Canada - Lucas Fowler, Chynna Deese, and Leonard Dyck, all murdered, Alaska Hwy, BC, Jul 2019 #21

[Strangeworld]

An Australian man and his American girlfriend have died in suspicious circumstances in Canada, sparking fears they may have been murdered.

Lucas Fowler is reported to be the son of senior NSW police officer, Inspector Stephen Fowler. He was found dead alongside his girlfriend, North Carolina woman Chynna Deese, in British Columbia earlier this week sparking fears of foul play.

Chynna’s sister Kennedy Deese wrote they pair were “homicide victims along a remote stretch of highway in Canada while on a road trip.”

An older style blue mini-van the pair was believed to have been travelling was found at the scene.

Canadian police are looking for anyone who saw the vehicle or offered assistance. They’re also appealing for anyone that travelled the stretch of highway around the time of the discovery to come forward, according to a RCMP media release.

@NJSleuth91 excellent article you found! I agree with @Zella it sounds perhaps like Bryer was positioned lying down and Kam was sitting upright perhaps against a tree or a stump. It also makes me wonder if Bryer had the bigger caliber gun of the two and the recoil through him back a few feet. Or perhaps Bryer was standing when he shot himself and Kam was sitting? It does sound like there was some preparedness too in terms of gear. I wonder if Bryer gave Kam one of his camo jackets? Or he did have his own? I wonder if it was count of three or one of them just randomly did it and there was a few minutes of horror and hesitation and; "Oh my god what I going to do now?" If so, who went first? If Kam was sitting, I'm thinking it was him. Then perhaps Bryer got scared, realized how real this was and started walking round in circles, talking to himself and then eventually picked up the gun and did himself. What an absolutely terrifying situation. Even doing it simultaneously. But even more so if Kam just shot himself with no indication. Even after they had made the farewell video. Do we think there's any possibility Bryer asked Kam to shoot him because he was too scared? Or vice versa? Just.. unbelievable. Reading this makes me start to wonder if they actually did make it Bryer's Birthday..

Global BC will have live coverage.

Thanks.

Great find, @NJSleuth91 ! Such a well written, detailed and informative article. I still can't wrap my mind around any of it though.

Yeah that's what it sounds like.

It does sound like there was some preparedness too in terms of gear. I wonder if Bryer gave Kam one of his camo jackets? Or he did have his own?

He probably had his own because they both played Airsoft, and they took all their belongings with them on the trip. From what I've heard, Bryer's camo outfit on the hardware store video was actually an Airsoft outfit.

I wonder if it was count of three or one of them just randomly did it and there was a few minutes of horror and hesitation and; "Oh my god what I going to do now?" If so, who went first? If Kam was sitting, I'm thinking it was him. Then perhaps Bryer got scared, realized how real this was and started walking round in circles, talking to himself and then eventually picked up the gun and did himself. What an absolutely terrifying situation. Even doing it simultaneously. But even more so if Kam just shot himself with no indication. Even after they had made the farewell video.

My feeling is they planned it and it was count of three, because they made the goodbye video, which means they were both committed to doing it. However, just because they both did the count of three, that doesn't mean they both actually pulled the trigger at the same time....

Do we think there's any possibility Bryer asked Kam to shoot him because he was too scared? Or vice versa? Just.. unbelievable.

I don't think so because the police have always said they shot themselves.

Reading this makes me start to wonder if they actually did make it Bryer's Birthday..

It would be insane if they did because the searchers were right there. But they really didn't seem to be that badly decomposed.

Wikipedia is saying they died by handguns.

Wikipedia is saying they died by handguns.

It's said that for a while. There's no source cited and it's never been stated anywhere else in the media. I don't think there's any evidence backing it up.

Beardy says in the article that they saw KM first and they recognized him by his beard, so, at least his face wasn't too badly decomposed.

As an off-reserve First Nations Canadian, I am very proud of Billy Beardy. <modsnip>

I agree, the true expert in that landscape, and so dignified. Not someone who sought out media attention or bragged about himself. I hope he and his family stay well.

 

[cartman]

Billy Beardy is a hero. And to think how close he and his family were to KM and BS when they found the Rav4 on fire... it’s eerie to think about because it’s seems Mr. Beardy is a big reason that the bodies were found.

The Globe and Mail article (thanks for posting @NJSleuth91 ) provided a lot of info, I’d be surprised if we get much more in the news conference.

Wikipedia is saying they died by handguns.

Lots of errors on Wikipedia past and present...not a reliable site imo.

On another note, anxiously awaiting the news coverage!

 

[Sillybilly]

Global needs to define "shortly"

 

[JuneBug67]

I wonder if the delay means the technical briefing ran/is running long.
