Mysterious Bearded Man Seen Arguing With Murdered US Woman and Her Australian Boyfriend Before Their Deaths
By Isabel van Brugen
July 22, 2019 Updated: July 22, 2019

A mysterious bearded man was seen arguing with the American woman and her Australian boyfriend who were murdered on a Canadian highway last week, according to a witness.

A widespread manhunt was launched after the murder of 24-year-old Chynna Deese and 23-year-old Lucas Fowler, whose bodies were discovered on the Alaska Highway in British Columbia on July 15, reported the Daily Mail.

The pair, who had just begun a road trip in Canada, were last seen on the afternoon of July 14 beside their blue Chevrolet minivan which had reportedly broken down.

Highway of Tears:
Quote
The Highway of Tears is a 720-kilometre (450 mi) corridor of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, which has been the location of many murders and disappearances beginning in 1970. The phrase was coined in 1998 during a vigil held in Terrace, British Columbia for six missing women. There are a disproportionately high number of Indigenous women on the list of victims. Proposed explanations for the years-long endurance of the crimes and the limited progress in identifying culprits include systemic racism, poverty, drug abuse, widespread domestic violence, disconnection with traditional culture and disruption of the family unit through the foster care system and Canadian Indian residential school system.[1][2][3][4] Poverty in particular leads to low rates of car ownership and mobility, thus hitchhiking is often the only way for many to travel vast distances to see family or go to work, school, or seek medical treatment. Another factor leading to abductions and murders is that the area is largely isolated and remote, with soft soil in many areas and carnivorous scavengers to carry away human remains; these factors precipitate violent attacks as perpetrators feel a sense of impunity, privacy and the ability to easily carry out their crimes and hide evidence.[5][6][7]

Tourist couple murder: Teenage boys named as suspects

(https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/660/cpsprodpb/F7FF/production/_107978436_67370_bryers-and-kamm-photo.jpg)

Two Canadian teenagers thought to be on the run are now the main suspects in the double murder of a young couple.

A burnt-out camper van belonging to the lifelong friends - Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18 - was discovered on Friday along the highway in northern British Columbia.

Days before, two tourists were found shot to death 500km (310 miles) away.

Police say Mr McLeod and Mr Schmegelsky have since been spotted driving out of the province and are now suspects.

She's an American, he's an Australian, I thought I posted it and was going to update that but I couldn't. A preliminary sketch of a person of interest came out yesterday and was basically the portrait of a haggard looking fellow with a beard. So, this is totally different. God rest their souls.  A real surprise on this one, of course, they need to be tried first.

As the article reads, days before, 2 other tourists were found dead, 310 miles away.

Father of Canada Highway Murder Suspect Says Son on ‘Suicide Mission,’ Will Likely Die

...

After McLeod and Schmegelsky were charged with second-degree murder for allegedly killing Dyck, Schmegelsky’s father said that his son had a troubled upbringing and is in “very serious pain” stemming from his parents divorce in 2005.

“A normal child doesn’t travel across the country killing people. A child in some very serious pain does,” Alan Schmegelsky told Canadian Press.

Schmegelsky said his son will probably die in a battle with police officers.

“He’s on a suicide mission. He wants his pain to end. Basically, he’s going to be dead today or tomorrow.

Okay, but you don't go killing people. Lots of people have troubled backgrounds but don't do this.

Though, to me, it did sound like these two have something that makes me think of those kinds of Satanic-music killings, stuff like that. That they are way way out there.

This is a captivating story, I'm going to sticky it for the time being.  It supposedly is getting a lot of international attention, it's been prominent at the BBC and Fox News too.

The latest, the two boys may have been able to get out of where they were allegedly holed up in the province of Manitoba through a disguise, they even fooled someone up there. Sounds like the RCMP, Royal Canadian Mounted Patrol talked to someone up there but what disguise?

B.C. homicide suspect Bryer Schmegelsky not a neo-Nazi, dad says
But the wanted 18-year-old thought Nazi memorabilia was 'cool'

Photos of Bryer Schmegelsky submitted to CBC News by an online gamer at Steam, a video game distribution platform, where the two met. (Submitted)

A homicide suspect who allegedly sent photographs of a swastika armband and a Hitler Youth knife to an online friend was not a Nazi sympathizer, but he did think the memorabilia was "cool," says his father.

The photographs also show Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, in military fatigues, holding an Airsoft replica rifle and wearing a gas mask.

The man is a suspect along with Kam McLeod, 19, in two homicides in Northern British Columbia.

See, he's following a bit into a pattern of the kinds of people who do these crimes.

They found Nazi paraphernalia at an Army Surplus Store in BC Canada? That's a bit surprising.. See the remaining story at link with photo.

So, what are the guesses? These people get found out soon? I'd give 48 hours but I thought they'd catch them pretty quickly and I have definitely been wrong.

Military arrives in Northern Manitoba to help search for homicide suspects

RCMP will determine the area where Hercules aircraft will assist

The Canadian military has landed in Gillam, Man., and will join the search for two young homicide suspects in Northen Manitoba.

The Department of National Defence confirmed in a written statement that a Royal Canadian Air Force CC-130H Hercules aircraft from 435 Transport and Rescue Squadron in Winnipeg will assist with an aerial search.

The statement said an RCMP officer will be on board the aircraft to direct the search and said this remains an RCMP-led effort, with the Royal Canadian Air Force in a support role. The RCMP will determine the area for the air search.

Almost hourly developments, they are sending the military in.

CBC says maybe someone "not police friendly" has helped them, so one report earlier said maybe someone helped them inadvertently, not knowing who they were.

A real dragnet here.

Yes, this is a big deal but one would not think this big of a deal but I guess it is.

Lastly, the bearded young man, he looks like so many young males, teens still? But Bryer Schmegelsky, he does seem to have that it of strangeness about him to me.

They are going house to house but this brings up in my mind, the ol' movie scenario where law enforcement is knocking on the door looking for someone and the people who answer say "Everything is fine" when actually, the criminal is holed up there. I hope, they can thoroughly investigate the situation.

Police aided by tracking dogs and drones have been going door to door, checking every residence and abandoned building in and around Gillam as townspeople maintain a stressful vigil for the fugitives.

RCMP officers came to Neil Houle's door in Gillam. He said police wanted to see who was in the house and to know if people felt secure.

...

In addition, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs said that it had requested help from the Bear Clan Patrol, an Indigenous-led neighbourhood watch group, and was co-ordinating teams to fly to First Nations communities including Fox Lake Cree Nation, York Factory First Nation, and War Lake First Nation.

These boys seem to be the kind to commit suicide imho, if the police are able to close in.... still no sign, one can expect breaking news at any time but it doesn't come. They sure got away from British Colombia a pretty huge distance.

And the dogs are out there, I would almost want to be able to check attics, basements, sheds and so on though, at the same time, I'd respect privacy concerns.

Of course, I don't cheer for these kids for what they've done but I understand in the 1930s when some of their gangsters were on the lamb, I'm thinking specifically of Bonnie and Clyde, some cheered them on to continuing escaping the law. Maybe it was that way with John Dillinger.  Of course, these two apparently committed cold blooded murder.

CBC said late last night, the search has expanded to York Landing but danged if nothing is coming up about them capturing these two.

Canada murder suspects were stopped by constables, let go before manhunt announced, official says
By Travis Fedschun | Fox News

...

Before the two young men were the focus of manhunt that has spanned Canada, the pair were stopped during a routine check as they drove through the reserve of the Tataskweyak Cree Nation in Manitoba, Canada's Global News reported.

Councilor Nathan Neckoway from the Tataskweyak Cree Nation told the news outlet the pair were stopped during a routine check for alcohol in the dry community near Split Lake --located about 150 miles from Gillam -- but were let go when authorities didn't find anything.

“We weren’t aware of their status, of them being wanted,” Neckoway told Global News. “Apparently after they came to our community, that’s when they sent out that wanted [status].”

I said in the other thread that it wouldn't surprise me that some of this sprang out of jealousy to tell you the truth per the American, Chynee and her boyfriend, the Australian. Nothing to back it up. And then, along the way, the two allegedly killed a 3rd person, an older man. I guess, a burned out car was found.  We know very little, they killed in cold blood so I hope they are captured but it is interesting seeing them allude the law for the time being.  But they don't seem like any Robin Hoods.

And yes, they are back to square one, their leads did not pan out. Follow the story at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:   https://www.cbc.ca/news (https://www.cbc.ca/news)

What's curious too is we don't know how they "allegedly" killed these people, no mention of guns, no mention of knives, basically nothing. They could have killed them with stones for all they've told us.  Well, there is the photo of one of them holding a gun above, so, yes, they likely shot their victims but it hasn't been clearly stated so.

Nothing said there to argue with, really, and we have relatives up that way. Some of the social problems are the result of bad choices, but many are the result of Government Policy. Some just come with the territory.

The social problems set the victims up, the geography (makes North Dakota look overpopulated) ensures there is a lot of country to hide a body in, and there is no shortage of scavengers to dispose of the remains.

The international focus only comes after an American and Australian go missing.

Underwater divers have been deployed to a northern Manitoba river where a damaged aluminum boat may provide some clue to the whereabouts of two suspects wanted in connection to three B.C. homicides.

Searchers on a helicopter spotted the boat on the shore of the Nelson River on Friday afternoon, RCMP said on Sunday.

Based on the discovery, five members of the Underwater Recovery Team will "conduct a thorough underwater search of significant areas of interest today," the RCMP said in a news release.

Authorities in Canada are deploying a specialized dive team to search a section of river in a remote and rugged part of northern Manitoba as they continue the hunt for two young men suspected in the killings of three people that has spawned a nationwide search.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Manitoba said the agency's underwater recovery team was arriving in Gillam on Saturday night and divers will begin to search a section of the Nelson River on Sunday.

RCMP find items linked to B.C. homicide suspects on northern Manitoba shoreline

Large police presence remains in Gillam and Fox Lake Cree Nation, chief says
Austin Grabish · CBC News · Posted: Aug 06, 2019 9:21 AM CT

Manitoba RCMP say they have found several items linked to B.C. homicide suspects Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky on a shoreline in northern Manitoba.

Police said Tuesday that several items were located on the shore of the Nelson River on Friday, about nine kilometres from where a burnt-out vehicle used by the suspects was found last month. (Police had earlier said the items were discovered Saturday, but later issued a correction.)

The vehicle police said was used by McLeod and Schmegelsky was found on July 22, about 40 kilometres from the town of Gillam and near Fox Lake Cree Nation.

Family of B.C. murder victim remembers Leonard Dyck as ‘gentle soul,’ family man

The family of Leonard Dyck is choosing to remember him by the quality of his life and by how much he loved his family and friends.

Dyck is one of three people believed to have been killed by Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod last month in northern B.C.

Eric Friesen, Dyck’s cousin, spoke to Global News in an exclusive interview — the first time the family has spoken publicly since their loved one was found dead on a northern B.C. highway.

The details may all be lost forever, they are all dead... and the police certainly have not told us a lot of what happened, there will be no trial, nothing of that sort. An inquest of what occurred perhaps? Maybe not, maybe the families would not want that.

Interests, okay, botany, sea weed in particular...

To me, this Canadian news all mainly appeared as good reporting, not biased as say, the BBC can be. They did a good job. Neutral reporting in reading their other reports for the most part. National Post is another good website for news.

Authorities might have seen smoke from a campfire, a few clues like this. I also heard one opinion that maybe they died of exposure, we will see.

Family of an American woman killed in B.C. is denouncing comments from the father of one of two men suspected in connection with her death and two others.

...

But Deese's sister, Kennedy Deese, wrote in a statement on Facebook Saturday that "The proper public response would have been a genuine apology."

Deese described her sister as loving and compassionate in life and said she and her family forgive the suspects and their families. "But we still forgive you and have mercy," she wrote.

Canada killings: Teen murder suspects 'in gunfire suicides'

Two teenagers who prompted a Canada-wide manhunt are thought to have died in suicides "by gunfire", police say.

A post-mortem examination has confirmed that bodies found last week in northern Manitoba are those of Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18.

They were suspected of three murders - those of an Australian-US couple and a Canadian man.

The two-week hunt for the suspects ended last Wednesday when their bodies were found near Gillam.

The main thing I note from this is that the Police, RCMP- Royal Canadian Mounted Police, released the findings of their investigation...

The two young men made  six videos confessing their guilt but RCMP says they will NOT release these videos, see article for details.

Canadian police release findings of report into murders of three tourists

...

The RCMP said Schmegelsky and McLeod made six videos confessing to the crimes on Dyck’s digital camera, although the videos do not contain information on motive or specifics of the murders.

The videos will not be released to the public, due to what Hackett said was the potential for the footage to “inspire other individuals to carry out a targeted act of violence, essentially creating copycats.”

It will never be publicized because to do so is against the PC Rules that forbid ever publicizing anything negative about protected classes of people,but I suspect these two boy were queer for each other,and feeling conflicted/guilty about it.

What do children do when they are frustrated and feeling guilty? They strike out at others.

The suicide pact is what sealed this prediction for me.
