There’s been nothing said the two went from Port Alberni to Alberta and then to northern BC in the 2 days. They’d have to drive virtually nonstop.
The direct route from Port Alberni to Whitehorse (not saying they ever intended to go there looking for work) does not pass by Laird Hot Springs, near where LF and CD were found. However indeed it’s possible they took the slightly longer route. I’m certain LE will know by know through traffic cam and cell tower data.

Good news! It's raining now, but by 6AM, York Landing should be clear & sunny!I don't know if there will be calmer wind conditions tomorrow... I'm in Saskatchewan and woke up to a big tree branch on my roof this morning... it was extremely windy all day and typically our weather heads east, right to Manitoba.
The information about shots fired came from the interview with the head of the Bear Clan Patrol...
Apparently it was posted in a Bear Clan's private msg group. It can be seen online. They were concerned locals were going after them.
This was hours ago though now. If they haven't finished searching the 'football field' sized area, I dunno what to say...
I'm feeling less and less confident about this sighting. A dog couldn't track them? the helicopters didn't help?
They were seen in Dease Lake on the 14th weren’t they? So I assume they took the shorter route. Port Alberni to Dease Lake is 24 hours driving. Surely after two days straight driving Kam McLeod was exhausted and needed to rest. If he didn’t then maybe severe sleep deprivation was a factor if he was indeed involved in the deaths of Fowler and Deese.
Edit: this was a reply to "Without starting a debate it is also possible that some residents don’t trust the patrol either."
musta forgot a click somewhere
I'm not from manitoba but I am anishinaabe, I'd venture to guess tiny, rural, isolated FN communities are a few orders of magnitude more comfortable with bear clan than RCMP.
Also not trying to start, and not interested in engaging in, any sort of debate on this topic but historical context matters. Generalizations will always have exceptions but I dont think its a stretch to say RCMP is not most FN folks favorite organization
As far as I saw, it was just one random person on Twitter who posted something like 'omg!I'm scared! shots fired!' and they didn't even live in Canada. Seemed to spiral after that with people saying locals were going after them, etc.
I wondered about direction of the wind - seemed odd that the dump is upwind of the town.
Rez security is my understandingDoes anyone know why the Bear Clan members were in York Landing in the first place?
Hmm, that makes me wonder if Bryer (inexperienced driver, at best) accidentally rolled their original truck (it had a big dent on the top in the "burned out" picture), which caused them to want to get another vehicle, the RAV4...Ignore the route, look at the dates. It's very likely that Kam taught Bryer how to drive before they left Port Alberni.

It was reported that the witness was at first surprised, and then checked the description of the suspects to see if it matched.
Interesting theory, has that dent been addressed anywhere else? I haven’t seen anything.Hmm, that makes me wonder if Bryer (inexperienced driver) accidentally rolled their original truck (it had a big dent on the top in the "burned out" picture), which caused them to want to get another vehicle, the RAV4...

lol I don't know if that is the dump. I still think it's the area to the east of the community, but I have looked everywhere on the internet and cannot find anything about the location, and google earth only lets us get so close.
24hrs of driving in 2 days is not difficult for one person. I’ve done it and it doesn’t cause “severe sleep deprivation” at all! It’s 2 days of 12 hrs of driving, 12 hrs to rest and sleep.They were seen in Dease Lake on the 14th weren’t they? So I assume they took the shorter route. Port Alberni to Dease Lake is 24 hours driving. Surely after two days straight driving Kam McLeod was exhausted and needed to rest.
