By 2014 Alvin and Kathy had sold their house and were preparing to move to Edmonton and spend winters in a condo in Mexico. They held a three-day estate sale from 27 to 29 June 2014. On the Sunday night Kathy's daughter Jen O'Brien was visiting with her five-year-old son Nathan and her baby Max. The baby would not settle, so at about 10.45pm Jen went home with him, leaving Nathan asleep in bed beside Kathy.

Sometime in the night an intruder disabled the lock on the house and the internet router. There was blood on the walls, bloody drag marks, and a smear on a closet door that looked like it had been made by a smaller hand. At ten the next morning Jen came back for Nathan and found the house empty. She called her husband, saying her family had been murdered and the bodies taken, then called the police. The blood suggested the three had been taken alive rather than killed there. An amber alert was issued, the longest in Canadian history.

The investigation was enormous, drawing in the RCMP, the Canada Border Service Agency, Passport Canada, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, US Homeland Security and Mexican officials because of the Mexico condo. details of the account remain covered until revealed the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it this part of the story is covered for now details of the account remain covered until revealed the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it this part of the story is covered for now

Aerial survey photographs taken at 9.23am on 1 July, by chance, showed three bodies face down by the sheds; twenty-six hours later they were gone. details of the account remain covered until revealed
