Chad should be easy to recognize if he's walking around. I wonder if the vehicle is his or a rental? Does he live in the Whitehorse area or in BC where the vehicle is registered?

Does anyone have more info about where his car was found? I didn't look very hard, but it looks like the Alaska Hwy hits a junction near that area. His car was towed after 24 hours, facing East, somewhere here?

He was from BC ... where in BC? Where was he heading? What was the purpose of his trip?

"Some years ago, Gord Allison’s wife Roberta was taking a course at Yukon College and needed a topic for one of her papers, so he suggested the old Kluane wagon road. In the early days, it connected the town of Whitehorse with Kluane (better known as Silver City today) on the shores of Kluane Lake." (link)

The Alaska Hwy seems to be the same road as the Kluane Wagon road, or it is Haines Hwy. It almost looks like the vehicle was in a populated area.

I'm curious. Was this man's car towed from a populated area 24 hours after his vehicle was parked facing East near the Alaska Hwy at Kluane Wagon Road? Regardless of his half-leg in the Yukon, was his car in a town, or the middle of no where? Seems like a town ... so how did he disappear in a town?

At km 1474 to 1476, Bell Maps indicates the vehicle would have been located east of Haines Junction and west of Takhini Hot Springs.

Hard to find km markers, but from a visual comparison of the above map and this one, I think it's possible the vehicle was found somewhere between Champagne and Stony Creek Camp.

What is the link between the dead man and the missing man? Proximity of last sightings or what?

More info would be helpful! Do they have any video proof of life? Were these men friends or acquaintances (or did they have some in common)?

Do they think CM is still alive or also a potential homicide victim?

'died suddenly' is a weird way to word it.
