'If he's still there, he's probably dead': A former RCMP deputy commissioner's view on police ending their search for Martin Carpentier in a densely wooded area
, it is unlikely that Carpentier would have been able to survive more than a week in the forested area.
This does not mean that the search is over. Instead, police are going to be looking at new leads while keeping public safety in mind, according to German. An Amber Alert was issued the following day for Norah and Romy, aged 11 and 6. The girls were found dead July 11,"Since July 8, the date on which we found Martin Carpentier's damaged vehicle, we have received, processed, validated and analyzed more than 1,000 reports," police said.
German said it is "not unlike what we saw last summer" with the nation-wide manhunt for B.C. murder suspects Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod.
