Saint-Pierre

There is a French psychologist

who consulted on the original murders, Dr. Théo Fouchard.

If you see anything, anything at all

that seems off...

come to me.

You two made wonderful kids.

I’m delighted to be able to co-parent with you.

Catch us up.

There is a missing student from St. John’s?

Henry Sands.

The kids are here on a cultural exchange.

Our students were in Newfoundland

a couple months ago.

How long has he been missing?

Ah, give or take 45 minutes?

According to the tour guide Lauriane, Henry was nearby,

then poof, he disappeared.

The group searched the immediate surroundings,

the lab buildings, the bathrooms,

the nearby trails... no sign of him.

Here’s the list of attendees.

All are accounted for except for Henry’s dad, Carlos Sands.

When the students and chaperones split up to search,

Carlos ran off alone. He hasn’t returned since.

I gave them explicit instructions

to stay with a buddy. It can be very dangerous here.

Well, the father, Carlos,

he’s probably out there looking for his kid.

That’s what I’d do regardless of any instructions.

- Hey, Claire! - Stay away from the edge!

Those cliffs are pretty treacherous.

Easy to make a misstep.

Renuf, get the Coast Guard out there

while our officers widen the search everywhere.

-Well, find out anything you can on the father,

see if there’s anything there.

And everyone, everyone here needs to be questioned.

No detail is too small.

You know as well as I do,

every hour this child is still missing...

The odds of him still being alive drop dramatically.

Our officers haven’t found any trace

of Henry or his father.

La brigade canine est en route.

-That the canine unit? -Yeah.

-Excuse me, why aren’t you guys doing anything?

A child is missing!

Mom!

Claire, honey, not now, please.

-We appreciate your concern, ma’am,

but we know what we’re doing.

We have a protocol and we intend to follow it.

-Let’s try and keep our heads here.

She’s right.

When did you first realize that Henry was missing?

-We were about to head into the lab and I did a head count

and I was missing one. Henry.

Carlos, Henry’s father,

was barely allowed in past Saint-Pierre customs.

-Sorry, why... why was that?

Carlos has a criminal record.

In case you haven’t noticed, he’s gone now too.

-Wait, are you suggesting Carlos kidnapped his own son?

Claire, right?

Was, uh, Henry a friend of yours?

Not really.

-Well, I’m sure, like all of us,

you’re looking forward to him being found.

-The police dog needs something of Henry’s to pick up his scent

to help find him.

-His jacket. It’s on the bus.

I told him he’d be cold, but he didn’t believe me.

Let’s go get the coat, okay?

Tour guide is something else.

-She’s implying that Carlos, the father, he kidnapped Henry.

Parental abductions...

-They make up a large portion of missing child cases.

-Father’s full name is Carlos Sands.

He’s a social worker.

Lives in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Criminal record?

-Marijuana trafficking charge in Canada.

It’s over a decade old, but more recently,

Carlos and his partner Edwin filed for divorce.

-Get the husband, Edwin, on the phone, ASAP.

Criminal record...

could really make a custody battle tricky.

Sometimes the most obvious answer

is the correct one.

We have a child and a father missing...

Going to treat this as a parental abduction.

The Marine Lab has cameras.

Patty’s grabbing footage.

She’ll see if there’s anything of Henry, his father,

or anyone else.

I mean, over 70% of missing children cases

turn out to be runaways.

Well, that would be optimal.

Trouble in a marriage, you know,

can really have an effect on a kid.

Lord knows I wanted to disappear

when I was Henry’s age.

We can call an " Alerte Enlèvement ,"

your Amber Alert,

until we know for certain Henry was forcibly taken.

Well, his photo’s out there.

We’ve got all the official ports of entry, exits,

they’re on high alert.

The real question is, what if whoever took Henry

has no intention of leaving Saint-Pierre?

Edwin, pick up the phone! It’s important!

Our son is missing! Call me back right away!

Mr. Sands? We’ve been looking everywhere for you.

-I-I got a little disoriented searching for my son.

Have you found him?

-We’ve got search parties all throughout the area

looking for him.

Please don’t leave again.

I’m sorry, you want me to stay put?

We understand the instinct,

but while you were out here disoriented,

we were wasting valuable resources looking for you

when we should have been focused on Henry.

When did you last see your son?

Uh, we were listening to the tour and I got distracted.

I was too busy taking photos.

I wasn’t paying attention.

- Right. - Does Henry have a cell phone?

-I-I tried calling. It just rang and then it went dead.

And I can’t get a hold of my partner Edwin

back in St. John’s.

-Our people haven’t been able to get him either.

Is Edwin often unreachable?

He has a restaurant that keeps him very busy.

He’s not great at responding at the best of times.

- Tell us about Henry. - Anything can be helpful.

He’s a normal 14-year-old.

He’s moody, funny.

He sleeps too much, he games too much.

He’s just...

he’s the perfect boy, and he’s out there,

and he’s probably scared to death.

Can you think of any reason

that may have caused Henry to run away?

- Are you...? - No, that’s ridiculous.

-It’s an unpleasant question, for sure,

but it’s definitely not ridiculous.

We know you and Edwin are going through a divorce.

- Yes, but... - no, it’s not like that.

-Does he know anyone in Saint-Pierre?

-Somewhere he might go? -No.

Has he ever done anything like this before?

-Look, Henry is lost, okay? Do your jobs.

Get your choppers and whatever and find my son!

- What’s going on? - The K9 team found this.

The strap is ripped at the seam.

Is that blood?

That is Henry’s backpack.

Henry...

His meds.

Okay, if this is his blood--

Henry is a haemophiliac.

If he’s bleeding... Oh my God.

Aminocaproic acid. It helps with blood clotting.

How serious is the condition?

If Henry has hemophilia,

something as simple as a nosebleed could be fatal.

We’ve taken samples of the blood found on the bag

to test to see if it’s even Henry’s.

It’s been nearly two hours since Henry was noticed missing,

and he’s potentially injured.

-The bag was found a good ways away from the cliff’s edge,

which likely rules out the chance

that he slipped in the ocean.

Parents Carlos and Edwin Sands...

Edwin is still unreachable.

And what do we know about the couple’s divorce?

Was it messy?

-Show me a divorce that’s not messy.

We got a hit.

We ran an image search through the Marine Lab security footage

using a selfie of Henry’s.

Look.

Henry’s being chased.

-Why would he be running away that fast from his father?

That’s not Carlos.

The clothing is all wrong,

and, uh, different build too.

Patty, do you mind rewinding it a little bit

before the guy in the hoodie enters the frame?

Look at smile on Henry’s face.

Like he knows who he’s talking to.

Yeah.

Yeah, we don’t have an angle that catches the person’s face.

-Yeah, but based on this, we now know

we’re dealing with a kidnapping.

Henry Sands was wearing a yellow hoodie,

black T-shirt, blue jeans, and size 7 skater shoes.

We have good reason to believe he’s on foot,

likely within a 5-kilometre radius.
