The children were last seen with their father near the Manning Town Centre in Edmonton. Initial investigations recovered MacDermid’s vehicle and cell phone within Canada, but no traces of the individuals were found. The children’s mother, Edilenia López Aquino, expressed concern that MacDermid might have traveled to the Dominican Republic due to his business ties in Puerto Plata. Following the investigation, the Edmonton Police Service issued a Canada-wide warrant for MacDermid on two counts of abduction in contravention of a custody order.
