Two police officers who spent time in the home of the boy's grandparents — Kathy, 53, and Alvin Liknes, 66 — after they were reported missing, testified at Douglas Garland's triple murder trial on Wednesday. "We were to search the house to see if we could locate Nathan O'Brien who may be hiding," he testified. Garland is connected to the Liknes family through his sister Patti, who was in a common-law relationship with Alvin Liknes's son, Allen. As the years went on he seemed to get more bitter about it," sister Patti Garland told court. (Court evidence/CBC)Prosecutor Vicki Faulkner said in her opening statement Monday that Douglas Garland "methodically and obsessively" researched Alvin and Kathy Liknes.
