Deceased/Not Found Canada - Lyle, 78, & Marie McCann, 77, Alberta, 5 July 2010 #2 *T. Vader guilty*

Crime Stoppers issues McCann info plea

It's been almost a month since the burning SUV of a missing St. Albert couple was found in a wooded area near Edson.

And while there's been no sign of Lyle and Marie McCann, who disappeared on their way to a B.C. camping trip, their family isn't giving up the search.

Bret McCann, the couple's son, says a number of people in the Edson area are offering to help. "My sister is organizing a meeting for next week, with some people who are familiar with the area, to see if they can help us."

Bret adds they are in frequent contact with the RCMP regarding a possible large-scale public search in the area where the SUV was found.

Crime Stoppers has now stepped up to the plate, asking for `any piece of information'' that could lead police to the McCanns. (mb)

"We know that one person can make a difference," said the Crime Stopper release Wednesday.

"We request the public to provide any piece of information, regardless of how seemingly inconsequential it appears, as it might be the piece of the puzzle needed to help solve the investigation.

"And more importantly, help the McCann family."

The charitable organization is asking people with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.crimestoppers.ab.ca.

The group says it guarantees anonymity to anyone who calls and the information may qualify the caller for a reward of up to $2,000.

Did we ever come to a conclusion about the green suv spotted speeding away from the Morena valley in the Norma Lopez homicide? Could it be possible that there is a connection? I fear that the human remains found in New Mexico could have something to do with the missing Mccann couple. I hope I am way off, but where could they be?

My first thought also Patience. Could also be the same perp/mo but a different couple.

 

[Patience]

There is a couple missing form that area as well, so who knows. My thoughts are with the Mccann family.

State police said the victims were believed to have left the Oklahoma City, Okla., area early Monday morning and to have traveled west towards New Mexico along Interstate 40. The victims were traveling in a white four-door 2008 Chevrolet pickup truck pulling a light-colored 32-foot travel trailer.

The travel trailer was found west of Santa Rosa and the truck was located at approximately 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, abandoned in a parking lot near Edith Boulevard and Osuna Road in Albuquerque, police said.

No conclusions Patience; still just curious coincidence.

Project Kare has been notified, so hopefully this is not related to the McCanns:

For those that haven't seen it, here is another very recent sad case of an older couple being killed while traveling in their camper after running into some nasty people.

There were discussions earlier in the McCann threads as to whether the the McCanns could have been in the RV when it burned. Skeletal remains of this couple were found in the completely burned out hulk of their trailer in New Mexico.

Skeletal remains of this couple were found in the completely burned out hulk of their trailer in New Mexico.

Am wondering why the McCann RV was burned, but not the SUV. If one perp, it seems there was a distinction in the perp's mind between the two vehicles. This is a long shot, but am wondering if the ground beneath where the McCann RV was burned has been excavated to ensure nothing was buried underneath the charred wreckage.

Vader in court in Evansburg today on charges unrelated to the McCanns' disappearance. He will appear again tomorrow in Barrhead on 12 other charges:

The person-of-interest in the case of a missing couple from St. Albert is facing a long list of charges unrelated to the case of the McCann's disappearance.

Travis Vader is answering to 16 charges in Evansburg, from driving while suspended, to obstructing a peace officer and possession of stolen property.

On Monday, Vader appeared briefly in an Evansburg courtroom via closed circuit TV.

Lyle and Marie McCann left for Chilliwack, B.C. on July 3rd and have not been seen or heard from since.

Police are still trying to piece together clues that may lead them to the missing couple.

I think the RV was burned because there was evidence of foul play in it. I still believe the McCanns' are in the vicinity of where the RV was found.

McCanns disappointed Vader a no-show in Edmonton court

Family hoped to appeal to &#8216;person of interest&#8217; to share information

The family of missing St. Albert couple Lyle and Marie McCann came to an Edmonton court Tuesday, hoping to see the Alberta man named a person of interest in the case.

But Travis Vader, who RCMP believe has information related the couple&#8217;s disappearance, was not in the courtroom. He is being held in custody and a lawyer appeared on his behalf for the brief court proceeding.

Bret McCann, his wife, their daughter and their daughter&#8217;s husband had showed up for the scheduled provincial court appearance of Travis Vader, however the matter was adjourned because he was busy dealing with other charges in Barrhead via closed circuit television.
.
The McCann family also spoke about their support for the efforts of the Mounties, which they conceded does take a &#8220;leap of faith,&#8221; but said they are looking at accepting donations for a trust fund to expand the search.

Bret McCann said he was told &#8220;the investigation is on solid ground and proceeding well&#8221; during a meeting with RCMP on Monday.

&#8220;We took a lot of reassurance from that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I really do have faith in the RCMP. They are working diligently on this and they have their A-Team on it.&#8221;

McCann said Mounties have not interviewed Vader again since when he was initially arrested and are waiting on further evidence, including forensic testing results.

Regarding the trust fund, which has been set up at TD Canada Trust under the name &#8220;Bret McCann in Trust,&#8221; he said the money could be used for further searches, a reward or the hiring of private investigators.

In a press release, the family said after their parents are found, any remaining funds would be donated to charity.

Police have conducted another search near a campground in the Edson area, as part of their investigation into the disappearance of Lyle and Marie McCann.

Yellow tape now surrounds the bush in the area near the Minnow Lake campground. The missing couple's burnt-out motor home was found at a remote site in the campground shortly after they were reported missing.

Tuesday afternoon, Brett McCann visited the area near where RCMP have been searching in his quest to learn more about the area in the event family members are allowed to proceed with their own search.

Also: A trust fund has been set up for anyone interested in making a donation to help with a future search. It is set up at TD Canada Trust under the name "Bret McCann in trust".

ITA. I think they are very near the RV.

IMO he showered and ate inside the RV before he set it on fire.


Praying they are found.

I wonder what has lead LE back to this area? A new tip? Something Vader has said? Something the forensic testing proved?

McCann family may launch private ground search
By RICHARD LIEBRECHT, EDMONTON SUN
Last Updated: August 11, 2010 5:47pm

The McCann family is laying the groundwork for a private search of the Edson region as their parents' missing persons case drags on.

Bret McCann and siblings met with about 30 people in Edson and area Tuesday afternoon. Some attended a large meeting, others were contacted individually.

"We met with people familiar with the area," said McCann. "We're just trying to network, establish contacts for the next stage if (a private search) ever does happen.

"It shows we're exploring all possible avenues and will leave no stones unturned."

Lyle and Marie McCann have been missing for more than a month.

RCMP continue to plug away at the case. Investigators are still based in Edson, said Doris Stapleton, RCMP spokeswoman.

Cops have told the McCanns to hold off on searching for their parents themselves.
