Prince George, B.C. – A little two-year-old girl and her father who were murdered in Alberta earlier this month will be remembered in Quesnel tomorrow.

27-year-old Terry Blanchette’s body was found in his home in Blairmore, Alberta the morning of September 14^th.  A Few hours later an Amber Alert was issued for
 his daughter, Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette.  The investigation led police to take a 22-year-old man in for questioning in the case and, on the afternoon of September 15^th, Hailey’s body was found in a rural area near Blairmore.

The suspect, Derek Saretzky, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths and one count of indignity to a body in relation to the girl’s death.

Hailey’s great grandmother, Brenda Dunbar, is a resident of Quesnel and she, along with a group known as Bikers Against Child Abuse, have organized a balloon release memorial in honour of the girl and her father.

Anyone wishing to show their support is asked to bring a candle, and a balloon if you’d like, to Lebourdais Park in Quesnel at 2:30 Sunday afternoon.  Family and friends will be releasing pink and white balloons at 3:30pm.
