Border Deaths

They got the trafficker who dumped those people out in the worst conditions ever. The question in my mind is why were these people so desperate to get out of Kanuckistan?

Did they ??? actually catch the trafficker that dumped those four off on the Canadian side???

I only heard that the guy on the U.S. side was arrested,(the blk dude from Florida). My understanding is that they didn't have any leads on the traffickers that left them at the boarder to walk south into the states, and meet up with the guy in the van(that was arrested). Maybe I missed an update.

For sure Beaverdam, I assumed and really I shouldn’t have. I guess because he had the baby supplies, I assumed the baby had been there, in his van. I concede.

I believe one illegal that made it to the van was caring the bag for the (family of four) left behind in Canada.

Will be interesting if the RCMP or CSIS will ever track anyone down in this case.

That is correct, the authorities realized there were others out in the open as there were items for a baby in the van.

They need to find out who dropped the four family members on that gravel road.

It's just so hard to grasp why they would do this on one of the most miserable nights of the winter in southern Manitoba.

Very sad for the family, especially when the parents realized their two children were going to die.

Canadian authorities believe the deaths of four Indian nationals found steps away from the Canada-US border are connected to a human smuggling scheme.
Jagdish Patel, 39, Vaishailben Patel, 37, and their children Vihangi, 11, and Dharkmik, 3, died from exposure due to the frigid cold in Manitoba, Canada.
Temperatures dropped to -35C (-31F) on the night the Patel family attempted to cross into the US on foot.
The family was found in a field just north of the border on 19 January.
Their identities were announced by Canada's High Commission of India and later confirmed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
The family hailed from Dingucha, a village in Gujarat in the district of Gandhinagar, where neighbours who spoke to the BBC said the Patels were known to have travelled to Canada about ten days ago on visitor visas.
According to a member of the village council, who did not want to be named, family members there contacted Indian authorities after the travelling Patels became unreachable five days ago.
"We thought that, this would help, as everyone here feared that they might have been in trouble and so we decided to write to the Ministry of External Affairs," the person told BBC Gujarati.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, RCMP superintendent Rob Hill said the Patel family first arrived in Canada on 12 January, on a flight to Toronto. From there, they made their way west to the province of Manitoba, before travelling to Emerson - a border town - on or around 18 January. Their bodies were found the next night.
No abandoned vehicle was found near the Canada-US border in Emerson, suggesting that someone drove the Patel family to a drop-off point before they began their journey on foot.

Dingucha residents who spoke to BBC Gujarati said that there is extensive cultural pressure among villagers to forge ties abroad, and many had a sophisticated understanding of foreign visa travel requirements.
The RCMP would not comment on whether the Patels' case was connected to a group of seven other Indian nationals also found by border agents on the evening of 19 January. Steve Shand, a 47-year-old Florida resident, has been charged with human smuggling after authorities found him driving a 15-person van along the border, on the same night the Patels were found. Mr Shand had two Indian nationals as passengers in his car, and cases of food and water in his boot.
The deaths of the Patel family have rocked the Indian community in Manitoba."...
