Here's a twisting thought: What if Bryer has not killed anyone in this thrill trip? What if Kam is the one who executed all the murders?It's very interesting that this behavior from Bryer's dad seems to have continued over a long period of time, and possibly with multiple targets of the harassment (?) The reason why I mention this is I see obvious parallels between this and the threats Bryer made to kill others and then himself...perhaps this is where he learned this behavior from.
Having said that - MOO I feel that AS is broken - it began when he was denied seeing his only child back in 2005. The harassment charges as I understand were toward his ex's BF. So think about it - here is a dad who has a son and is banned for non-murderous reason from seeing his own flesh and blood. Meanwhile he is likely paying the ex child support through the whole time.
Then we learn the relationship between son and mother deteriorated, he can't go live with dad because he's not of 'age'. He stays with grandma - probably his only ever bit of stability - but grandma is older. Meanwhile he is now likely very restricted from seeing his father - who would likely love to have him but the court laws don't allow him custody. He gets to the age of 16 and pretty lost in his home upbringing, quit school around that time he goes to stay with dad for the first time in his life, only for 2 months. He returns to PA for a number of reasons: 1. His bff is there; 2. An Alternative Program has been worked out for him to complete his education;, 3. The absentee Mom must have him back in PA because she won't get the support payments from dad.
Skip to 2019 - AS's son graduates, he can finally build a relationship with his son because he's 18 and mom can't get any more child support payments and can't interfere in her son rebuilding relationship with dad. Dad sees some sunlight in his life. Not less than a month later, his son has slipped through the cracks of life and Dad never will get the chance to make up the years he was kept from his son. Then, a truck/camper burns. No doubt the RCMP tracks the vin to Kam Mcleod's parents. They tell them who Kam was also with and give the RCMP the current 'custodians' of Bryer - his mother and grandmother. The RCMP call them because they have the legal guardianship. That is why the RCMP likely didn't contact Alan Schmegelsky. HOWEVER, what happens? Neither the ex wife or the grandmother have the courtesy to let Bryer's dad know his son is missing - he learns in a newspaper. If the media knew how to track his dad down, sure as hell the ex wife or grandmother did too.
Personally speaking, if it was my son - I'd probably have a nervous breakdown or wish I was dead right now. I really really believe AS is hugely broken man, and for many reasons he can't be faulted. He's not crying fake tears. Never mind the history but to have to acknowledge world wide "My son is the most hated man in Canada" - is the most heartbreaking words I've ever heard from a parent of a child who is a murder suspect and now dead.
