After taking the information to social media with a description of the three individuals, Heinrich received messages about a girl matching the description of one of the alleged culprits, reportedly seen toting the snake around Orchard Park Mall wrapped around her hand, before getting on a city bus to West Kelowna.

Heinrich described her as wearing a red t-shirt and black puffer vest and having long black hair.
