A former Mountie says the vast open spaces of the Prairies could complicate the manhunt for one of the suspects in Sunday’s deadly stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan.

“This is a huge area, and there’s a whole lot of nothing,” said retired RCMP officer Sherry Benson-Podolchuk. “There’s a lot of places people can hide.”
