On July 15, 2019, the bodies of Chynna Deese and Lucas Fowler were found by highway 97 in BC, Canada. A couple days later the body of Leonard Dyck would be found, along with the burned-out truck belonging to Kam McLeod. These discoveries sparked a Canada-wide manhunt for Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky which would take RCMP all the way to Northern Manitoba.

July, 2019. A young couple travelling through one of Canada's most picturesque regions are found murdered on a deserted roadside. Days later, another murder victim is discovered 400km away. Police are reticent to link the crimes, but it soon becomes clear that a spree killer, or killers, may be on the run. A weeks-long manhunt ensues, that culminates with an ending that only raises more questions than it answers.

On July 22nd, 2019 a Canadian officer was driving around on his normal patrol route when up ahead of him he saw a truck run a red light at an intersection. The officer quickly flashed his lights and signaled to the trucks driver to pullover. Inside were two young men who appeared to be in their late teens. They looked nervous and scared. He told them he'd watched them run a red light and that they needed to be more careful. The teens just nodded in agreement and apologized, still frightened. Wondering why the boys seemed so unnerved, The officer decided to search the boys vehicle, but didn't find anything suspicious. The only items in the back were survival gear and maps, pretty common belongings for people driving in that area who liked to hike or camp in the wilderness. Realizing he had nothing to keep them further, The officer told the boys to be more careful driving and sent them on their way. As he watched them drive off he had no idea he was letting two killers go free.

Last summer, long before a pandemic was on the horizon, the biggest story was a teenage manhunt. After discovering the bodies of Lucas Fowler and Chynna Deese at one location and Leonard Dyck at another, the RCMP named an 18 and a 19-year-old as their main suspects. And they were on the run. After a nationwide sweep that involved the military and tons of media coverage, police found the killers' bodies in the brush of northern Manitoba. In a video found on site, Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky confessed to the murders and voiced their plans to end it all with a murder suicide. Now, a year later, the RCMP are preparing to close the case for good. But one major question remains: Why did they do it? GUEST: Alex McKeen, Vancouver bureau reporter for the Toronto Star, who, with colleague Douglas Quan, recently wrote about the anniversary.
Episode 128 - On the 15th of July, 2019, just outside Liard Hot Springs, B.C., the bodies of an innocent couple, Chynna Deese, 24, from Charlotte, NC, and her Australian boyfriend, Lucas Fowler, 23, were found shot to death beside their 1986 Chevy van. Police had no idea who had done this, or why. Four days later, a burning truck, registered to a young Vancouver Island man was found burning near Dease Lake, B.C. As police were attending to that scene, they were notified of another man found murdered only two km from the burning truck. This 64-year-old botanist and UBC lecturer, named Leonard Dyck. His Toyota RAV4 was missing, along with the two young men, who quickly became suspects in the murders, sparking a manhunt that took police through four Provinces and one Territory, ending in Manitoba, thousands of kilometres from where it began.

A young couple found dead, a middle-aged man's body near a burnt-out camper, two teens missing after leaving home to look for work: these storylines would all converge in the remote landscape of northern British Columbia, culminating in a manhunt that would put the spotlight on a bizarre manhunt swirling in mystery, fear and warnings with journalists scrambling to keep up with the twists and turns. BTS with CTV Vancouver host Penny Daflos discusses the disappearances of Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend Chynna Deese, the discovery of UBC lecturer Leonard Dyck's body and the missing persons case-turned manhunt of Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod with reporter Shannon Paterson. They delve into the challenges of a massive and constantly-changing case that put huge demands on our newsroom as the story grew broader and moved across the country.
At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, B.C. RCMP Assistant Commissioner Kevin Hackett said that while officers will continue to investigate why murder suspects Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky may have murdered three people, it will be difficult to determine the motive.

Julie Courchaine told a news conference in Winnipeg that the agency received a tip Sunday afternoon that Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky may have been spotted in York Landing — about 55 miles (90 kilometers) from Gillam, where a vehicle that had been used by the suspects was found burned last week.The Royal Canadian Mounted Police issued a tweet saying "it is critical" that residents in York Landing "stay indoors as much as possible with their doors locked."The community of about 500 people is accessible only by air or a ferry, though a rail line runs about 15 miles (25 kilometers) away.Nineteen-year-old McLeod and 18-year-old Schmegelsky have been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Leonard Dyck, whose body was found last week in British Columbia.They are also suspects in the fatal shootings of Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend Chynna Deese of Charlotte, North Carolina, whose bodies were found July 15 along the Alaska Highway about 500 kilometers (300 miles) from Dyck's killing.The RCMP Manitoba said the Royal Canadian Air Force was assisting with the search.Police earlier had been searching further east in the town of Gillam, aided by tracking dogs and drones.Meanwhile, the father of one of the suspects has sent a book to reporters describing his mental health, harassment convictions involving his ex-wife and his relationship with his fugitive son.Alan Schmegelsky said the book titled "Red Flagged" is a novelization of actual events and fictionalizes some incidents.He said he sent the book to reporters to highlight how a "broken system" has shaped him and his son."My son and I have been treated like footballs. It's time for some truth," he said.He writes that he was arrested by Victoria police on Aug. 4, 2008, his son Bryer's eighth birthday, three years after his acrimonious split with the boy's mother.Court records show he was charged with criminal harassment in December 2008. He was found guilty of the lesser offence of disobeying a court order.He returned to court numerous times over the next decade on charges of harassment and breach of probation.Schmegelsky says he does not currently have a permanent residence and has been homeless for about two years, staying primarily in Victoria.He has said that he did not see his son between the ages of 8 and 16, at which age his son briefly lived with him in Victoria and they worked in construction together for a summer. He showed The Canadian Press recent photos and videos of his son on his phone.

At: https://pastlivesproject.org/ USER Messages High Strangeness along the Highway of Tears: Is there an active “highway killer” in or near British Columbia? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/22/canada-three-dead-and-two-missing-within-days-on-remote-highway At a press conference on Monday, representatives of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the two cases might be linked, despite earlier assurances that there was “nothing to indicate” that the double murder of Australian Lucas Fowler, 23, and US citizen Chynna Deese, 24, was related to the discovery of a burning car and a man’s body some 500km south and the disappearance of two Canadian teenagers. On Friday, four days after the bodies of Deese and Fowler were discovered, police in the town of Dease Lake – several hours’ drive south – launched a search for Kam McLeod, age 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, age 18, after their truck was discovered in flames near the town. The two youths had been traveling to Whitehorse in the Yukon in search of work. Update: Two Missing Young Men named as suspects in deaths: https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/23/americas/canada-couple-murder/index.html Chynna had just graduated from Appalachian State (NC native) and Lucas, son of an Australian Policeman and Aussie native, were traveling North America and were last seen in British Columbia. Their van broke down and after 24 hours, Chynna’s brother stopped hearing from her. Last reports were the couple arguing by the side of the road with a trucker. The body of a man was found on Friday near a burning pick-up truck south of the Stikine River Bridge on Highway 37 in northern British Columbia. The 450-mile stretch is north of the road chillingly dubbed the Highway of Tears - with up to 50 women vanishing or being murdered there since 1970. Terrified locals now believed a serial killer is on the loose - after three women died or disappeared in 2018. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9550998/bearded-driver-backpacker-couple-canadian-motorway-murder/ Backpacking/Vandweller Couple last seen arguing with mysterious bearded trucker before death: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9544630/serial-killer-canada-highway-couple-dead/ https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/25/world/americas/canada-indigenous-women-highway-16.html Highway 16, a remote ribbon of asphalt that bisects British Columbia and snakes past thick forests, logging towns and impoverished Indian reserves on its way to the Pacific Ocean. So many women and girls have vanished or turned up dead along one stretch of the road that residents call it the Highway of Tears. A special unit formed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police officially linked 18 such cases from 1969 to 2006 to this part of the highway and two connecting arteries. More women have vanished since then, and community activists and relatives of the missing say they believe the total is closer to 50. Almost all the cases remain unsolved. In 2016, the Highway of Tears played into “political scandal” as the government attempted to create better relations between Canada and it’s native people. Got Omi’s attention because last year we talked about the missing indigenous/native women in Montana and North Dakota and the new documentary: https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/finding-ashley-a-native-american-familys-desperate-search-for-their-missing-relative-%E2%80%93-video/vp-BBVNuQV Cpl. Chris Manseau had said it was unusual for investigators in sparsely populated northern British Columbia to have two "complex and dynamic" cases at once. Dozens of Canadian women, and possibly even more Indigenous Women have disappeared in this area over the PAST FOUR DECADES: British Columbia is infamous for serial killers and criminals who often targeted aboriginal women. In 2007, Robert William Pickton, a pig farmer, was convicted of killing six women, though the DNA or remains of 33 women were discovered on his land. Many of them were aboriginal. One of Canada’s youngest serial killers, Cody Legebokoff, was 24 when he was convicted in 2014 of killing four women near the Highway of Tears. David Ramsay, a former Prince George provincial court judge, and convicted pedophile was imprisoned in 2004 for sexually and physically assaulting indigenous girls as young as 12. British Columbia is notorious, albeit in Canada, for its rash of serial killers targeting native women: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/25/world/americas/canada-indigenous-women-highway-16.html We’ve added another event to our already busy schedule!

Kat discusses the Canadian Highway murders! She tells us all about the victims, suspects and more. "Like many young couples in love and in the spirit for adventure, Chynna Deese and Lucas Fowler only wanted to have a good time when they set out on a trip across Canada. But instead, Deese, 24, and Fowler, 23, were shot dead under “what can only be described as horrific circumstances” in an attack that would lead investigators to the body of 64-year-old Leonard Dyck hundreds of miles away and on a hunt for two teens feared responsible for the killing spree.
