Police in Calgary are searching for a missing five-year-old after her mother was found dead.

July 13, 11 a.m. Taliyah's father releases a statement through a friend pleading for anyone with information to "do the right thing."

July 13, 2 p.m. Police release the Dairy Queen footage along with the detail from witnesses who may have seen the girl in the neighbourhood Monday morning.

July 13,10:30 p.m. Police take into custody a man they believe is involved in Taliyah's disappearance. Police don't release any details about his identity other than to say he is not Taliyah's father and it's believed he is connected to Baillie.

July 14, 5:20 a.m. Police announce that officers are searching a rural area east of Calgary near the bedroom community of Chestermere. "They are hoping to find Taliyah," police say.

July 14, 2:30 p.m. Police call the man in custody a suspect. They say he was known to both Taliyah's mother and father. They also believe he is the same man witnesses saw with a girl who looked like Taliyah. They believe he and the girl got out of Baillie's car and drove off in a grey sedan on Monday morning.

July 14, 9:04 p.m. Police issue a news release saying officers have found a body believed to be Taliyah's by a rural road near Chestermere.

July 14, 10 p.m. Police hold a news conference and say two charges of first-degree murder have been laid against Edward Delten Downey, 46. They reveal that Taliyah had already been killed before police were first called. "There was nothing we could do before we even got involved."

July 20 Downey appears in court via closed-circuit television. Lawyer Gavin Wolch says he wants to move quickly to trial, because he is worried that his client is being tried in the media and not the courtroom.

July 21 Baillie and Taliyah are remembered at their funeral service as a pair who "brought such great smiles to our hearts."
