All this talk of accepting risk while travelling triggered a memory of a story that happened here in Manitoba a couple of summers ago - in the vicinity of where BS and KM were last seen.

These two (very lucky) dimwits who tried to paddle the Hayes with a fibreglass canoe made it on foot all the way from the Hayes River to Gillam, over 100 km through the dense bush and muskeg.

Should have watched this first.

Ha! He sure does.

He drunk wrote a book in 12 days, and is now trying to drum up publicity for it.

I’m sure it’s Pulitzer worthy.

Comments were open on CBC articles about this case before and now they too are closed up. At least on the last few that I've read. I even came and pointed out on here to go and look at some of them now you can't?

Comments are closed when they become abrasive or trolls become too engaged. I noticed that comments were taking a negative side with insults and harsh comments.

His soul was drunk, not that he was drunk.

What I read was from another article. Mentions his mother was afraid of his outbursts. And either the same article or another article has one of his classmates saying BS used to mouth off to teachers. So I guess his shyness thing is just a cloak.

Aha, thank you, National Post:

A former co-worker of Sweeney, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told the Post Friday that Sweeney often talked about her son at work. He had behavioural issues and she tried to give him everything he wanted, including video games, to the point of spoiling him, the former co-worker said.

But the relationship was rocky. “I recall her saying a couple of times that she was afraid of him because of his outbursts,” the former co-worker said. The boy eventually ran away from home and moved in with his grandmother.

If you ‘inadvertently’ helped two suspected killers escape, please come forward, RCMP urge

I believe I read somewhere here on WS that BS's mother was afraid of his outbursts. Thus he was shipped off to grandma.

Her co-worker said that, along with her buying him everything he wanted. Seems to me like she was clueless and thought material goods could buy love and obedience. It was stated that he ran away, not shipped off. Probably the truth is in between those two statements.

Bryer's father obviously has some mental health issues. I wonder if someone said "hey, you can get rich, sell them your story," meaning "get the newspaper to pay for an interview." Bryer's father tried to sell a drunk story. Maybe he simply didn't understand what it meant to "sell his story."

I’m not sure when he finished writing it, but the Daily Mail published this last night:

Thank you so much for finding that!

@gitana1, sadly yes there is such a document and it was allegedly written in 12 days while drunk.

For more info here are the gory details: Father of teen Canadian murder fugitive tries to hijack media frenzy to publicize his new book | Daily Mail Online
Thread last night discussed this a bit and someone posted a picture of the book cover.

Whole situation IMO is quite sad as this man is a victim too and seems to have well documented mental health issues via court orders from custody/divorce case.

His soul was drunk, not that he was drunk.

I don’t think that’s an actual thing, although he seems to think it is.

I tend to believe he was literally drunk.

...and this plot just keeps getting better and better.

I think the drunk writing one is the Plulisher.

Consistent rain falling here in Gillam today - the military’s Hercules aircraft is helping the search but may be hindered by lightning in the area. Police at the station tell me they’re now re-checking places they’re already checked. @9NewsAUS @TheTodayShow

Been trying to get it published since Oct 2018, apparently...

CBC footage of the train from Churchill shows a slow moving VIA passenger trail with no freight cars. That takes us back to the question of frequency of freight trains from Churchill to Winnipeg.

The remoteness and vastness of parts of Canada is indeed hard for anyone to understand/grasp. Even in less remote areas, like Southern Manitoba, people often to move to larger centres as they grow old for easier access for healthcare. That's part of the reason why some small town are dying off, few young people want to move to very small towns or farm and older people are often forced to move into somewhat nearby larger towns/cities.

Heck, there's a cougar roaming my city this summer and it happens regularly. You can't leave small children or pets alone in the fenced back yard. Not only that, a coyote tried to get my dog on a leash on a walk to the mailbox. In a big city. Walk tall and carry a broken hockey stick. It's tough out there.

The police called them missing persons, and the media reported it. No one reported them missing to police, as far as we know. In retrospect, this seems to have been a strategy.

I think the grandmother may have reported them missing. I think Bryer had been keeping in touch with texts and she may have asked the other family if they had heard from the boys. Who knows? so much goes on behind the scenes and the RCMP may have already linked it. They were reported as missing a few days before they were named as suspects. There had been a lot of speculation that there was a serial killer on the loose in northen BC and i think that was even before they found Mr. Dyck. The two missing guys from Surrey were linked to this as well in the beginning.
