WELDON, Sask. — A former Mountie says the vast open spaces of the Prairies could complicate the manhunt for one of the suspects in Sunday's deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan.
"This is a huge area, and there's a whole lot of nothing," said retired RCMP officer Sherry Benson-Podolchuk."There's a lot of places people can hide."
"If something terrible happens in a city, they'd create a perimeter close to the crime scene, but then also they would go out, out, out and guard all exits to the city," Benson-Podolchuk said."This case is a little different because they have all those crime scenes." Other variables are that they could have swapped vehicles, someone could be helping them hide out or they could have separated, she said.
Parole documents show Myles Sanderson has a nearly two-decade long criminal record and a propensity for violence when intoxicated.
