Note to add...if they could make it to Whitehorse in "a few days" they could have made it to Fort Nelson in 2. MOOYes I'll find it. Was just reading it.
RCMP not ruling out link between missing Alberni teens, body found near truck, double slaying
Schmegelsky’s grandmother, Carol Starkey, said McLeod and Schmegelsky left Port Alberni on July 12 to find work in Whitehorse. When they arrived in Whitehorse a few days later, they decided it wasn’t what they had expected. Starkey, who was last in touch with her grandson on July 13 or 14, isn’t sure what their plans were after that.
Also, they seem to have made it to Manitoba in 4 days.
