   It is very oddly worded.  It would make more sense as:   
      
   "The pair may have been helped by a civilian, who did not recognise them,   
   to leave the area."  (OK)   
      
   "The pair may have been helped to leave the area by a civilian who did not   
   recognise them."  (better, in my opinion)   
      
   Their photos have been all over reports here in the states, so I assume   
   there have also been plenty of photos with Canadian reports also.  Whoever   
   helped them was likely innocent of knowning they were fugatives from the   
   law.
