I heard approx. six weeks. Not sure where.Does anyone know how long they worked for? Wondering if they saved all their money Or if they were paying any bills and just blowing it all? Maybe they have pockets full of money on hand from saving ?
I believe they worked for about five weeks, at a Walmart, and perhaps only part-time. I seriously doubt they saved a bundle from that.I heard approx. six weeks. Not sure where.

There are no confirmed sightings since the burned vehicle 40km East of Gillam Manitoba on July 22.
Social media rumours also had them heading to Quebec via Pembroke and Ottawa. So lots of coverage.Anyone on here from Quebec outside of Montreal? I’m curious what sort of coverage the story has received in the francophone press and in northern Quebec. How aware might someone be in rural northern Quebec about who these two guys are or what they look like?
Not that I think they made it that far.
I know in Alberta I get virtually zero news on anything that happens in Quebec from MSM.
Just one of several alternatives for RCMP finding the burnt RAV4 but no subsequent trace of them.I'm stuck on the fact that the car was burned next to a train track. I don't think that was accidental. They drove to Split Lake, got gas, drove to the end of the road at the train track, burned the car and disappeared. That sounds like a plan.
...
interesting thought:I’ve been thinking the same thing! Not that they necessarily planned to make a cross country road trip initially, but once they got themselves in this situation, this might have become their new goal. Though if they do end up in the Maritimes, I think there is a far better chance they’ll be caught, as those provinces are much less vast than, say, Manitoba or Ontario. Fewer places to hide.
Interesting thought, perhaps, but not very likely, imo. A trip across country would cost considerably more money than they most likely had, just buying gas alone, and had they begun robbing places to get money to finance such a spur-of-the-moment trek, surely someone would have recognized them and called authorities. JMOinteresting thought:
if you knew you were facing 25yrs in prison, why not just travel across the country till you get caught.
that would be a way of making a trip of a lifetime because all they will see are restricted areas when they get caught.
like bs dad said "go out blazing" memories to keep them content with the fact they messed their life up
It crossed my mind that perhaps KM was able to sneak some money from his house/parents somehow; they seem to be people with ‘means’ and maybe he took advantage of that (?)...or, graduation gift money?I believe they worked for about five weeks, at a Walmart, and perhaps only part-time. I seriously doubt they saved a bundle from that.
Kudos to this reporter! Thought she did a great job of staying on top of the story amidst very challenging circumstances. Sorry to see her leave!@LexiDaish
Leaving Canada without a resolution... really, really hope they find them - alive - for the victims’ families sake. There’s plenty of great people still trying.

Wonder if this is the 2 suspects latest strategy to bedevil the RCMP? No, I don't believe this! Most likely the 2 are dead at this point. But it looks like the folks in Ontario have heard of the case now, so that is encouraging that they are aware and paying attention.This was posted in the hard copy of the National Post on Aug 2. There doesn't appear to be an online copy of the article other than pressreader.

How many people are missing in Canada that were last heard from around July 22 or 23rd? Were any near Gillam or traveling when they disappeared?.
Looks like a great future ahead for this fine (and brave) reporter!@LexiDaish

Hold on @otto, gotta ask for clarification on this one please as I'm confused what you are saying.I don't really like the messaging that is coming out in relation to this investigation. The teens were initially labeled as "missing." Now, in hindsight, people are saying that the message should have been that although they were missing, the public should have been told to "not approach them." That's ridiculous.
I find it alarming how many active missing people cases are in canada.ALBERTA MISSING REPORT • Missing Persons Database for Albertans
There’s lots missing from Alberta, same as BC. I assume that police would 100% be looking into (or have already looked into) anyone missing around Gillam. A few of the people listed in the website list are back home but it’s not updated on the site.
