chances are slim that it was an animal. If it was a bear or animal they wouldn't be found close together the bear would get one and the other person would run. It's suicide in my opinion.

I asked her if the RCMP have any ideas on motive. She couldn’t give an answer and suggested we talk to B.C. RCMP for details on what police found in the suspects’ homes.

 

[Spy Versus Spy]

Incredible.

From Presser:

Assistant Commissioner Jane MacLatchy, commanding officer of the Manitoba RCMP, made the announcement in Winnipeg at 3:00 p.m. ET.

-While there were no confirmed sightings since July 22nd, LE kept going as they knew they needed that new evidence

-Friday, August 2nd critical evidence found on the banks of the river directly related to the suspects

-At last able to narrow down the search

-High probability search immediately occurred

-Located in the bush this morning, 2 male bodies within 1 km of where the evidence was found; 8 km from burned vehicle

-Autopsy in Winnipeg to determine COD for 2 male bodies believed to be suspects, waiting for confirmation that it is them

Q & A:

-Not sure how long they have been dead - waiting for autopsy results

-Confident it is them - waiting for autopsy results

-Specialized RCMP Officers found them doing a foot search

-Can't speak to injuries

-Certain amount of relief and hopefully the residents of the surrounding area can feel safe in the woods now

-Very, very dense brush, difficult, thick brush, no trails where the bodies were located

-Questions regarding costs, logistics - don't have answers now

-Cannot go through the brush arm and arm, it's too thick

-Smaller grid search was able to be done once the key evidence was found

Bittersweet news.

I wonder if they will release details or not, as there will be no trial?

 

[SiciC]

It's sad all around really, no answers for so many families. The victims and the suspects families. What a waste. Atleast they've been found, thats some sort of closure I suppose.
jmo.

Hypothermia, stripping off clothes and fleeing into the bush. No matches to start a fire; left those behind at the Rav4. IMO. They may have gone in the river first.

 

[MistyWaters]

The Mounties always get their man (or men) !

You were very quick on that! I was wondering who’s say it first.

 

[missy1974]

So I'm guessing suicide or elements in this case. Unfortunately, we don't get much more information, hopefully we will learn more after the autopsies.

 

[Only4Justice]

Thank Goodness they were found. Just hope there is some evidence that they were guilty of murdering L&C.

 

[Massasauga Rattler]

So proud of the RCMP! I had moments of doubt, I admit. So glad this seems to be over.

Happy it's over, but I have to reserve any pride for the RCMP. They got some luck, albeit through persistence, which helped them. However, there were quite a few screw-ups along the way, IMO, that really could have just as easily blown this case or resulted in further civilian deaths.

 

[NaanOfYourBusiness]

the suspects may have been discovered. pending autopsy and identification per RCMP presser that just concluded.

 

[Massasauga Rattler]

chances are slim that it was an animal. If it was a bear or animal they wouldn't be found close together the bear would get one and the other person would run. It's suicide in my opinion.

Not if one tried to fight off the bear that was tearing at one of them.

 

[TTF14]

Thank God this is over for the people of Canada. I wish the families of the deceased could have gotten better justice, though.

Would love an updated map of bodies location in relation to items found/Rav4.

Also, morbidly I want to know how they died, was it elements/animal/suicide, and maybe photos of the location of the bodies.

Autopsy results will be coming in a few days I think. My guess is either suicide or died of hypothermia huddled together for warmth.

 

[derweezy]

Mounties didn't get them, the elements did.

While it may be true that the elements got them, the Mounties knew where they were (approximately) and made escape impossible. In my opinion you have to give a lot of credit to the RCMP and community of Gillam.

 

[bestill]

So much for a blaze of glory, glad those two are history. Can't wait to hear how and how long they've been dead. I suspect they didn't last long.

 

[pugmom]

I'm so glad they were found. I have senior relatives who are getting ready to travel in a few days and I've been worried sick about what could happen. But also I feel a little torn. I would have liked to have seen them captured and held accountable. I'm not sure we would have ever gotten answers, but it would have been nice to get some justice. But, all in all, glad they're gone so they can't hurt anyone else.

 

[Massasauga Rattler]

Now let's see how long it take for the first movie to go into production...will make for quite a script.

 

[NJSleuth91]

Thank God this is over for the people of Canada. I wish the families of the deceased could have gotten better justice, though.

Agreed but at least their last days/hours were probably unpleasant
