snoop1130 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Missing Canada teens now suspects in murder of tourists By Moira Warburton (Reuters) - Two teenagers, first categorized as missing in Canada, are now suspects in the murder of an Australian tourist, his American girlfriend and an unidentified man whose body was found near the teens’ abandoned, flaming car, police said on Tuesday. Lucas Fowler, 23, an Australian citizen, and Chynna Deese, 24, from Charlotte, North Carolina, were found shot dead on July 15 on a highway in northern British Columbia, 20 km (12 miles) from Liard Hot Springs. Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, have been missing since July 19. Their car was found in flames about 500 km (310 miles) away from where Fowler and Deese were found dead, near Dease Lake, British Columbia. The body of a man the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are still trying to identify was found 2 km (1.2 miles) from the abandoned car. It was not immediately clear to police whether the body was connected to the car and the missing teenagers, but the RCMP said they are now also considering McLeod and Schmegelsky as suspects in the man’s murder. McLeod and Schmegelsky were last seen in northern Saskatchewan, driving a gray 2011 Toyota RAV4, the RCMP said. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) was interviewing Deese’s mother, Sheila, when police announced that the teenagers were suspects and warned the public not to approach them, instead saying to call 911. “I need for anyone with information to share that, because this can’t happen to another family,” the mother was quoted as saying. “It shouldn’t have happened to ours.” Police have cited the vastness of the area in question, as well as its remoteness, as factors complicating their investigation. It is not known if McLeod and Schmegelsky are armed, or what their motives may be. The ABC said Deese was due home on July 31, with the day marked “Chynna returns” in the calendar by the kitchen at the family’s North Carolina home. “I don’t know what I’m going to do on July 31,” Sheila told the network. “Chynna was a sunflower. Strong and tall and beautiful.” -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-07-24 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegman Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Where their SUV was found is about as isolated as it gets around here. Any further north you can go by only air or rail. One road from the south up to there. Nothing up that way other than some First Nation reserves and hydro dam camps. They are likey lost in the bush or jumped a train south. Let's see if the RCMP live up to their motto of "They always get their man." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
