From centralmaine.com:
BUCKFIELD — The search continues Wednesday for two armed and dangerous individuals who are accused of assaulting a Buckfield man in his home early Tuesday morning.
Edwin Bennett, 67, suffered stab wounds to his chest and blunt force trauma after Neil Roy Canney, 52, of Greene and Hartford and his niece, Selena Canney, 49, of Hartford allegedly broke into his home on Bennett Road.
The search for the two suspects includes assistance from state and federal investigators, said Oxford County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy James Urquhart. They were last seen Tuesday morning in Bethel.
According to police, Neil and Selena Canney entered Bennett’s home and forced him at gunpoint to enter another part of the house. While inside the residence, Bennett was both beaten with a handgun and stabbed.
Bennett escaped to his neighbor’s house, who 911 was called at 1:20 a.m., according to the Oxford County Communications Center. Rescue personnel transported Bennett to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston where he underwent surgery, police said. He was treated and released Tuesday evening.
The suspects allegedly left the area driving a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox registered to Neil Canney, police said. The vehicle is grey in color with Maine registration plates 8002YF.
Arrest warrants for Neil and Selena Canney have been issued for aggravated assault. Both are considered armed and dangerous and are believed to be traveling together, police said. Authorities had surrounded a home in Hartford on Tuesday afternoon, but it was discovered to be vacant.
Anyone with information on the Canneys’ location is asked to contact police immediately.

Thoughts? I am reasonably assuming that Neil and Selena Canney are still at large as of this posting date (August 1st, 2021) since the above article is from only two days ago with no updates I could find online since. Of course, if that status has since changed and/or changes in the future, anyone is more than welcome to email our website contact form and let us know. Also, I usually like to give our readers a specific number or website for tips, but right now articles are just lazily stating to "call the police" if you've seen the Canneys. I'll update this thread if there's ever an updated specific contact point (or hopefully they'll be caught and there won't be a need for one).
