Having worked in retail for a while, young people are fond of the prepaid gift cards (visa and mastercard), which are marginally better than carrying cash and Canadians are quite fond of their tap credit and debit cards. The tap feature is so common that one typically has to have their bank disable it, which I have done so I can't speak of specifics but I believe that the tap feature works on transactions under $100.
The original artist sketch of the professor was very accurate and I can't imagine that someone in his family didn't catch it on the news and contacted RCMP simply because it sounds like it's an area he frequented and RCMP typically discloses what they feel they need to further their investigation, I have a feeling that he was identified fairly early on but without identifying him publicly, the RCMP were possibly tracking transactions on his bank or credit card statements. It may be those transactions and burned vehicle that tied things together enough to lay charges.
I agree both on the debit and credit cards but I also think most would carry some cash on a trip at least and one out of the country certainly and more so, if they were going to travel in remote areas.
With regard to LD, I agree entirely. I think these two possibly did use debit/credit cards from him and even possibly from CD and LF, it would be an instant link and probably result in video coverage of the perps using them--again linking them to the victim(s).
