I’m confused by the statement that I’ve bolded. Is she saying they received tips about the Texas guy and that there was a probable link between him and the murders of Fowler/Deese? (It wasn’t a possible presence in Canada, he was/maybe still is, in Canada). If details about evidence that led police to link Kam/Bryer aren’t released I think this case will grow into a divisive example of why people will choose to either support the police or worse eschew them.
Staff Sgt. Janelle Shoihet from the RCMP in B.C. weighed in.
“We had, in advance of naming Schmegelsky and McLeod as suspects in the homicides in northern BC, received numerous tips from the public in relation to Derek Whisenand’s possible presence in Canada and a probable link to the homicides,” she said.
“The RCMP does not consider Whisenand a suspect.”

No, there's never been a probable link of Whisenand to murder of the couple.
Social media jumped on theory when KM/BS were considered "missing" but RCMP never found a link.
In fact, the article cited is to debunk these lingering theories.
