Two B.C. Teens are Suspects in Three Murders

Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky were travelling from Port Alberni, B.C. to Whitehorse to find work. They stopped having contact with their families and were later thought to be victims of foul play when their pickup truck and camper was found burning in northern B.C. An unidentified man was found dead 2 kilometres away. Now, in a bizarre twist, they are suspects in the murder of an Australian man and his American girlfriend who, were found shot dead in a ditch by the Alaska Highway, and the still unidentified man 400 kilometres away. Someone spotted them in a different vehicle in northern Saskatchewan.

And here I thought the two poor boys were victims of a serial killer and buried in a forest somewhere but it looks like they may be the murderers. I wonder if they ended up killing Fowler and Deese when they tried to rob them. Good work for ruining their own lives.

I always think some version of:

How can people fuck up so bad in less than 20 years!

by Anonymousreply 2July 23, 2019 11:10 PM

Exactly, R2.

I wonder if motels, restaurants, gas stations, etc. up north use credit cards and debit cards or if a lot of places still require cash. I would think the former because people don't want to carry a lot of cash around. Whatever Fowler and Deese had wasn't worth killing them over. The two teens are incredibly stupid fuck ups. Maybe because of the remote location, they thought the police would never figure out who the killers were.

Northern BC has had a bad reputation for a long time, since before those two teens hit puberty, if not before they were born. People, particularly women, have been vanishing long enough and consistently enough to raise suspicions of a serial killer being active in the area.

Maybe the place's reputation is starting to attract aspiring young serial killers, it's a thinly populated area where nobody will find the bodies for a long time, if ever.

by Anonymousreply 6July 23, 2019 11:22 PM

Yes, I heard about many suspicious disappearances there before. Serial killer was the first thing I thought of.

It's just a matter of time before someone recognises McLeod and Schmegelsky and they're arrested. They can't be that good at disguising themselves and hiding out. They have to buy or steal food and gas sometime.

I can't believe they've evaded the police this long. The SUV that was found burning near Gillam in northern Manitoba was the one they had been travelling in. If they're hiking and hiding in the wilderness around Gillam, it's challenging terrain -- lots of thick bush, marshes and tons of biting insects. Hopefully mosquitoes and black flies are eating them alive right now.

Why was the SUV burning?

Deliberately destroyed? Or overheated?

Yes, R15, but one former RCMP officer said that she didn't know how they could survive unless they have a tent, lots of bug spray, very good hiking boots, a hat, gloves, etc. You sink down into the muskeg. They wouldn't dare put up a tent.

Maybe a drone will eventually spot them.

The guy who was killed is cute, very heartbreaking.

It's odd that Schmegelsky was living with his grandmother in Port Alberni rather than his Dad.

They kept saying that Schmegelsky was the quiet one so I assumed that the killings were McLeod's idea and Schmegelsky just followed him. However a former friend of Bryer's said that when they were playing violent video games, he said can you imagine doing this for real. A different acquaintance of Bryer's said that he wanted to form a militia. Very odd kid.

I thought it might have been robbery, R44, but that was before I heard that Bryer said to his friend can you imagine doing this in real life when playing violent video games. They might have done it just for fun to see what it's like to kill innocent people.

The longer this drags on, the more I think they've already shot themselves. If they're still alive, they must be in pretty rough shape.

Of course they do. Canada has the same variety of people with warped minds as the U.S. eg. Paul Bernardo, Robert Pickton, Clifford Olsen, the guy who killed all those female students at the Ecole Polytechique in Montreal decades ago.

I suppose Bryer and Kam could have been hanging out and drinking with the Australian and his girlfriend when an argument broke out but the killing for thrills theory seems the most likely to me.

I thought I heard someone in Quebec had reported to the police they had seen Kam and Bryer. I assume it was an honest mistake, not mischief. The police stopped the two men, handcuffed them, questioned them for twenty minutes and then released them. It turns out they were tourists from Maryland. I can't find any article about this online.

R54 I highly doubt they will travel all the way to Quebec. Canadians hate bigoted Quebec. Quebecers force people to speak French and refuse to converse with people in English. Look up their language police if you don't believe me. Most Anglophone Canadians avoid the province at all costs. Why would they go there just to be treated as second class citizens?

A psychologist diagnosed Schmegelsky's father as delusional. He disagrees with the diagnosis. He has been in court numerous times for criminal harassment. Officials have not clarified to the media if the harassment was directed at his ex-wife. He has been homeless for the past two years. He didn't see his son at all between the ages of 8 and 16.

Actually Bryer and Kam were stuck in a muddy field in Cold Lake, Alberta when Tommy Ste. Croix, who was visiting his brother, helped pull them out. They gave him their real names. He assumed they were local teens going for a joy ride in their parents' vehicle. He could tell they were nervous.

No, they haven't been found yet, R73. The police are scaling back their presence in Gillam. A lot of the international press have left. The military plane they were using for the search has left. Maybe they're both dead (most likely, in my opinion) or they managed to get out of Gillam before the police were on to them.

Of course the corpse's will be ID'd as these teens and the case CONVENIENTLY closed with no charges.

Perhaps that is what the RCMP should do tell all their potential fugitives to stay perfectly still buried under brush, totally hidden from view, so they can find them.
