According to Pravda-West, the story has now... contrary to previous accounts... evolved to state that the father was so incapacitated by the cold... he couldn't speak for eight hours...
"Because of his injuries, Christopher wasn't able to speak until about eight hours later. When he did speak to investigators at around 1:30 p.m., he asked about his daughters."That's funny... that's not how the story was initially reported...
The father of the girls was picked up by police early Tuesday morning, suffering from exposure to the extreme cold.*
"He was conscious, he was awake," said RCMP Sgt. Brad Kaeding.
