Save the kids or save the ex-con?

On that terrible night in Portapique, the RCMP faced what on the surface, at least, seemed like a no-brainer of a situation: rescue four children hiding in a basement after their parents had been murdered by Gabriel Wortman, or save a convicted drug trafficker with ties to a Mexican drug cartel and his parents. Save the kids or save the con. An easy choice, you’d think.
Yet, the RCMP chose to evacuate convicted drug trafficker Peter Griffon and his parents, Alan and Joanne Griffon, an hour or so before attending to the children. The cavalry showed up at the Griffon house at 4 Faris Lane sometime around midnight.
Meanwhile, since 10:01 p.m. on April 18, four terrified children, two aged 12 and two aged 10, had been on the line with a 911 operator for about two hours, hunkered in the basement of slain school-teacher Lisa McCully’s house at 135 Orchard Beach Drive. Some half a kilometre away from the Griffon residence, as the crow flies...
...Tammy Oliver-McCreadie, the sister of Jolene Oliver, recently was able to gain access to her brother-in-law Aaron Tuck’s cell phone. To her astonishment she found a text from RCMP Constable Wayne (Skipper) Bent to Aaron. It was sent at 1:15 p.m. that Sunday. The Oliver family had been frantically calling the RCMP throughout that day because they couldn’t reach their family members. The RCMP repeatedly told them they were checking. But they hadn’t been. Not in person, anyway.
The text to Aaron Tuck read: “This is Cst. Bent with the RCMP. Looking for Aaron Tuck to call me ASAP. Important. Thank you.”
The three Tucks couldn’t answer Skipper Bent’s text for obvious reasons.
Their bodies weren’t found until near 6 p.m. that Sunday, while the Olivers kept calling the RCMP and being stalled by Bent and the new officer in charge Corp. Gerard Rose-Berthiaume.
“I have really no idea why in the %#@& would they text and not walk down the road and check them,” Oliver-McCurdie wrote in a message to Frank.
“The phones were in the house. Aaron’s was plugged in charging.”
That Saturday night and well into the day on Sunday, the RCMP seemed obsessed with keeping regular members away from nine crime scenes on the lower half of Portapique Beach Road, even after the threat had been neutralized.
Nobody bothered to do a wellness check on the Tucks, for one small example, until seven hours after Gabriel Wortman’s rampage was finally brought to an end in Enfield...
