Two Canadian teens that were reported missing are now considered suspects in the murders of tourists Chynna Deese and Lucas Fowler, who were found shot dead earlier this month in British Colombia.
They are also wanted in connection with the death of a man found about one mile from a burning pickup truck, Global News reported. The man was not identified.
Police originally were treating the two young men as missing persons, saying they were going toward Whitehorse, Yukon, to seek employment.
“If you spot Bryer or Kam, consider them dangerous. Do not approach. Take no action and call immediately 911,” Royal Canadian Mounted Police Sgt. Janelle Shoihet told the news outlet.
The separate discoveries of three bodies and a burning car with missing occupants shook rural northern British Columbia. Murders are rare in the remote region.
The burned vehicle belonged to McLeod and Schmegelsky, both of Port Alberni, British Columbia.
Police said Tuesday they were still working to identify the male body that was found nearby their burned-out vehicle, but said he appeared to be in his 50s or 60s. They released a sketch of the man, with a heavy build with a grey beard and grey hair, and asked for public help in identifying him.
Fowler and Deese were found shot dead along the Alaska Highway near Liard Hot Springs.
Fowler, the son of a chief inspector with the New South Wales Police Department, was living in British Columbia and Deese was visiting him.
Jayden Iversen, who just graduated year from Port Alberni Secondary School, said he has friends who know Schmegelsky.
