RCMP in Nova Scotia say a second car has been seized in connection with the Amber Kirwan murder investigation.
Sgt. Brigdit Leger, a media spokesperson with the RCMP, says police executed a search warrant and seized a blue 2008 Hyundai Elantra on Highway 6 in Caribou River around 8 p.m. Thursday.
Area resident Colin Rafuse says he watched it happen front the front window of his home.
"I just seen this flatbed truck coming up…it had lots of lights on it and it turned in the yard here and just backed out there," he says.
Leger wouldn't say who the car belongs to, or why it was seized, but she says it is being examined for evidence.
This is the second car to be seized in connection with the Kirwan case.
Police seized a 2002 Chev Impala in New Glasgow on Monday, and while they haven't said who owns the car, area residents say it belongs to Christopher Falconer, who was convicted of second-degree murder in the killing of cab driver Robert LeBlanc in 1998.
"I always knew it as Chris' car…because Chris was always in the car driving around on the roads," area resident Wayne Desmond tells CTV News.
Falconer was released on full parole in May, but police arrested him Wednesday afternoon on a parole violation. He was transferred to the Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Dartmouth on Thursday.
Falconer was arrested just under a kilometre from where police seized the car on Monday, but police say his arrest is not related to the Kirwan murder investigation.
Leger says no one has been arrested in connection to the case.
Meanwhile, police are still on the scene of a mobile home in Heathbell.
Investigators have been on the scene at the Hardwood Hill Road residence since they first executed a search warrant at the property on Tuesday.
Leger says police expect to remain on the scene all day Friday and throughout the evening.
"If it is deemed that there is still evidentiary value and the police still have the scene secured, the search will continue," says RCMP spokesman Const. Bill Rudolph.
Police haven't said what they are looking for, or who lives in the home, but they do say the search is related to the Amber Kirwan murder investigation.
Neighbours say Alice Meier, the stepsister of Christopher Falconer, lives in the home, which is located roughly three kilometers from where police discovered Kirwan's body on Saturday.
An intense search for the missing teen began last month after she disappeared from a New Glasgow pool hall.
Her friends say she left Dooly's around 1:30 a.m. on October 9 with the intention of meeting her boyfriend at Big Al's, a nearby convenience store.
Kirwan is seen leaving Dooly's and walking up the street towards Big Al's, but her boyfriend says she never showed up, and Kirwan doesn't appear on surveillance tapes from the parking lot at Big Al's.
Police, RCMP divers and ground search and rescue teams conducted extensive searches throughout parts of Pictou County, including the Heathbell area, last month.
They returned to Heathbell last weekend to execute a search warrant on a farm property in the area when they discovered her remains on a logging trail, just off Heathbell Road on November 5.
Hundreds of people poured into a funeral home in New Glasgow today to pay their respects to the teen and her family. A stone wall has also been erected as a memorial site for Kirwan, just metres from Dooly's pool hall.
A funeral service will be held for Kirwan on Saturday at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Stellarton.
