    I'm from BC and this was a HUGE case, it's hard to understate the extent to which the entire country was following this manhunt day by day. One aspect that doesn't fully come across in the video though is just how isolated all these northern locations are. We're talking about communities where there's literally just one road in and out of town and the next settlement is hours away. On some of these northern roads you can go hours without seeing another car. So during the manhunt there was a real sense of fear because if you ran into them, there would be nowhere to run and no one to help. That's also what makes the Highway of Tears so unnerving too.

      I'm in New Zealand and even all the way down here, the case was massive. First there was hope for the boys to be found somehow safe and unharmed, then the uncertainty, then the sickening realisation they weren't missing, but on a rampage of sorts. We all felt so much for the families affected, and even the boy's father; he was in so much pain as well. Horrible, horrible situation all around.

When we arrived to the turn off to Gillam, we were met with officers in tactical gear. Our truck was visually searched. For the next few days our lives were turned upside down. Gillam was basically shut down. Everyone stayed in their houses. Very unusual for this outdoorsy community. Billy is a hero!

Asking why they did it is important to prevent things like this happening again.

A RCMP agent who went on 2 massacres across Nova Scotia in April 2020. He was dressed as as RCMP Officer and driving A RCMP cruiser while committing 23 murders in 13 hours!!!

      Too bad the RCMP almost NEVER do any press conferences when the thousands of native women and children went missing over the past 40 years...
      We NEVER see it on the news, and it almost NEVER makes the news papers, but if it does it's on he last page, and so small it barely registers as another missing native woman...
      The RCMP belittle and gaslight the natives family into silence, telling the public she is a drunk, addict or prostitute, with zero evidence, if they dare to do a press conference and make the racist cops look bad.
      Should we Canadians expect anything less from a police force that was originally created for the harrassment, control and genocide of natives???
      Sorry news lady, but there are thousands of women gone missing on the highway of tears over the past 40 years....but only 40 white women....😢 I guess our women do not matter, because they ain't white...and the genocide and government lies, RCMP cover up continues...

    They wouldn't have solved this case without Billy. By police not offering Billy the safety gear they were wearing themselves on that boat tells me that the police had a lot more faith and confidence in Billy than they had in themselves. Because of Billy's knowledge and expertise, the families affected by this case were able to learn the truth about what happened to their loved ones.

    This one, especially, makes my heart hurt just a little more than others because it feels so much more “personal” I guess? Chynna and her family are from our neck of the woods (Charlotte, North Carolina, USA) and a few of my clients (I’m an esthetician) personally know her mom Sheila. From what I’ve garnered, when this tragedy comes up, she’s a true Southern belle and one of the sweetest women you’ll ever meet, she went through this horrific senselessness with such grace and the things she’s done in the name of her daughter (like doing a 5K) would make her so proud if she were still around. Chynna used to also work as a server at one of my husband’s favorite brunch spots, so she could have served us at one point, I don’t remember, I don’t ever want to automatically think or say yes and it not be true. For some reason, that would feel a little dirty, I don’t know, I’m weird. Their love story was so beautiful yet tragic. It makes me feel a little less sad to know at least they got to meet and love one another for a time before their deaths. I hope their families get some kind of closure or answer, even a tiny clue as to why these terrible maniacs did what they did to those innocent amazing people.

Some creators must be seen and, in some cases, even begin these tragedies with gimmics, humor, or lengthy advertisements. It smacks of their need for attention and borders on disrespect. It feels as if they are covering these sad losses of life for personal gain. You keep the focus on the victims and share the information with the utmost respect.

From my observations..... modern Natives are the most out of touch with nature these days.I live right by the Morley reserve in southern Alberta and I see this shit all the time. Drive through any reserve in Canada and all you see is poverty, crime, rampant drug abuse and physical abuse. No natives are out enjoying nature, canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, hunting or fishing. They are all locked up in their homes drinking and abusing drugs while watching TV. First Nations were in touch with the wilderness and nature 150 - 200 years ago. Give me a break.

      There are many issues that happened in port Alberni that authorities refused to investigate.
      Bryer was abducted by his mother when he was 4 years old.
      He died July 28, 2019 as pre the revised autopsy report.

    As usual, spectacular coverage but oh, how sad and tragic. What a senseless loss of life. Well done to the hero in the tale, Billy.

    Well done. The reporting and production are excellent. I have confidence in the integrity of your reporting. RIP Chynna, and Lucas. The world could have used more of you both. Mr. Fowler (Stephan), it is my impression you raised a wonderful son who had too little time to enjoy the world. . My deepest condolences. My heart also goes out to Alan Schmegelsky...I don't know how a father can be strong enough to deal with what he also has to deal with. There seems to be so many good people caught up in this atrocity. A tragedy indeed.
