SAINT-APOLLINAIRE, Que. — The bodies of two girls who were the subject of an Amber Alert were found in a suburb of Quebec City on Saturday, in what Premier Francois Legault is describing as a “national tragedy.”
“Like all Quebecers, I am devastated, without words. Losing two children, what we hold most dear in life, is incomprehensible,” Legault said on Twitter. “It is a national tragedy.”He said that all of Quebec is grieving with Norah and Romy’s loved ones. The girls had been missing since late Wednesday. Their disappearance has gripped people across the province who had hoped they would be found safe.
Investigators said the car was heading east on the highway when it skidded into the median, flipped over and landed on the shoulder on the opposite side of the highway.An Amber Alert was issued for the girls Thursday afternoon, and an extensive police search began in the rural area south of Quebec City.
