Deepest condolences for the loss of your son. I'm not sure which authorities I'm more angry with right now, our Canadian ones here or the European ones, they were all so absolutely heartless and useless!
I am so glad his parents were both still alive to find out he was found and was able to lay him to rest. So many stories get solved after the parents have died. His parents are remarkable people Bless them bless them
This is such a sad story that doesn’t get talked about much. I’m glad you’re covering it. I think they knew what happened to him and just left his family to suffer and wonder for 14 years.
The fact that 14 years later an employee that was there the day Duncan went missing...was also there a decade later when they recovered his body says a lot (plus how the employees were the ones to clean up his remains)..just goes to show how much the police and Ski resort owners trust their workers.And how lax they are. This really supports Josh's theory of multiple people being involved in the cover up.
I think if his parents had stopped searching, they'd never even been notified of him being found. I'm so glad they got to bring him home. Money talks...also keeps people quiet. I think it was a multiple people cover up. People were paid to keep quiet. Possibly even kept or put on the payroll for life.
I’ve heard this story on Mr Ballen’s channel. Very interesting case but I appreciate how MHP always goes a mile higher by advocating for the victims family and ways to be an active listener.
It's one thing to make a mistake that leads to a tragic accident... but to then cover it up and rob the family of a chance to grieve in peace... that's just inhuman
This case is absolutely HORRIFYING. I’m truly shocked at the behavior of the law enforcement. My heart breaks for him and his sweet parents. And the ski instructor is SO SKETCHY, the whole resort is at fault for this. Just so disturbing.
@@mike04574 - WRONG ! If it was an accident... the killer would have informed the police !!!!!! The reason the police covered-up the murder, is because the rich owner paid them off ! It was NOT an accident, because the workers did NOT check the slopes to make sure there were no skiers left. If the workers would have done their job correctly, they would have checked the slopes and been able to help him. If Elon Miusk would have used his money to hire the best lawyers money could buy... then the army of lawyers could have easily convinced the jury to convict !!!!!! This is no accident, damn it !!!!!! This was murder !!!!!! I believe in karma, baby ! KARMA... is the law of the universe ! and no one... absolutely no one can escape the jaws of karma !
I understand the father's grief but he doesn't have any right to blame everyone. To suggest anyone who goes to the ski resort to ski down the same slope as skiing over his son's grave is out of line. His son is neither buried there, nor should any outdoor recreation destination where someone's ever died, be turned into a memorial site.
Why would the instructor not tell him to not wear ski boots ? Kinda dangerous to let a beginner snowboarder go out alone without proper equipment… absolutely mind blowing this who thing !
Or they’re refusing to investigate anything that could bring negative attention to their town/city. I think there’s big money and power in this resort and they have a hold on the local police.
I live in a small Oregon town with less than 600 people. We have a very small convenience store, but our closest places to shop are about an hour drive. You have no idea how helpful it is to have your podcast to listen to on my long drives to run errands! 😊
As a Canadian, who also worked at a major ski resort, I am both appalled by the story, but not entirely shocked. The skiing/snowboarding industry is riddled with coverups and ethical issues. These companies make millions and millions of dollars yet their regard for safety is extremely low. When people think of Canada, they often think of the skiing and snowboarding experiences that the country offers; and therefore bad press is detrimental. So rather than doing the right thing and reporting any issues, it is quite likely that incidents get covered up and it pushed aside. My heart goes out to the victims family having to deal with this tragedy
I honestly never thought of skiing when I think of Canada ever. Didn't think y'all had ski resorts, claustrophobic cause 😂. But yeah, I wonder how safe some of that stuff is. I am always scared to go to one because I never down it, and 2, the ski lifts scare the mess out of me. Especially if they ever stop and you're in mid-air.
this is so sad. i definitely think this was a cover up, and it’s beyond imaginable and infuriating how badly authorities handled the situation. my heart goes out to his parents. 🥺🥺🥺
It had to have been more than one person. When you're closing down the slope for the evening, I'm sure there's a whole team of people working at once. And I'm sure it's an incentive to keep their mouth shut to keep their job since it's a small town with the slopes being the main employer.
This reminds me so much of the story of the guy that went cave diving and was never found. In both cases I believe the victims died accidentally and then the owners of the places covered it up to save their own skin and money. So sad that that was more important than human beings and their families getting closure.
This reminds me a tiny bit of a missing person case here in BC, Ryan shtuka- who was working/snowboarding at a ski resort for the winter and managed to completely disappear 6 years ago after leaving a house party with friends, it was only a 5 minute walk from the party to his residence and he somehow disappeared in that short amount of time and has never been found since even after extensive searches and in the summer when a lot of the snow has melted.. it’s assumed he maybe fell in a bank but it’s crazy to me how he couldn’t be found even that close to the town
I’m from Regina, SK, familiar with Saskatoon and old enough that I probably should remember this case. So, I’m shocked I don’t. Thank you so much for covering this one.
This has to be one of the most horrific ways to die RIP Duncan, you did not deserve this nor does your family deserve the runaround they got I am so glad to hear you are back home and in a proper final resting place.
This story is so unsettling and my heart hurts for his parents and all who loved him. I really pray there is an afterlife and that he is so happy and free. Thank you guys for covering important cases that may not be as known as others. I am looking forward to your documentary! I will share your trailer and get as many people as I can to become aware of that important case and the hard work you all put into it! Love you guys! ❤ happy holidays!!!
I heard about this case a while ago and I'm so glad you're covering it! It's so heartbreaking and infuriating and my heart and thoughts go out to all those that loved him.. Also I can't wait to see your documentary!! You guys keep doing such amazing things and I love seeing the growth! Sending positive thoughts and vibes to you all✌
Rest in peace Duncan. Very unsettling case. The coldness and audacity of the people his parents dealt with during the search and discovery of his remains is just astounding to me. I definitely will not be adding this resort to my travel list, to say the least.
This was so obviously a cover up, making it more infuriating that it was never investigated seriously. He deserved so much better and so did his family.
I'm a bit late, but I find it so hard to believe that multiple people are involved and NOT ONE of them has had the morals and integrity to come forward with this information, after watching the family suffer. I just can't get past that lack of empathy.
Ya I think no one involved had the morals to accept responsibility. They probably were more worried about getting in trouble/blamed for the accident than for the family to get closure so it kept them quiet
Pleaase do a video on the missing backpacker Theo Hayez in Byron Bay Australia 2019. There's a really informative 60 minutes on it, and I just know you guys would cover it really well. The family are still searching for answers and he's never been found. It's a very intriguing case with so many questions.
The police and the ski resort should be liable for some kind of compensation to the family! I’ve never seen such cold hearted responses from authorities! RIP Duncan, sending love to the family I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
I watch your videos regularly and I'm originally from Saskatchewan and it never suggested this video for me. I remember my family talking about this story. Thank you for covering it. It's so important.
Wow, what a sad story :( I live 2 hrs from Saskatoon, and I have never heard this story. I thought I've heard all the local true crime stories, I stand corrected ! Lots of love sent to the McPhersons 💐
I absolutely cannot wait for the 19th! I am having surgery and will be in the hospital the 19th so peace and quiet for me to watch 530 Days! Absolutely love all your content on all the channels!
My best friend goes skiing in Tirol and Innsbruck often. She and her family live outside of Munich. I’m sharing this with her and see if she’s heard about this story.
I just cannot imagine it being one person. Just the clean up of the blood in the snow I would imagine to be an almost impossible feat with a team of people, let alone a single person. I don’t think it’s possible to every know if it was an accident or not, but just based on lack of motive, I would lean it that direction.
I used to work at a ski resort in California and to be completely honest I think this is a cover-up involving multiple people. The reason I think this is because I worked at a smaller scale ski resort than the one referenced in the video and it requires so many people to keep a resort going. In just the rental space alone there’s sooo many employees, and in the mechanic department where people are handling the big machines there are obviously less workers but there are a lot of them who deal with the machinery on a daily basis which means someone other than the initial killer would have seen The remains left on the machinery. On a daily basis, even on a slow day I would handle 100’s of people in the gift shop alone! The sales were insane imagine how much money they would lose if people didn’t feel safe enough to go to that specific resort. It would certainly be an astronomical financial loss. People want to keep their jobs, & companies want to continue to make money so I believe it wasn’t just one person this is for sure a bigger scale cover up. Money will make people do crazy things.
Hey I’m from Saskatoon and I wanted to let you know that it’s not Reegina, it rhymes with female parts 😅 we even have a saying there “Regina rhymes with fun” 😜 love you guys so much though been listening for years now and I was so excited to hear that you were doing a case from my hometown keep up the amazing work!!
Wow this episode hits close to home..I can’t believe how much the “law enforcement” lied about him being off the trail when he was in the middle of it the whole time. And for the machine operator……something similar happened to my dad and that guy still has his job………they forced my dad to retire. Thank god he’s alive it could’ve been way worse but they covered their ends way more than they’ve ever helped him out since this.
I think when the mother had that nightmare and she woke up feeling something had happened to her son was at the point he died . People were involved in the cover up that is obvious and the police and that doctor did not do their jobs properly. I think they did not want bad publicity for the resort. Such a sad story and its the first time Ive heard about it . There needs to be accountability and his parents are owed an apology. I wonder if there's a go fund me to raise some extra funds for his parents if not could kendle set something up ?
I was thinking the same exact thing, and it gets even better when finding out that still wasn’t even used as an excuse, nope, it was glacial movement🤪🤪🤪 so ridiculous and frustrating. What an insult to his loved ones’ intelligence.
As a parent, I cannot fathom being without answers for so long, and then to be in this position after finally finding him. I hope this haunts the people who did it and never came forward.
I imagine the person responsible continuing to work there day after day, knowing that there's a body under the snow, because of them. Seeing how cruel many people were during this case, it's almost hard to imagine that they really feel bad about it... and it makes me wonder how much more they've covered up. All of them. Many people must be involved.
I will never ever understand why authorities, in any country, do not listen to family members when they say something is not right! As a parent to adult children, you still know your kids better than anyone else and you KNOW when something is not right!! Why does this always continue to happen!!
Hey guys, can't wait to watch the documentary! Just a quick question. I've noticed that the Mile Higher podcast, True Crime with Kendall Rae podcast and The Sesh podcast are all promoting the documentary, and there's a lot of " we " talk, but it seems that it's only going to be premiering on the True Crime with Kendall Rae channel. Just wondering if that's because it's the channel with the largest following or if there's anything about it that makes it specific to that channel. No hate, just curiosity. ❤
The cover up theory makes so much sense!!! 💯 This case is so chilling and bewildering. The lack of empathy, care and compassion from so many people is just mind blowing. Makes me definitely NOT want to ever support that ski resort, that’s for sure. I hope and pray someone comes forward one day and I pray Duncan’s parents are surrounded with comfort, love and peace after all they’ve been through. 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
Just finished watching, amazing episode. It’s so unfortunate how the police is there to help yet they just make the situations so much worse or just don’t do anything at all. Crazy that we are supposed to look up to the police
I think it is really important to understand that Germans and Austrians have a far more direct, blunt communication style. Additionally, the Austrian officer is speaking a non-native language in the interview and may not have said EXACTLY what he meant. I don't usually give cops the benefit of the doubt but we need a little bit more cultural nuance in this particular analysis.
Here we all are 20 years after his body was found and in agreement that this whole case stinks. Perfect strangers and amateur sleuths looking at it and saying that this family did not get the dignity and justice they were entitled to. How absolutely maddening that law enforcement could be so cold and hardhearted to the family. Not one official on the case did their job properly. What an absolute nightmare.
I find it hard to imagine one person being able to handle the clean up and cover up - I suspect a superior was also involved. I doubt it was more than two people though? God this was handled so terribly, his poor parents 😢
I wonder how many workers were on duty that day and I bet you could narrow down the people who operated the groomer and maybe if they put those people through questioning maybe someone would crack…
How crazy. But I know In the end I'm sure duncan knows just how much his parents love him. They really are the kind of parents everyone dreams of and they never gave up on him. I also believe it was a cover up.
If you're an English language student and don't know what "useless" means, look up Canadian police (mounted or not), and you'll have a very accurate idea of 'useless.'
Wow I live an hour from where this all happened and I am very into ture crime and never heard of that case. Thank you guys for talking about this. My heart goes to the family this must have been painful as hell but they never stopped fighting for their baby.
I for sure think it was more then one person. At least three. You need to think about how much of a mess that would make and on top of that there are more then just one person out there cleaning up at the end of the day. You can almost always see the slopes from the resort. How the police reacted is a big red flag and kinda stands by the reasoning they were involved. If it was one guy and he reported it and the police told that one guy it’s fine, even if the driver didn’t want to cover it up where else would he have gone to get justice.
Why on earth would the instructor allow him to be wearing ski boots on a snowboard??? How was he given the go ahead for that? Just screams unsafe :( this is so sad
Mile higher always relaxes me and puts me in a storytime, dream state lol I love putting it on to fall asleep or just close my eyes to listen too. It truly helps with my anxiety!
that's why i love thursdays. because after a long day, i can relax and unwind to this podcast and lights out as well. kendall and josh have soothing voices ❤ i usually lay in bed, close my eyes, listen and glance up every once in a while to see the pictures on the screen
My aunt spent some time in Alaska back in the 80s and she fell into a crevasse and broke her leg. Thankfully she was rescued and is fine now, but it was a close call.
CORRECTION : He was " MURDERED " doing what he loved to do most. He was murdered ! He did not die ! He was murdered ! Evil people can sleep at night without any problem. quote : " How can the person who did this, sleep at night ? " Evil people with evil hearts can easily sleep at night. Pure evil !!!!!!
I think it has to be more than one person, especially with the equipment rental. The additional gloves with him, and the cord around his leg, leads me to believe that he was placed there purposely, and then covered. I think an accident happened, and then they covered it up. I think he was, likely, and hopefully, already dead when they found him.
I hope he was, too. I am not familiar with skiing and snowboarding, but at a resort why did no one see him on this bunny hill if he was lying injured? Before the snowcat even came on the scene, didn't any other snowboarder notice someone down ?
Employees… From a shady Ski Resort… In a shady place… Exhumed a frozen body… FROM A CRIME SCENE⁉️ Unacceptable and outrageous. My heart is broken for his Mother and Father. May GOD give them peace in their hearts and minds.
Oh my word! These police officers are useless!! This story makes me so grateful to the Canadians. I was in a dog-sledding accident while there on holiday and they were amazing. May Duncan rest in peace. To anyone who was aware of what happened... you have lots to answer for!
Just Recently found your podcast I knew of Kendals youtube channel but not this one! I love the way you two present cases! Also off topic, Josh what flavor of Celsius are you drinking in this video? 😂
Did all the work themselves...thankful for the love of parents. Clearly hit by the machine...could be that the machine operator had no clue what they hit. But...knowing now that he was clearly hit by the machine, no matter how long, the resort needs to step up and make it right!!
Wow this is just horrible. Far too often if it were not for the families in cases of the murdered or missing, cases would never be solved or even looked into. I don't understand why some police stations just don't seem to fkg care enough to do a proper job. It just vexes me so much. A mother knows.
Kendall you’re my favorite UA-camr and I would love if you could cover the missing persons found buried in paupers grave behind the Jackson MS police department. I’m from Jackson but moved away due to crime and corruption in law enforcement. If you haven’t heard of this yet, please look into it! Thanks for everything you do for the families of the victims in your videos as well as NCMEC

@@deeeno6867That's really sad. I don't understand how anyone could choose to ignore it. I can't even remotely know how you get that bad.

Lack of discipline from Management down the chain of command.

Money talks...also keeps people quiet. I think it was a multiple people cover up. People were paid to keep quiet. Possibly even kept or put on the payroll for life.
My understanding is they weren’t notified, a friend of theirs saw it on the news and notified them.

I literally just wrote this! I work and come from a world famous sky resort in Europe. It’s shocking
This took place in the alps in Austria not in Canada, he was from Canada.

Thank you for featuring Canadian true crime, us Canadians so appreciate it! We certainly have our share of crime mysteries.
Agreed! Hi from Calgary! 🇨🇦
Agree! Ontario 🇨🇦
right! im from saskatoon
"austria is so safe. there's no crime. but we also have no time to investigate every crime in detail!" this makes perfect sense 🙃

Definitely sounds similar. I think Kendall made a video on Ryan a couple years back on her channel
Saw his Green Dino floating around on the internet the otherday :(
Reminds me of the cover ups on ship cruises. It’s all about money. So crimes „never“ happen in those places.
So sorry for Duncan and his family!
I’m from Regina, SK, familiar with Saskatoon and old enough that I probably should remember this case. So, I’m shocked I don’t. Thank you so much for covering this one.
This has to be one of the most horrific ways to die
RIP Duncan, you did not deserve this nor does your family deserve the runaround they got
I am so glad to hear you are back home and in a proper final resting place.
It was def a cover-up. KR summed it up best “He didn’t even try to GAF.” The smugness of law enforcement is absolutely infuriating.
I'm from Austria and have never heard of that case before! Thanks for covering it
Thank you for your comment and your honesty.
Can't wait for the documentary!!!
And the blades on the groomer appear to be about 6-7 inches apart coincidentally the same width of wounds and the damage to Duncan’s remains

The reason I think this is because I worked at a smaller scale ski resort than the one referenced in the video and it requires so many people to keep a resort going. In just the rental space alone there’s sooo many employees, and in the mechanic department where people are handling the big machines there are obviously less workers but there are a lot of them who deal with the machinery on a daily basis which means someone other than the initial killer would have seen The remains left on the machinery. On a daily basis, even on a slow day I would handle 100’s of people in the gift shop alone! The sales were insane imagine how much money they would lose if people didn’t feel safe enough to go to that specific resort. It would certainly be an astronomical financial loss. People want to keep their jobs, & companies want to continue to make money so I believe it wasn’t just one person this is for sure a bigger scale cover up. Money will make people do crazy things.
Hey I’m from Saskatoon and I wanted to let you know that it’s not Reegina, it rhymes with female parts 😅 we even have a saying there “Regina rhymes with fun” 😜 love you guys so much though been listening for years now and I was so excited to hear that you were doing a case from my hometown keep up the amazing work!!
First heard this on Mr. Ballen's channel and its nice seeing it here too covered a bit more in depth! Poor Duncan 😟
I thought this sounded familiar!
Wow this episode hits close to home..I can’t believe how much the “law enforcement” lied about him being off the trail when he was in the middle of it the whole time. And for the machine operator……something similar happened to my dad and that guy still has his job………they forced my dad to retire. Thank god he’s alive it could’ve been way worse but they covered their ends way more than they’ve ever helped him out since this.
I think when the mother had that nightmare and she woke up feeling something had happened to her son was at the point he died . People were involved in the cover up that is obvious and the police and that doctor did not do their jobs properly. I think they did not want bad publicity for the resort. Such a sad story and its the first time Ive heard about it . There needs to be accountability and his parents are owed an apology. I wonder if there's a go fund me to raise some extra funds for his parents if not could kendle set something up ?
These kind of stories terrify me.
what a literal horror story, i can’t even imagine 🥺 my heart hurts for his family and for him
You guys are truly wonderful.
Take a shot everytime Kendall says crevasse, you'll be wasted in 30 seconds.
How convenient that they had to use a groomer for the extraction and give them all the reasons they needed to explain the injuries and damage.
I was thinking the same exact thing, and it gets even better when finding out that still wasn’t even used as an excuse, nope, it was glacial movement🤪🤪🤪 so ridiculous and frustrating. What an insult to his loved ones’ intelligence.
So who were the employees that worked there at the time he went missing?
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. One person who know how to keep their mouth shut.
And a bunch of others who didn't want to know.
As a parent, I cannot fathom being without answers for so long, and then to be in this position after finally finding him. I hope this haunts the people who did it and never came forward.
I imagine the person responsible continuing to work there day after day, knowing that there's a body under the snow, because of them. Seeing how cruel many people were during this case, it's almost hard to imagine that they really feel bad about it... and it makes me wonder how much more they've covered up. All of them. Many people must be involved.
I will never ever understand why authorities, in any country, do not listen to family members when they say something is not right! As a parent to adult children, you still know your kids better than anyone else and you KNOW when something is not right!!
Why does this always continue to happen!!
Hey Mile higher crew no Julia hopes she's doing ok
This case makes me cry. I can’t imagine Duncan all alone …. Horrific.
Hey guys, can't wait to watch the documentary! Just a quick question. I've noticed that the Mile Higher podcast, True Crime with Kendall Rae podcast and The Sesh podcast are all promoting the documentary, and there's a lot of " we " talk, but it seems that it's only going to be premiering on the True Crime with Kendall Rae channel. Just wondering if that's because it's the channel with the largest following or if there's anything about it that makes it specific to that channel. No hate, just curiosity. ❤
Yes it’s because it will have the largest reach! But it was a group effort 😀
The cover up theory makes so much sense!!! 💯 This case is so chilling and bewildering. The lack of empathy, care and compassion from so many people is just mind blowing. Makes me definitely NOT want to ever support that ski resort, that’s for sure. I hope and pray someone comes forward one day and I pray Duncan’s parents are surrounded with comfort, love and peace after all they’ve been through. 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
Just finished watching, amazing episode. It’s so unfortunate how the police is there to help yet they just make the situations so much worse or just don’t do anything at all. Crazy that we are supposed to look up to the police
I think it is really important to understand that Germans and Austrians have a far more direct, blunt communication style. Additionally, the Austrian officer is speaking a non-native language in the interview and may not have said EXACTLY what he meant. I don't usually give cops the benefit of the doubt but we need a little bit more cultural nuance in this particular analysis.
Here we all are 20 years after his body was found and in agreement that this whole case stinks. Perfect strangers and amateur sleuths looking at it and saying that this family did not get the dignity and justice they were entitled to. How absolutely maddening that law enforcement could be so cold and hardhearted to the family. Not one official on the case did their job properly. What an absolute nightmare.
I find it hard to imagine one person being able to handle the clean up and cover up - I suspect a superior was also involved. I doubt it was more than two people though? God this was handled so terribly, his poor parents 😢
I wonder how many workers were on duty that day and I bet you could narrow down the people who operated the groomer and maybe if they put those people through questioning maybe someone would crack…
Kendall, Josh! YOU GUYS SHOULD DO A LONG EPISODE ON TARTARIA 💕💕
How crazy. But I know In the end I'm sure duncan knows just how much his parents love him. They really are the kind of parents everyone dreams of and they never gave up on him. I also believe it was a cover up.
If you're an English language student and don't know what "useless" means, look up Canadian police (mounted or not), and you'll have a very accurate idea of 'useless.'
If the police were really that bad you would expect Canada to have a very high crime rate, which it doesn't....
@@maniacmonsoon2831 if you just ignore the crimes then of course your crime rate is low
Wow I live an hour from where this all happened and I am very into ture crime and never heard of that case. Thank you guys for talking about this. My heart goes to the family this must have been painful as hell but they never stopped fighting for their baby.
I for sure think it was more then one person. At least three. You need to think about how much of a mess that would make and on top of that there are more then just one person out there cleaning up at the end of the day. You can almost always see the slopes from the resort. How the police reacted is a big red flag and kinda stands by the reasoning they were involved. If it was one guy and he reported it and the police told that one guy it’s fine, even if the driver didn’t want to cover it up where else would he have gone to get justice.
"because the crime rate is so low"
Me: spitting/choking on the coffee I just made
"TF"
Its so heart breaking all these sad stories so many people needing justice and answers. One day the truth will come out.
Why on earth would the instructor allow him to be wearing ski boots on a snowboard??? How was he given the go ahead for that? Just screams unsafe :( this is so sad
Mile higher always relaxes me and puts me in a storytime, dream state lol I love putting it on to fall asleep or just close my eyes to listen too. It truly helps with my anxiety!
that's why i love thursdays. because after a long day, i can relax and unwind to this podcast and lights out as well. kendall and josh have soothing voices ❤
i usually lay in bed, close my eyes, listen and glance up every once in a while to see the pictures on the screen
My aunt spent some time in Alaska back in the 80s and she fell into a crevasse and broke her leg. Thankfully she was rescued and is fine now, but it was a close call.
The way you're saying crevices 😂
I thought maybe I’ve been saying it wrong lol I was gonna Google it as soon as the vid finished lol
CORRECTION : He was " MURDERED " doing what he loved to do most.
He was murdered ! He did not die ! He was murdered !
Evil people can sleep at night without any problem.
quote : " How can the person who did this, sleep at night ? " Evil people with evil hearts can easily sleep at night. Pure evil !!!!!!
I think it has to be more than one person, especially with the equipment rental. The additional gloves with him, and the cord around his leg, leads me to believe that he was placed there purposely, and then covered. I think an accident happened, and then they covered it up. I think he was, likely, and hopefully, already dead when they found him.
I hope he was, too. I am not familiar with skiing and snowboarding, but at a resort why did no one see him on this bunny hill if he was lying injured? Before the snowcat even came on the scene, didn't any other snowboarder notice someone down ?
Employees… From a shady Ski Resort… In a shady place… Exhumed a frozen body… FROM A CRIME SCENE⁉️
Unacceptable and outrageous. My heart is broken for his Mother and Father. May GOD give them peace in their hearts and minds.
This the first time u cover someone who is my birthday twin my condolences go out to his family :(
Oh my word! These police officers are useless!!
This story makes me so grateful to the Canadians. I was in a dog-sledding accident while there on holiday and they were amazing.
May Duncan rest in peace. To anyone who was aware of what happened... you have lots to answer for!
Just Recently found your podcast I knew of Kendals youtube channel but not this one! I love the way you two present cases! Also off topic, Josh what flavor of Celsius are you drinking in this video? 😂
😂😂 I was looking at that too!! Lol
Did all the work themselves...thankful for the love of parents. Clearly hit by the machine...could be that the machine operator had no clue what they hit. But...knowing now that he was clearly hit by the machine, no matter how long, the resort needs to step up and make it right!!
This case is SO tragic and just wild ... My heart really goes out to Duncan's loved ones. 💔
was it ever determined if the injuries were prior to death or post mortem? I may have missed that ...
Wow this is just horrible. Far too often if it were not for the families in cases of the murdered or missing, cases would never be solved or even looked into. I don't understand why some police stations just don't seem to fkg care enough to do a proper job. It just vexes me so much. A mother knows.
I'm from saskatoon! When u said that city my jaw dropped! been watching u guys for years! :)
This trailer never gets old!

Kendall you’re my favorite UA-camr and I would love if you could cover the missing persons found buried in paupers grave behind the Jackson MS police department. I’m from Jackson but moved away due to crime and corruption in law enforcement. If you haven’t heard of this yet, please look into it! Thanks for everything you do for the families of the victims in your videos as well as NCMEC
26:01 If it’s a “low crime rate” you have the F-ing time!!!
Love how you guys cover these cases. I am South African and I watch this channel woh lihts out and TRC religiously. I wonder if you guys ship your March down here. I wouls love to be an active true crime consumer.
Wow what a frustrating case for his parents 😢 That poor boy😢
Listening to this straight from Saskatoon. Absolutely wild story !
Great show guys ❤
