Who said that the Alaska highway had overhead noticeboards every few miles?
Did you see the smilie? But it does convey a point.

What I have seen is frustration from websleuths with the lack of information
I'm guessing you have never followed a Canadian case before? lol We have actually heard way more than I ever expected to hear. RCMP has stated they are still investigating Chynna and Lucas' murders, and the mere fact that there were no charges laid before the 2 men were found dead, tells me that they may not have had enough evidence to do so. So until they are done investigating, I am not sure how much more we will hear officially.
Hypothetically... (very hypothetically IMO)... what if there is a 3rd person involved? What if they can't connect the 2 to Chynna/Lucas murders? Canada still has laws in place that prevent the publication of details of crimes, and until they are certain, the integrity of the information/investigation has to remain.
What point is it meant to convey?Did you see the smilie? But it does convey a point.
I do feel you are being sarcastic and rude and a smiley doesn't change that fact!Precisely, and the world doesn’t turn on web sleuths
Who has brought a "distrust of one's own LE from one nation to another" here? What I have seen is frustration from websleuths with the lack of information

Yes which is why I didn't criticize the lack of information while there was a chance the two would be found alive. I thought it was prudent to not compromise potential juries. But now there will be no trial. So I don't know why even basic details of how the murders took place, or what links Kam and Bryer to them, are such a big secret now.
I still commend them for the search effort, actually finding these two against all odds, and nobody else getting hurt in the search effort. I do criticize them on the information flow, and the lack of timely alerts after Lucas and Chynna were found.
I have seen them, but ignored most, I guess that I thought the mods would remove! I try to focus on the posts that are providing theories and ideas and avoid the other ones if I can!And allegations that because they don't have details they want to know, that "secrets" are happening and that this "leads to coverups". There's more than one post - perhaps you missed them.

And braving the bugs and terrain etc. I can also imagine accommodation may have been an issue if there were more people than could be catered for comfortably!IMO RCMP are to be congratulated for their persistence and bravery in the case.
Going after shooters in the back of beyond requires no small amount of balls
In this regard, I have profound respect for our RCMP. They may not always satisfy public curiosity (because this is essentially what they would be doing in revealing details that haven't been confirmed via evidence), but are hanging in there until they have absolute confirmation of facts. No running off at the mouth to satisfy those who simply want to know. Of course, as a result, media outlets such as Murdoch's crowd spin away like drunken tops, making themselves look ridiculous, but at least the reliable papers and outlets won't publish anything not backed up by the professionals handling the case. The BC RCMP fellow gave excellent reasons for not being able to divulge details at the last press conference. I am satisfied with this although my sleuthing self would like to know more.
"Three cheers for some common sense?? I am still getting a huge hint of judgemental sarcasm here and think I will log off for the night as repetitive judgements and sarcasm do not help move the forum forward...Three cheers for some common sense.
I’m in New York, where I can’t turn on cable news at the moment without watching incredibly repetitive, nonstop coverage of murders that has no apparent purpose than filling up 24 hours every day to sell advertising.
At this point, I’ve turned it off, but apparently there’s a big audience for this, otherwise the cable networks wouldn’t be doing it. No doubt it makes amateur sleuths happy
A lot of the people criticizing the RCMP are Canadian. I don't know where they're getting this from that every person in Canada implicitly trusts the police.
I never said there was a coverup in this case. I just said in general lack of transparency leads to corruption and coverups. For the record I think they probably did all three murders. But I also cannot say for sure if the only evidence that has been presented is "trust me, we have evidence."

Toronto shooting survivor says details helped her as RCMP mum on B.C. cases
"VANCOUVER -- As the RCMP remains tight-lipped about why two young men may have killed three people in northern British Columbia, one of the survivors in Toronto's Danforth shooting says she's been following the story closely.
Danielle Kane said the Toronto police department's decision to release a detailed report on its investigation provided her with clarity about what happened the night she was paralyzed from the waist down and insight into the man who shot her.
"It helped me process the whole thing and it also allowed the public to kind of figure out, well, what are the things that kind of lead up to this sort of thing happening? What are the factors?" she said in an interview.
"I think that's important for the public to know, instead of just wild speculation, because that's what's happening now."

"They may need to be cautious and careful about how they put things, but I would hope to hear more from police about motivation because ultimately we want to prevent future incidents of this kind," said Neil Boyd, a criminologist at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C.
Boyd also defended the Mounties handling of the case, arguing that releasing too many details while the fugitives were still at large could have compromised the investigation.
Some details may also be shared with the affected families alone, if they are needlessly gruesome or involve personal information, he said."
This is going off the rails. There is no conspiracy/coverup and the RCMP in two provinces are not protecting the real killer. Nor did the RCMP kill McLeod and Schmegelsky.
The RCMP are also not in the business of satisfying the desire of US cable news for minute by minute updates no matter how premature or partial. Thank God.
Oh my, is the News of the World still going strong? That is just one level above the Enquirer. My parents used to get that delivered on Sundays so that my mum could read what she termed "the juicy stuff." There was also the Sunday Express and the Sunday Pictorial (which I believe became the Sunday Mirror in latter years). Thank heavens for papers that are not sensationalistic rubbish.When the 'Australian' news paper tells me the temp, I always check with the Bureau of Meteorology. That news paper and truth are complete strangers, on a par with 'News of the World'..
Apart from not releasing the fact that two people had been shot to death on the Alaska Highway, I believe the RCMP have done a most impressive job.
