Well now, you find a luxury mobile home burned in the remote woods. You don't find the 78 year old law-abiding owners anywhere nearby. You don't find them at their real home but that doesn't alarm you enough to even talk to the neighbors who were aware of their travel route and schedule. You fail to make any inquiries concerning the missing tow-car that was normally at the rear bumper of the mobile home despite having all the registration information. And when five days later you issue a plea to the public for information: you fail to mention the missing car and only mention the expensive mobile home in the flyer despite your knowledge that it was already a burned-out hulk in the remote forest.
RCMP? I think the Mounties trusty sled-dogs could have done a better job on this case than those horsemen did!

It is fortunate that the couple who walked into an RCMP station and gave information as to the SUV stolen from the murdered RV-owners heard the TV requests that they return for further questioning. The police officer who had failed to take their names and phone number was placed on a brief administrative leave.
An arrest has now been made in this case but not yet for the couple's murder.
In addition to the two thousand dollar CrimeStoppers reward there is a reward fund for this case that is currently at 21,000 dollars and which is likely to be increased.
Of course the likelihood of a reward increase may stifle prompt disclosure, but this is always a risk.
The case remains active but it is hard for the RCMP to recover from their initial mistakes.
Property owned by a friend of the only suspect yet arrested in this case was recently searched by the RCMP. Its only a few minutes from the site where the stolen SUV was spotted on July 16th. Since the elderly couple who owned the RV were most likely killed on July 5th, the interim locations of the stolen SUV are of some interest, but I can't see someone driving the corpses around that long prior to disposal.
