From Presser:
Assistant Commissioner Jane MacLatchy, commanding officer of the Manitoba RCMP, made the announcement in Winnipeg at 3:00 p.m. ET.
-While there were no confirmed sightings since July 22nd, LE kept going as they knew they needed that new evidence
-Friday, August 2nd critical evidence found on the banks of the river directly related to the suspects
-At last able to narrow down the search
-High probability search immediately occurred
-Located in the bush this morning, 2 male bodies within 1 km of where the evidence was found; 8 km from burned vehicle
-Autopsy in Winnipeg to determine COD for 2 male bodies believed to be suspects, waiting for confirmation that it is them
Q & A:
-Not sure how long they have been dead - waiting for autopsy results
-Confident it is them - waiting for autopsy results
-Specialized RCMP Officers found them doing a foot search
-Can't speak to injuries
-Certain amount of relief and hopefully the residents of the surrounding area can feel safe in the woods now
-Very, very dense brush, difficult, thick brush, no trails where the bodies were located
-Questions regarding costs, logistics - don't have answers now
-Cannot go through the brush arm and arm, it's too thick
-Smaller grid search was able to be done once the key evidence was found
The Mounties always get their man (or men) !
So proud of the RCMP! I had moments of doubt, I admit. So glad this seems to be over.
chances are slim that it was an animal. If it was a bear or animal they wouldn't be found close together the bear would get one and the other person would run. It's suicide in my opinion.
Would love an updated map of bodies location in relation to items found/Rav4.
Also, morbidly I want to know how they died, was it elements/animal/suicide, and maybe photos of the location of the bodies.
While it may be true that the elements got them, the Mounties knew where they were (approximately) and made escape impossible. In my opinion you have to give a lot of credit to the RCMP and community of Gillam.Mounties didn't get them, the elements did.
Thank God this is over for the people of Canada. I wish the families of the deceased could have gotten better justice, though.![]()
