   Shit.  The police obviously know something that they've not revealed to   
   the media.  And they've re-arrested the guy who they termed 'a person of   
   interest'.   
   These multiple murders of family members are probably the worst kind of   
   murders.  And likely over an amount of money that most would consider minor.   
   What a loss.

   Nathan O'Brien, grandparents were murdered, Calgary police say   
      
   Ambert Alert lifted, but bodies of 5-year-old boy, grandparents Alvin   
   and Kathy Liknes not found   
      
      
   Calgary police are planning to lay murder charges in the case of a   
   missing Calgary couple and their grandson.   
      
   Nathan O'Brien, 5, and his grandparents Alvin and Kathy Liknes have been   
   missing since June 29.   
      
   Calgary police announced this morning that the Amber Alert issued after   
   their disappearance has been discontinued.   
      
      
   Douglas Garland   
      
   Douglas Garland is back in police custody after being released on bail   
   on Friday. Calgary police call him a 'person of interest' in the case of   
   a missing Calgary boy and his grandparents. He faces charges unrelated   
   to the disappearance. (Calgary Herald)   
      
   Police Chief Rick Hanson indicated that police believe the trio of   
   family members are dead even though their bodies have not been found.   
      
   He said first-degree murder charges will be laid in the deaths of the   
   grandparents, and a second-degree murder charge will be laid in the   
   death of five-year-old Nathan.   
      
   "We are putting a very complex case before the courts," said Hanson,   
   adding police are very confident with the evidence.   
      
   "There is no single piece of evidence that is what people would like to   
   think is the smoking gun."   
      
   Police said they will not name the suspect in custody until charges are   
   laid, but CBC learned earlier today that Douglas Garland — who had   
   previously been named as a person of interest in the disappearance of   
   the three family members  — is back in police custody.   
      
   Sources close to the investigation say Garland was taken into police   
   custody in connection with the missing persons case this morning.   
      
   The 54-year-old was staying at a motel in Airdrie, just north of   
   Calgary, after being released on bail on unrelated charges on Friday.   
   'Difficult to maintain optimism'   
      
   Calgary Police Chief Rick Hanson says first- and second-degree murder   
   charges are being filed in connection with the disappearance of Nathan   
   O'Brien and his grandparents at a news conference in Calgary, Alta.,   
   on July 14.   
      
   Hanson said that police offer their condolences to the family.   
      
   "There's always a glimmer of hope and unfortunately with the laying of   
   the charges we've taken that away from the family," said Hanson.   
   "They're devastated."   
      
   Police said after multiple searches they have ended their investigation   
   at the Parkhill home where the three Calgary family members were last seen.   
      
   The home belongs to Kathy and Alvin Liknes.   
      
   "There are still many questions left to be answered, however, due to   
   charges before the courts, I can't release those details and the   
   investigation continues," said Hanson.   
      
   Police said there was evidence a violent crime occurred in the southwest   
   Calgary home.   
      
   The search for evidence will continue this week at the Spyhill landfill   
   in Calgary, where investigators are still sifting through mounds of garbage.   
      
   Police will also continue to search an acreage in Airdrie that belongs   
   to Garland's parents.
