Missing teens now suspects in killings of Lucas Fowler, Chynna Deese, and unknown man

Two teens believed to be missing in northern B.C., have been named as suspects in the murders of Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend Chynna Deese, who were found shot to death on the Alaska Highway.

Fowler, 23, and Deese, 24, were gunned down sometime between July 14 and July 15. The couple was on a road trip to visit national parks in Canada.

Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, both from Port Alberni, who were initially reported missing are now suspects in the murders of the young tourists whose bodies were found near their blue Chevy van, July 15, on Highway 97 about 20 km south of Liard Hot Springs.

Four days later McLeod and Schmegelsky’s burnt-out truck was found on Highway 37 south of Dease Lake, more than 470 km away from the first crime scene.

BC RCMP said in a news conference on Tuesday, that McLeod and Schmegelsky are also wanted in connection with the death of an unidentified man in his 50s or 60s. His body was found 2 km south of the flaming truck at a rest stop. Police have released a sketch in hopes the public can help to identify him.
