(c) Make a plan and equip yourself accordingly and then get the hell off the grid and live happily ever after. Not all criminals are as naive and haphazard as these two and many are infinitely more dangerous. If they weren't aware that getting off the grid up north was an option, they might be...

I would think investigators have learned A LOT about the north and how their techniques work or don't work. I also think that the safety and well-being of residents in remote and relatively 'unserviced' areas needs to be reviewed. These two were able to travel under the radar for a long time...

SBM BBM Glad I am not the only one! I also joined Websleuths because of this case, it is far better than trying to discuss things on the comments section on CBC! In real life I have also started to pay more attention to my surroundings, things I see and hear. Not in a suspicious, paranoid...

I seem to recall from my wilderness first aid courses that more people die of hypothermia at temperatures at around freezing or just above freezing than at extremely cold temperatures.

On Google Maps it looks like there is a big dam between that location and the Hudson Bay. From my (very limited!) experience of river searches, there is quite a bit of science to locating a person or thing in a river. They can analyse the conditions and make a pretty good guestimate of how far...

I bet they did! And then ate half of that pork chop! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

Thanks for the clarification :-)

Not to belabour the book thing but do regular people just up and write a book about their lives to be published for the whole world to read? I can see a bit of a biography to pass down to your future generations at some point might be a valid reason. I guess its not the fact that he wrote the...

That one interview probably was an ambush of sorts where he said more than he should have, can't really fault him for that one. The thing that grated me was when he self-published a book. That wasn't an ambush, that seemed like attention-seeking. IMHO.

In some ways I'm glad there is not so much coverage about this man right now. It bothers me to no end when media people hound and harass victims' families, ringing their door bell, calling their home number, take pictures at funerals, posting sound bytes from neighbours and coworkers and their...

BBM Not sure of the exact relation between the Dad and the Grandma, its possible that they weren't on communicating terms (i.e. if the Grandma was the mother of his ex-wife.) It would have been very easy for BS to bluff everyone knowing full well that there are rifts. Lying about his...

BBM This!

I've been to the north many times to visit a good friend in Yellowknife and there are some interesting characters with interesting stories in that town. Wasn't meant as a slight against anyone, was just an observation that different regions of the country do have very different cultures and if...

But "ghost town" sounds waaaaay more sexy than "relocated construction work camp."

Sorry, I didn't know this was a taboo subject …? I shall never mention it again (except to say that butter chicken poutine is just wrong IMHO.)

Thanks for clarifying that.

I think the culture in the north is a bit different than what you might think. A lot of odd-ball characters move up there to get away from normal society so they can be their quirky selves in peace. In turn, they don't ask questions of other quirky people. Kind of a live and let live...

The witness recanting her story would make sense on why that person of interest just sorta dropped off the radar.

That is weird! Being a long weekend, especially today being the Monday of the long weekend, normally they are all over the TransCanada … especially the AB border to Calgary! Even if the RCMP have deployed more resources than normal to some regions, they are still patrolling the rest of the...
