Hey there, time traveller!

Two men who were arrested and questioned in connection with the disappearance of 24-year-old Amber-Lynn McFarland have been released without being charged.
Mounties arrested McFarland’s ex-boyfriend, 39-year-old Kelly Garrioch, and his friend 40-year-old Graham Saxon, both of Portage la Prairie, last week.
Sources said the two were in surveillance video taken of McFarland at a hotel beer vendor in a Portage hotel early October 19, 2008.
Police released the surveillance video of two men and McFarland to solicit tips but the men’s faces were blurred out.
The McFarland family has waged a search for the identical twin but she has never been located.
A friend and relative said Garrioch told them last fall McFarland went to his house from a hotel bar where she had gone with friends.
However, they said he told them she left his house when she was picked up by an unknown person.
McFarland’s car was later found where she had left it and her family began searching for her.
Police said last month they were treating McFarland’s death as a homicide investigation.
Officers also conducted a search of Garrioch’s former home last month.
They had previously searched the residence following McFarland’s disappearance.
Police said last week a search warrant was also conducted at Saxon’s Portage home after he was arrested last Wednesday.
Garrioch told the Free Press last week that he feels the Mounties have unfairly targeted him in the homicide investigation and that he’s done nothing to his ex-girlfriend. As a result of police scrutiny, he said he has suffered financial hardship.
Hours after that interview, Mounties arrested him.
