Calgary police say they have narrowed the focus of potential suspects but they haven’t specifically identified anyone yet in the case of an abducted Calgary girl and her slain mother.
“We don’t have anyone specifically identified but we have been able to narrow the focus,” Insp. Don Coleman said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
Sara Baillie, 34, was found dead about 8:30 p.m. Monday after police were called to her home in the 1000 block of Panamount Blvd. N.W. by relatives worried that she hadn’t shown up for work. An Amber Alert was issued early Tuesday for her missing five-year-old daughter, Taliyah Marsman.
Police released new images from surveillance video Wednesday afternoon, saying they want to talk to a family seen interacting with the mother and daughter at a Dairy Queen restaurant on Sunday.
The CCTV footage shows them at the restaurant at 66 Sandarac Dr. N.W. around 5:30 p.m. Sunday.

Witnesses reported seeing a young girl matching the description of five-year-old Taliyah Marsman — the subject of an Amber Alert — in the company of a stocky black man, Calgary police said releasing new surveillance footage.
The girl seen by witnesses was wearing red or pink boots with white polka dots and was carrying a reddish-coloured suitcase, Calgary police said Wednesday afternoon.
Taliyah’s mother, 34-year-old Sara Baillie, was found dead about 8:30 p.m. Monday after police were called to her home in the 1000 block of Panamount Blvd. N.W.
Family members called police after they couldn’t contact Baillie and her death has been ruled a homicide.

The footage shows Baillie speaking with another family and police would like to talk to them.
