Wreath placed where Prof Dyck was found, a beautiful spot overlooking Stikine forest.

Since the body was left in such a prominent spot, visible from hwy 37, I am now almost certain they wanted him to be found quickly, just like Lucas/Chynna on Alaska Highway.

But they thought that they had removed ALL identifiable information from these victims.

They thought LE would take many days to know their names, and would have to show sketches to the public.

Wow, that article (and the pictures) really touched my heart.

Beautiful wreath and I as I stated previously I love the eagle feather. It is so important imo to remember these victims not just the suspects.

You give a lot more credence to Fox than I do

Since you don't watch, and since I am just one province over from Manitoba, in Saskatchewan, I can tell you that I have heard more updates on Fox this past week than any other news. Those updates have included RCMP officers being interviewed.

I said this morning that I feel the reports have slowed here and where I am, I don't have a local paper, I don't have local news stations, and even FB stories have slowed down with people sharing the stories. Of course I follow all the major news stations, so I see those, but that's it. I'm concerned that the general public isn't going to be watching for them outside of Gillam when it's quite possible that they are no longer there JMO

Awwwww so sad. I really feel for the families of the victims.

This photo of the current search in Gillam seems ideal for these guys to hideout in. The aerial looks like a video game layout to me. I hope officers keep safe.

Not only are our officers combing through kilometers of dense northern forest, they’re also challenged with searching & clearing large abandoned buildings like this one (with approx. 600 rooms) at the Keewatinohk Converter Station Camp, near Gillam. #rcmpmb @manitobahydro

That seems like an insurmountable task...

The military plane flown in is a C130-H Hercules.

Here’s an AOPA* article about it: Lockheed Martin C-130H Hercules: Getting the job done

My guess is that it will be used for aerial photography/mapping of the area and that the photos will then be studied for signs of McLeod and Schmelgelsky, alive or dead.

The Gimli runway is gravel, but at 5,000’ plenty long.

FlightRadar 24 has no record of the arrival, just Calm Air commercial flights.

ForeFlight (as a pilot, I subscribe) is showing towering cumulus clouds for the area, with rain forecast leading to marginal conditions for visual flight without instruments. In other words, somewhat deteriorating conditions.

If someone wants and knows how to read them, I could post the METAR and/or TAF. Those reports should also be available on a few public sites. I wouldn’t bother trying to read a METAR or TAF if you don’t already know how. They are cryptic/condensed.

You mean analysed by computers using image recognition software. This is not a task for humans.

Thank you very much for posting this. Just beautiful.

Just was thinking ... do these two kids only have one handgun? If they had more firepower I could potentially see a scenario where they have hunkered down in the bush waiting for LE in order to enact some sort of ambush on LE.

Thank you very much for posting this. Just beautiful.

It wasn't my original post, but here's the original post and link in case others want to read it and look at the pictures... very touching, and a reminder that there are many out there who are loving and generous spirits...

I think it’s entirely possible that they only have one weapon.

Regardless of what they do have, I don’t see them being equipped for an ambush.

Atleast not one that has much chance of succeeding.

I doubt very much that they have a handgun altogether. More likely a rifle or shotgun.

Bear Clan Patrol to act as 'ambassadors' as Mounties hunt fugitives near Gillam, Man.


Favel said his group was responding to a request issued Friday by Sheldon Kent, acting grand chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs
"The [acting] grand chief called yesterday to ask if we could send some teams to provide security for some of the First Nations that don't have RCMP service," Favel said.

That seems like an insurmountable task...

If they are out there though, staying alive and in hiding would also be an insurmountable task!
