CANADA - Lucas Fowler & Chynna Deese, and Leonard Dyck, all murdered, Alaska Hwy, BC, Jul 2019 #4

[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.

...“We have lost our dear Lucas Fowler, son, brother, grandson and friend in the most terrible of circumstances. To lose someone so young and vibrant, who was travelling the world and just enjoying life to the full, is devastating.

To know his beautiful girlfriend, Chynna Deese of Charlotte, North Carolina, also lost her life in this violent event is too cruel. All our love and best wishes go to Chynna’s family and friends.

We are all now travelling to Canada to be with our boy and to bring him home.
Our deepest thanks for all your love and care. At this stage, we can only move forward a minute at a time, and those minutes are moving so slowly.

Please share this with all those who may have crossed paths anywhere in the world with these beautiful young people.”

Is anyone reporting from the scene where the searches are?

Are there any military bases close to this? They have heat detecting radar for their helicopters I would think would be useful.

New CBC News video on the search in Gillam. Includes an interview with a wilderness outfitter in the area.

“Fugitive teens on the run in buggy, boggy terrain”

Have killing spree teens outsmarted cops again?
A visual to understand how remote Gillam, Manitoba really is. Just landed. Did see a number of RCMP officers who also just landed. #BCmurders #Manitoba @GlobalNational @globalnews @globalwinnipeg @cjo

For reporting from the scene, see the new CBC News video two posts above.

There are no area military bases and the RCMP have their own air resources.

Canada doesnt use the military for jobs like this. Our RCMP Emergency Response Team has been deployed. Since the RCMP spans from coast to coast they will keep relocating man power and equipment as needed.

I don't think most Canadians would want the military involved in domestic law enforcement. They're great in natural disasters though.

That' can't be entirely true, the military were used local to me to find a man on the run last year, with their helicopters. Our military is used for so many different things.

Search intensifies in small Manitoba town for suspects in B.C. homicides
“Police, right now, are potentially looking for a needle in a haystack,” he said.

Clint Sawchuk, the owner and operator of Nelson River Adventures, a tour company in the area, said the teenagers are up against dense bush, temperature swings, waist-high swamp water, moss, bugs, and animals, such as black bears and wolves.

“It’s tough going up here,” he said. “If they don’t have bug jackets, once that sun goes down the bugs are out like crazy, enough to drive you insane.”

If the pair attempts to travel northeast to the coast of Hudson Bay, Sawchuk said they may have to contend with polar bears."

Precisely. The RCMP is the rural police force for the four western provinces. They are well-trained and know what they are doing. They will certainly get military co-operation if they want it, but there isn’t even a base in the area.

Two questions I have I hope some here can address;

1) Is there anyone here in Northern Ontario, or elsewhere in Manitoba, not Gillam that can report an increased police presence in their area?

2) BS and KM have been formally charged in the death of LD. What evidence could LE have to charge them with considering (assuming) LE does not have the murder weapon in their possession to compare ballistics with?

Thank you in advance any and all.

The RCMP has loads of helicopters and provincial forces do too. Are you positive it was the military?
