    If they were, for instance, originally from Mexico, living in Arizona, and out of fear decided to drive as far north as possible, then get across the Canadian border in a place without roadblocks, they wouldn’t even own snow clothes. They might have originally thought they could stay in the car the whole way. Or a smuggler dumped them out of a truck in the middle of nowhere.

      That’s how a family died here in Manitoba a few years ago… their “guy” dropped them off a little ways from the border for them to hoof it the rest of the way… Rcmp found them later frozen in a field. Worst part is they had an 11 year old and a baby with them.
