At a news conference Thursday, Const. Attila Horvath said police have identified a suspect in the case, but need more witnesses to come forward before charges can be laid.

Police believe the suspect rented the home using his real name through Airbnb, and picked up the house keys from the homeowners. He was also caught on CCTV using fraudulent credit cards to purchase lots of alcohol and food for the weekend party.

The suspect is “definitely known to police,” and investigators believe he is in Calgary.

“We haven’t been able to locate him, and he hasn’t come forward,” Horvath said.

Horvath said investigators need to speak with people who were at the party to determine when the property damage occurred and who caused it.

“I don’t believe everybody at that party was involved in damaging the house, but we’d like to speak to as many people as we can to determine who were the individuals that did cause the damage,” Horvath said.

The Kings, who have two children, said they will likely be out of their Sage Hill house for the months it will take to clean and restore it. As the cleanup continues at the home, the Kings said they aren’t sure they’ll ever want to live there again.

“At this point, I can’t imagine actually looking at those walls again after seeing it in that state,” Star said on Thursday, standing across the street from her house as workers in hazmat suits and respirator masks went in and out of the front door, moving the contents of their home into large trucks.
