The dense, forested terrain southwest of Quebec City is likely complicating the search for the father of two girls who were found dead after becoming subjects of an Amber Alert.
Francois Dore, a retired Quebec police officer with 33 years experience, said the rugged forest in the area offers plenty of hiding spots for someone looking to evade authorities.
Steven Sadler, a retired Toronto police officer, says the police appear to have "a lot of ground to cover." Provincial police spokeswoman Sgt. Ann Mathieu has said the girls and their father are believed to have been in a serious crash on Highway 20 in St-Apollinaire Wednesday evening around 9:30 p.m.
"You know that someone who is healthy, someone who is mobile, can easily move by walking several kilometres a day," she told reporters. "We also have to consider that he could have found a means of transport, something as simple as a bicycle."
