In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: On June 30, 2014, Jennifer O’Brien went to her parents Alvin and Kathy Liknes’ home, in Calgary, Canada, to pick up her son Nathan from a sleepover. Instead of finding her cheerful son and her loving parents, she discovered a bloodbath and no sign of her family.
Police quickly arrived at the scene and began investigating, searching high and low for Alvin, Kathy, and Nathan, but they were nowhere to be found.
After reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance footage, authorities noticed a distinctive-looking pickup truck on the grandparents’ street the night of their disappearance. A tip from the truck owner’s sister gave police a key suspect: Douglas Garland. They searched Garland’s home and didn’t find any sign of the missing family members, but some discoveries raised eyebrows. Detectives found a burn barrel filled with ash, as well as books about poisoning people and a box of weapons.
Investigators looked through the burn barrel and found a child’s tooth. Surveillance footage also revealed Douglas buying what appeared to be saws.
Police arrested Douglas outside his home and charged him with three counts of murder. He pleaded not guilty. Nathan, Alvin, and Kathy’s DNA was found on some murder weapons at Douglas’ house, but their bodies were still never found.
In 2017, a jury found Douglas guilty of all three murder charges, and he was sentenced to three life terms in prison with the possibility of parole after 75 years. He would be 129 years old by the time he could go up for parole.
In 2020, he appealed the sentence, which his attorneys called “excessive and harsh,” but in 2021, the Alberta Court of Appeals upheld the sentence.
Now, let’s take a look back at the brutal killings of a young boy and his grandparents who were on the cusp of a new chapter in their own lives.
Those are some super strong parents they are still together after that kind of loss 💯❤🙏☑️R.I.P.✝️
I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to this family and friends I am really! So very sorry for your losses 😢💔
Heartbreaking still! RIP🙏
Marc did that Putnam boys
He tried to use a receprecating saw and tried to catch me off guard he kept looking at me to check if I was watching and he'd pickup the weapon I'd look at him and then he'd set it down he kept trying to attack me when I wasn't looking like the weeping angels don't blink and Aubrey stole my ssi social security accounts to steal my disability backpay and then he locked me outdoors to murder me after many prior attempts on my life he poisoned my food broke my ankles and over 150 people raped me at his house at Aubrey's and he attempted murdering and dumping me out in the tall grass over on west continental st before it turns tords the dispensary from south west where he murdered and dumped other people the service construction companies helped dragged the body's from the roadside or they murdered and loaded the body's on the service company trucks with the yellow service sign on the sides and Aubrey used to make me walk with him behind the loseroyoce neighborhood by the river to walk the dog and at the area behind oriellys where they slid the body's down the embankment to the dry river last year there was a fresh grave every 5 feet each with 4 pairs of heel drag marks in the river sand for hundreds of yards some areas they dumped very large branches over to prevent the scavangers from digging up the body's and under the bridge by Walmart the atvs used to drag the murder victims on the back of the atvs like deer to the river where they buried them if they didn't murder them before burying them they tranquilized them and buried them alive while unconcious
Putnam boys
The gentiles
There was a freshly dug grave every 5 feet each with 4 heel print drag marks last monsoon season
The rivers here had freshly dug graves and 4 pairs of heel prints to each grave behind big 5 sporting goods where they slid the body's down the embankment and where the heel print tracks started the same as Sweeney Todd
They treated us like insects it was a child sacrifice trafficker cult from sanberdino it was the only orphanage in the entire town
That's why they kept the aluminum barrel of keychains with the names of the places they sex trafficked me and 350 other foster kids and ambrose the other kids were raped and burned in burn barrels that's why they had the aluminum barrel of keychains

Night time stories and Nathan talking about heaven omg n I feel so bad and just mad at that evil spirited person who could do such a thing terrible!
I often have to just listen to these kinds of things without looking at the photos or videos, because it upsets me so much for the children and the families. I go back later when I have been able to think about it.
One million dollars to teach the kids how to play hockey!?!
When you hurt someone years before and you forget about it..
Hhmmm
So sad
