The two children were not returned to their father – who has primary custody – on July 17 after a planned camping vacation with their mother near Kelowna. The Amber Alert was issued on July 19.

The Amber Alert was issued across BC back on July 19 after  8-year-old Aurora and 10-year-old Joshuah Bolton were not returned to their father after a scheduled visit with their mother.

No word yet on the status of Verity Bolton, the mother, as well as her boyfriend and her 74-year old father, who has dementia, and may have been a victim, as part of the affair.
