The study by Brian Corbett, an analyst with the inquiry, compares images of potential escape routes the RCMP viewed on Google Earth with what they could have seen through Pictometry -- the trade name at the time for a program that uses high-resolution aerial images.
However, Corbett found Pictometry "makes it more apparent that these are driveable roads," while the Google Earth image is "unclear." The inquiry has said that sometime between 10:41 p.m. and 10:45 p.m., the killer slipped away onto Highway 2 and drove to an industrial park in Debert, N.S., before killing nine more people on April 19. According to inquiry documents, the killer escaped on a dirt road next to a blueberry field at the southern end of Portapique, reaching a U-shaped loop that connected with the highway east of where Colford was stationed.
"I was trying to get the passwords and everything to work, I could not," she said, adding that a "millennial techie guy" in her office also couldn't solve the issue. "Those were the critical moments to have been able to lock down Portapique and secure the containment," Miller said of the initial period when the killer was still in the rural, wooded area.
Staff Sgt. Steve Halliday, another supervisor of the RCMP response, has testified that when he came on duty, "there was a belief" the main road was the only way out.

An inside account of what 911 call takers experienced during N.S. mass shooting | CBC NewsOne of the people operating the 911 call centre the night of April 18, 2020, has provided a glimpse into what it was like when people from Portapique, N.S., began calling to report gunshots, murders and fires. Sad. A sick and evil person who has access to firearms is a threat to all. My first thought was psychopath dude's girlfriend HAD to know what was going on - she was remiss by not going to authorities. 'a glimpse into what it was like', I'm not sure I understand who would be 'that person' who was *doing their job* with 911 calls?
