The search was expanded to all of B.C. and into much of the Northwest Territories and the Yukon.

Alberta RCMP said late Friday afternoon that the alert was cancelled as “there’s no reasonable expectations the public, in Alberta, will be able to action the instructions in the alert.”

They did not provide details or answer phone calls seeking clarification.

Lanakai is described as white and having a slight build, light brown hair and brown eyes.

Police were initially looking for a black 2015 Toyota Tundra, but it was found by officers.

RCMP said it’s believed the couple changed vehicles and are driving a 2006 red Ford F350, with Alberta licence plate CXW8820.

They said people with information should call 911 and not approach the vehicle or suspects.
