glorybebe 6,812 #1 Posted July 23 The deaths of three people and the disappearances of two young men within a week amid the wild expanses of Northern B.C. have set residents on edge. RCMP have cautioned against linking the cases but have not entirely ruled out a connection. Officers have also acknowledged "growing community concerns" about the homicide investigations. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/b-c-killed-missing-alaska-highway-1.5220571 pretty scary. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glorybebe 6,812 #3 Posted July 23 They are thinking that this may be unrelated to the Highway of Tears. New police release is: B.C. RCMP say they have received “a number of tips” regarding a person of interest in the case of two tourists killed in northern British Columbia. RCMP say investigators are aware of Derek Whisenand, a Texas man who crossed the border into Canada sometime around June 24. https://globalnews.ca/news/5671918/rcmp-texas-murder-suspect-tips-northern-bc-double-homicide/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

susieice 25,218 #5 Posted July 23 I hope the authorities can put together what happened to these people soon and no one else is harmed. It's scary to think there may be a serial killer on the loose. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder where these two suspects could be. Either way, they've wasted their lives if they've killed these poor people. Hope they find them quickly. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh that's great news that they're closing in. Oh my, that poor father. It's not how average Dad's bring up their children to be running off and killing random people, so I can only surmise it would be absolutely devastating for him to think his son has done this and on a suicide mission to boot. Very sad situation all round including the victim's families too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earl.Of.Trumps 5,437 #15 Posted July 26 Bingo, @pixiii and @susieice. It's every parents nightmare for their kid to grow to be a serious felon. And this can happen to parents that have several other children that are perfectly good, responsible people. Case in point was the unibomber, Ted Kaczynski, who was actually turned in by his mother and brother. You never know! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pallidin 9,937 #18 Posted July 27 The area the suspects are considered to be in is "swamp" The bugs in that area are brutal and extremely aggressive... which includes horse flies. My understanding is that if they are in the swamps, survival is unlikely unless they go back into dry public spaces. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
