EDMONTON — RCMP say law enforcement officials on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border are on "high alert" for an escaped Arizona inmate and his suspected accomplice.
The fresh warning follows word that federal authorities south of the border appear baffled as to the whereabouts of John McCluskey and Casslyn Welch.
The search for the couple abruptly turned from Montana to Arkansas on Wednesday when a pair matching their description robbed a beauty salon in the town of Gentry.
However, the owner of the salon was shown pictures of the fugitives and is certain they were not the couple who robbed her business.
RCMP issued fresh news releases Thursday across Western Canada asking for the public's help finding the pair.
Sgt. Tim Taniguchi says they may have crossed the border undetected.
"While there's no information to confirm that these two fugitives have entered Canada, their current whereabouts are unknown," Taniguchi said.
