Canadian police said they believe two fugitives suspected of killing a North Carolina woman and her Australian boyfriend as well as another man have been found dead.
Canadian police said Wednesday they believe two fugitives suspected of killing a North Carolina woman and her Australian boyfriend as well as another man have been found dead in dense brush in the northern part of Manitoba province.
Police sent in specialized teams and began searching high-probability areas. On Wednesday morning, police discovered the bodies within 0.6 of a mile from where the items were found and about 5.6 miles from where the suspects left a burnt-out vehicle on July 22.“We are confident that these are the bodies of the two suspects wanted in connection with the homicides in British Columbia,” MacLatchy said.
A manhunt for the pair had spread across three provinces. The suspects had not been seen since the burnt-out car was found.The bodies were found near the town of Gillam — more than 2,000 miles from northern British Columbia. MacLatchy said there is a sense of relief for families of the victims and the communities in the area.
McLeod and Schmegelsky grew up together on Vancouver Island and worked together at a Walmart before they set off together on what their parents thought was a trip to Yukon for work.Police were investigating a photograph of Nazi paraphernalia allegedly sent online by one of the suspects. Schmegelsky allegedly sent photographs of a swastika armband and a Hitler Youth knife to an online friend on the video game network Steam.
