The disappearance of Nathan O'Brien, Kathryn Liknes and Alvin Liknes occurred on June 29, 2014. Five-year-old Nathan O'Brien and his grandparents, Kathryn and Alvin Liknes, disappeared from the grandparents' Calgary, Alberta home after what police called a "violent incident."[1] An amber alert was issued. This alert was lifted on July 14, 2014 after the arrest of a person in relation to the disappearance.[2] Later on July 14, 2014, police state that they believe O'Brien and the Likneses were murdered, but they did not recover their bodies.[3] Douglas Garland was charged with two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of the Likneses and a second-degree murder charge for allegedly killing O'Brien.[3][4]
