Canada - Lucas Fowler, Chynna Deese, and Leonard Dyck, all murdered, Alaska Hwy, BC, Jul 2019 #10

[Strangeworld]

An Australian man and his American girlfriend have died in suspicious circumstances in Canada, sparking fears they may have been murdered.

Lucas Fowler is reported to be the son of senior NSW police officer, Inspector Stephen Fowler. He was found dead alongside his girlfriend, North Carolina woman Chynna Deese, in British Columbia earlier this week sparking fears of foul play.

Chynna’s sister Kennedy Deese wrote they pair were “homicide victims along a remote stretch of highway in Canada while on a road trip.”

An older style blue mini-van the pair was believed to have been travelling was found at the scene.

Canadian police are looking for anyone who saw the vehicle or offered assistance. They’re also appealing for anyone that travelled the stretch of highway around the time of the discovery to come forward, according to a RCMP media release.

Snipped...
...“We have lost our dear Lucas Fowler, son, brother, grandson and friend in the most terrible of circumstances. To lose someone so young and vibrant, who was travelling the world and just enjoying life to the full, is devastating.

To know his beautiful girlfriend, Chynna Deese of Charlotte, North Carolina, also lost her life in this violent event is too cruel. All our love and best wishes go to Chynna’s family and friends.

We are all now travelling to Canada to be with our boy and to bring him home.
Our deepest thanks for all your love and care. At this stage, we can only move forward a minute at a time, and those minutes are moving so slowly.

Please share this with all those who may have crossed paths anywhere in the world with these beautiful young people.”

Please continue discussion here.

Two lingering questions:

1. Did Alaska police put out any type of announcement about the 2 murders, and then 3 murders, on the Alaska Highway, and
2. Did police receive three calls regarding the van on Hwy. 97 at 4PM July 14, 5AM July 15 and 7:19AM July 15? At what time did RCMP first arrive at the scene?

"The hood was up and there was a young couple sitting in lawn chairs in the ditch. The girl got up and waved at me," Carrie Haruluk said.

She said she couldn't help - her vehicle was full and there were vehicles coming in both directions - so she kept driving."

What happened to tourist couple found dead on Alaska Highway?

 

[scrappinkat]

Yes I can sympathize with you. I thought that was strange to that the two guys who had stopped the RAV4 and searched it said they only seen a couple boxes and stuff. But the news said it was filled with camping gear in that so... Like you I'm confused and now I'm starting to wonder if some of these Witnesses are maybe not being 100% factual.
The same as the guy in Cold Lake. The first story was he had spent very little time with them it was just quick and over with. And now there's articles of him stating that he spent over 20 minutes with them chatting and he shook their hands and the two young guys told him exactly what their names were were both first and surname....and more.... So again stories are changing and it's really hard to know which is actual 100% fact.

For cold lake the police brief said “a short, unremarkable interaction”. I think that’s pretty classic terminology used in professions when there’s nothing out of the ordinary that’s been noted. It was fairly brief and run of the mill. After the fact it’s seen as remarkable simply because of who was helped.

Where Lucas and China were found murdered to Alaska is well over a thousand miles.

Story posting and editing problems

 

[Xyzzia]

Sorry editing and posting problems:

Lucas and Chyna were murdered in British Columbia Canada to a main city in Alaska like Fairbanks is well over a thousand miles plus.

I'm not sure the Royal Canadian Mounted Police contacted Fairbanks? Cuz it certainly is a long ways away.

Yes they were found on the Alaska highway but that is the highway that's to Alaska and that's why it's called that.
