The foundation that helped find two Winnipeg children allegedly kidnapped by their father four years ago has released photos of the house where they were kept.
The Find Foundation released the photos Wednesday to show the conditions Abby and Dominic Maryk were kept in in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Police allege Maryk abducted his children during a court-ordered visit on Aug. 16, 2008, and moved around frequently to avoid detection. He lived for a while in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, before moving to Guadalajara. Police allege he kept the kids inside the home during the day – forbidding them from going to school, playing with other kids or seeing a physician.
Police suspected the kids were in Mexico and had distributed Crime Stoppers-style videos to Mexican media outlets, one of which aired the videos earlier this month. Last Thursday, Interpol received a tip from someone who recognized the children, Winnipeg police said.
Authorities are now trying to extradite Maryk, 40, and Robert Neil Groen, 41, from Mexico on child abduction charges. Police have also issued a Canada-wide warrant for Cody John McKay, 23, who is alleged to have helped in the abduction.
