The Fugitives: A Manhunt Drawing International Attention

View descriptionShare

A young couple found dead, a middle-aged man's body near a burnt-out camper, two teens missing after leaving home to look for work: these storylines would all converge in the remote landscape of northern British Columbia, culminating in a manhunt that would put the spotlight on a bizarre manhunt swirling in mystery, fear and warnings with journalists scrambling to keep up with the twists and turns.

BTS with CTV Vancouver host Penny Daflos discusses the disappearances of Australian Lucas Fowler and his American girlfriend Chynna Deese, the discovery of UBC lecturer Leonard Dyck's body and the missing persons case-turned manhunt of Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod with reporter Shannon Paterson. They delve into the challenges of a massive and constantly-changing case that put huge demands on our newsroom as the story grew broader and moved across the country.
