For four days, this Whitby six-year-old was unaccounted for until she was discovered with a man who wasn’t her father. Things changed dramatically when Durham Regional Police released images of the girl and a male “associate” of the family named Blair Hamilton, aged 48.
“Within minutes of DRPS sharing the pictures and names, the officer was driving at Southdown Rd. and Bonnymede Dr. in Mississauga when she did a double take,” said a police source close to the investigation. “She had just received the bulletin moments before and noticed something that seemed off.”
