Closed-circuit television camera recordings showed that they left the medical centre at 11.30am on Wednesday in Dr Haliza's Nissan Latio.Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said the Latio was found at 6am yesterday. It is believed police had tracked the vehicle through its global positioning system device.Khalid said a guard at the Klang Gates dam had reported seeing the duo trekking in the area, something they apparently did quite often."They were reportedly close and both liked to go jungle trekking." The families of both doctors declined to speak to reporters. Ampang police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Jalil Hassan said the deaths of the two doctors had been classified as sudden death and police did not suspect foul play.
