[upbeat music] Twizzlers keep the fun going. Yeah, I know. I just stopped whatever you were listening to to tell you that Twizzlers keep the fun going. Well, irony isn't my forte, but twisty, chewy, yummy Twizzlers sure is. So think of Twizzlers as a little palate cleanser for whatever's queued up, which by the way, should be coming very soon, like any second now. Okay, Twizzlers, time to keep the fun going.

A suspect in the disappearance of a young Calgary mother and her little girl was questioned for 24 hours, but police didn't have enough evidence to charge him. Robert Leeming was released. Not only was there no sign of Jasmine Lovett or Aliyah Sanderson, all of the footprints of life had stopped 10 days earlier. As police raced against the clock hoping they would be found safe, growing evidence showed that was unlikely.
