturday morning in the woods after the girls were the subject of an Amber Alert.
The trio had last been seen Wednesday night, and they were likely involved in a car crash on Highway 20, according to police. The Amber Alert for the sisters was then issued on Thursday afternoon.
Police believe their father may have abducted them, and a manhunt has been underway in the forested area in Saint-Apollinaire since Saturday.
Investigators are asking the public not to approach Martin Carpentier if he is seen and to call 911.
We express our sympathy and deepest condolences to Carpentier’s family today and in the days, weeks, months, and years that are to come as they cope with his passing. May his soul rest in peace.
