Canadian police scale back search for two children missing in woods for six days

Nearly a week after two young children went missing in rural Nova Scotia, Canadian police say they are beginning to scale back search efforts given the “low” odds the children are still alive – and that they are not ruling out the possibility of foul play. The siblings were reported missing on 2 May, when police received a frantic phone call from the family. And despite a boot print that pushed search teams in one direction, police said there is very little evidence suggesting the children are in the forest. He also told police the children had not been in school in the days prior to their disappearance. He told CTV Atlantic that he had been conducting his own search since the children went missing.
