Amber Alert investigation shifts toward Okanagan and Kootenays

Alberta RCMP investigators say they are following several possible movements in their search for two missing children believed to be travelling with two adults.

Police said Lanakai Morrison and Karl Morrison are believed to be with the children’s mother, Krista Morrison and Karl’s father, Daniel Ludwig, who are wanted on allegations of abduction in contravention of a custody or parenting order.

Investigators said there were indications the group had been in the Okanagan Valley near Vernon, B.C., and may have been travelling east toward the Kootenays. Police said they are highly mobile and could now be anywhere in northern B.C., Yukon or Alberta.

Police believe the group was last travelling in either a red 2006 Ford F-350 pickup truck with a lift kit and oversized tires or a motorhome.
