In total, more than 700 addresses, outbuildings, chalets and other places in the region were searched in order to find any information allowing them to get their hands on the father of deceased little girls.

Recall that clues discovered Wednesday evening suggested to the Sûreté du Québec that Martin Carpentier had restocked in a trailer in the research sector, at some point in his flight. He could have been tempted to do it again, hence the meticulous research of the surrounding buildings afterwards, explained the sergeant of the provincial organization Ann Mathieu in the last days.

“The Sûreté du Québec is aware that concerns may remain and reiterates its commitment to ensure the safety of all, and its determination to find Martin Carpentier”, concludes the SQ in its press release, wanting to be reassuring.

The authorities did not wish to comment unduly on this new stage in the investigation.
