- 1:02Speaker 1: Take no action, and call immediately. Nine one one. Two
- 1:06Speaker 1: kids on an adventure? What who? The hay said that
- 1:12Speaker 1: had to be one of their fathers. Two kids, Two
- 1:15Speaker 1: kids on an adventure. You know, I just took the
- 1:17Speaker 1: twins to scout camp. Now that was an adventure. Would
- 1:20Speaker 1: hike back and forth to the mess house. We would
- 1:23Speaker 1: do woodcutting, and Lucy got on a horse. It was awesome.
- 1:28Speaker 1: That's an adventure. This so called adventure involves three dead bodies,
- 1:33Speaker 1: including a gorgeous American girl and her fiance, dead on
- 1:38Speaker 1: the side of the road. That is hardly an adventure.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for
- 1:45Speaker 1: being with us right now. A tiny village in the
- 1:50Speaker 1: sites the crosshairs of police on lockdown in a man
- 1:53Speaker 1: hunt for a serial killer. A group of suspects after
- 1:57Speaker 1: they're apparently spotted foraging for food. Did locals unwittingly help them?
- 2:04Speaker 1: Joining me an all star lineup? Jason Ocean's renowned defense attorney.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Karen Smith, forensics expert, founder of Bare Bones Consulting. Karen
- 2:12Speaker 1: Starts psychologists out of Manhattan. You can find her at
- 2:15Speaker 1: Karenstart dot com and joining me right now Crime online
- 2:18Speaker 1: dot Com investigative reporter Ellen Kilauren Ellen, I want to
- 2:22Speaker 1: start at the beginning. What happened July fifteenth, The bodies
- 2:27Speaker 1: of a young couple, Lucas follower and his girlfriend, China Geese,
- 2:31Speaker 1: who from North Carolina, who were traveling together on a
- 2:34Speaker 1: road trip or found shot to death in a remote
- 2:38Speaker 1: area of Highway ninety seven. Four days later, a burned
- 2:45Speaker 1: body is found about a mile away from a burnt
- 2:48Speaker 1: out pickup trucks about three hundred miles away. As a
- 2:53Speaker 1: matter of fact, AKA, take a listen to our friend
- 2:56Speaker 1: Matt Gutman at GMA. Is there anything that links these
- 3:00Speaker 1: two separate events, the decent Fowler murders and the death
- 3:04Speaker 1: of this unidentified man, not that we're aware of right now.
- 3:08Speaker 1: They're the link. They're the link. Police believe they first
- 3:13Speaker 1: murdered Dicon Fowler by their van and then three days
- 3:16Speaker 1: later the other man. They were less spotted in this
- 3:19Speaker 1: twenty eleven Toyota rav four. Police releasing this photo of
- 3:22Speaker 1: the pair in Saskatchewan Tuesday. They now tell ABC News
- 3:26Speaker 1: the teams maybe in Manitoba, over two thousand miles away
- 3:30Speaker 1: from the location of the murders overnight. Dis's brother, through
- 3:34Speaker 1: his grief, speaking to GMA, calling for justice. None of
- 3:38Speaker 1: this is going to change, not having the most beautiful
- 3:41Speaker 1: person in our lives anymore. But I just hope that
- 3:45Speaker 1: whoever did this can get what they deserve now. Police
- 3:49Speaker 1: tell us that they don't have any criminal record. These
- 3:51Speaker 1: teams weren't on their radar. They've traveled over two thousand miles,
- 3:55Speaker 1: mostly in rural Canada, but also in national parks, which
- 3:58Speaker 1: is why police are urging to remain vigilant, because these
- 4:02Speaker 1: two are considered armed and dangerous, and because there's this
- 4:05Speaker 1: massive manhunt on. Police tell us they could be just
- 4:08Speaker 1: one tip away from closing in on it. Did I
- 4:11Speaker 1: just hear Alan Colorin that they could be two thousand
- 4:15Speaker 1: miles away from the dead bodies. It's truly amazing, Nancy,
- 4:20Speaker 1: how far these two suspects have been able to go
- 4:23Speaker 1: without being apprehended. If yes, it absolutely looks like they
- 4:27Speaker 1: have gone two thousand miles away through the help of
- 4:31Speaker 1: stolen cards. Well, okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. Tell
- 4:34Speaker 1: me about these two victims. I know one is an
- 4:36Speaker 1: American girl that was on kind of a dream road
- 4:40Speaker 1: trip with her fiance. They're both, of course gorgeous. He's
- 4:43Speaker 1: from I think Australia. They're seeing the world I think,
- 4:48Speaker 1: traveling in a van and suddenly nobody hears from them,
- 4:53Speaker 1: and that's when their bodies are found. What do you
- 4:55Speaker 1: know about them? That's all correct, Nancy, what you said.
- 4:58Speaker 1: Lucas Filer as an Australian native. His father is actually
- 5:02Speaker 1: a police officer. Um. They had been together for a
- 5:06Speaker 1: couple of years. They both loved to travel, they loved
- 5:09Speaker 1: each other, and that's what they were doing. The very
- 5:12Speaker 1: last thing that the very last image that we saw
- 5:15Speaker 1: of them was at a gas station not long before
- 5:18Speaker 1: they were murdered. And there and they're in they're in
- 5:20Speaker 1: an embrace. What about the girl. She is from North Carolina,
- 5:24Speaker 1: She's an American. She met her her boyfriend while they
- 5:29Speaker 1: were traveling because that's what they both loved to do,
- 5:32Speaker 1: and she joined him on a road trip in through
- 5:36Speaker 1: through the country of Canada. Ak's referring to China. Dece
- 5:41Speaker 1: just twenty three years old of North Carolina. The boyfriend
- 5:45Speaker 1: Lucas Fowler twenty four years old. Dad a hop. How
- 5:49Speaker 1: does Leonard Dyke sixty five of Vancouver fit into this scenario? AKA, well,
- 5:54Speaker 1: we don't even know yet how he was killed, but
- 5:56Speaker 1: we know that he was Leonard Dyke, again, someone who
- 6:00Speaker 1: would not have had any enemies. He was a university professor.
- 6:03Speaker 1: He is a botanist, and his body is found four
- 6:09Speaker 1: days after Lucas and China burn. Take a listen to
- 6:13Speaker 1: what the father of one of the two, as they
- 6:16Speaker 1: are called baby Face suspects, has to say. They hung
- 6:20Speaker 1: on it all the time. Briar never had Cam stay
- 6:24Speaker 1: at his mom's house or or his grandmother's. It was
- 6:27Speaker 1: always a Cam's place, or they had a few other
- 6:30Speaker 1: close friends and and they'd have their campouts and all that.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I don't know much. I just I don't want knows
- 6:38Speaker 1: Cam's family, Okay, So I know they're hurting as much
- 6:42Speaker 1: as I am. I know they're very confused. All I
- 6:46Speaker 1: can say is my son did not have any real guns.
- 6:51Speaker 1: My son did not have a vehicle. My son does
- 6:54Speaker 1: not know how to drive. He was very introverted and
- 6:59Speaker 1: he is very heavy into video games. When he came
- 7:03Speaker 1: to work for me for the summer, I didn't pay
- 7:06Speaker 1: him and I just had a very expensive customer computer
- 7:09Speaker 1: for him, which he was quite content with. You know,
- 7:12Speaker 1: he wasn't into the ones where you know, yeah, your
- 7:15Speaker 1: machine gun and go shooting people. He was worrying into
- 7:18Speaker 1: strategy where you move your troops here and there. Strategy
- 7:22Speaker 1: has turned awfully real right now with a discovery of
- 7:25Speaker 1: three dead bodies, including a twenty three year old North
- 7:29Speaker 1: Carolina girl who was out for the adventure of a lifetime.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Can you imagine her parents probably first of all worried
- 7:37Speaker 1: about her. Then as the weeks passed and she would
- 7:40Speaker 1: check in all the time, they would think, oh, would
- 7:42Speaker 1: have grant adventure. Wish I could have done something like
- 7:44Speaker 1: that when I was growing up, but I had to
- 7:46Speaker 1: go straight to work. Blah blah blah. She's dead, She's gone.
- 7:50Speaker 1: And now these two that are called baby faced killers
- 7:55Speaker 1: are on the run of been leading police in a
- 7:57Speaker 1: wild goose chase now for two weeks and apparently are
- 8:01Speaker 1: getting away with it. Two suspected serial killers have now
- 8:06Speaker 1: been spotted, but still on the run. A tip was
- 8:09Speaker 1: received that the two teens were in the York Landing
- 8:15Speaker 1: Manitoba area. There are a lot of conflicting reports, but
- 8:19Speaker 1: what we're learning is they were apparently seeing at a
- 8:22Speaker 1: community landfill foraging for food. So how did two seemingly
- 8:27Speaker 1: innocent boys end up like this Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 8:46Speaker 1: This case has taken a dramatic turn and police are
- 8:48Speaker 1: now saying that they are casting a wide net They
- 8:51Speaker 1: believe the teens are on the run, that they may
- 8:54Speaker 1: have changed their appearance, and police have evidence to suggest
- 8:57Speaker 1: they may already be thousands of miles away. If you
- 9:01Speaker 1: spot Briar or Cam, consider them dangerous. An intense manhunt
- 9:07Speaker 1: is underway for two Canadian teens, Cam McLoud and Briar shmcgilski,
- 9:12Speaker 1: now suspects in three deaths on rural roads in British Columbia, Canada.
- 9:17Speaker 1: The search comes more than a week after the bodies
- 9:20Speaker 1: of North Carolina native China Deese and Australian Lucas Fowler
- 9:24Speaker 1: were found near their van on the side of the road.
- 9:27Speaker 1: The young couple seen here hugging at a gas station
- 9:29Speaker 1: two days before being found or on a road trip.
- 9:33Speaker 1: There was a van bult gown. We just pulled over
- 9:35Speaker 1: re see if they needed help. Curtis Broughton and his
- 9:37Speaker 1: wife Sandra say they met the pair shortly before they died,
- 9:41Speaker 1: leaving the young travelers only after they felt the couple
- 9:44Speaker 1: knew how to repair their broken down van. They were
- 9:47Speaker 1: happy and smiling, and they were here on their road trip,
- 9:50Speaker 1: and they just looked like a young couple in love.
- 9:52Speaker 1: The mystery deep in late last week when another body
- 9:55Speaker 1: was found some three hundred miles away, also on a
- 9:58Speaker 1: remote Canadian our friend Dat CBS Janet shamelin the manhunting
- 10:04Speaker 1: mystery going on right now, suspects Cam mccloyd, Brush mcgulski.
- 10:09Speaker 1: What we know is a twenty four year old man,
- 10:12Speaker 1: Lucas Fowler, his North Carolina girlfriend China D's just twenty
- 10:17Speaker 1: three and now a potential college professor, all victims of
- 10:21Speaker 1: the two so called baby faced killers. I don't know anything.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Have they even got that nickname to? Jason Oceans joining
- 10:30Speaker 1: me right now now on defense attorney, joining me out
- 10:32Speaker 1: of New York, New Jersey area. Jason Monikers are attached
- 10:37Speaker 1: to killers, and I don't like that because somehow it's
- 10:40Speaker 1: seemingly takes away from the reality. Matthy, I agree with you.
- 10:45Speaker 1: I hate that that you know, sort of connotation of
- 10:50Speaker 1: baby face. It just it does take away from being,
- 10:54Speaker 1: you know, an accused murder, multiple murders, and you know,
- 10:58Speaker 1: leading US, leading authorities on thousands of miles of chase
- 11:03Speaker 1: and keeping people at bay in their own homes. This
- 11:06Speaker 1: is rural Canada, you know, greater than the size of
- 11:10Speaker 1: the United States and thirty million people. Most of this
- 11:13Speaker 1: land out here in the West is uninhabited. People might
- 11:16Speaker 1: not have access to knowing what's going on. Hey, Jason,
- 11:19Speaker 1: you know that my Hallmark movies and they're not mine.
- 11:22Speaker 1: They're Hallmarks, but The Hiley Dean based on my books.
- 11:27Speaker 1: I started writing actually around the time I met you,
- 11:29Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety seven, when I knew nobody in
- 11:33Speaker 1: New York. Moved up there to start a show with
- 11:35Speaker 1: Johnny Cochrane and he would go out every night to
- 11:37Speaker 1: fancy parties. He was the band of the hour. After
- 11:40Speaker 1: the Simpson Verdict, I go home to my apartment and
- 11:45Speaker 1: at first I couldn't even afford a TV. Did get one, though,
- 11:49Speaker 1: and I would write started this book long story short.
- 11:52Speaker 1: They are shot up in Vancouver, and it's beautiful, beautiful
- 11:57Speaker 1: country up there, but you go long, long stretches where
- 12:03Speaker 1: you don't see anybody. Jason, I mean, these two's like
- 12:06Speaker 1: looking for a needle in haystack. They're in the Continental Divide.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I mean, you're absolutely right. I mean in between, you know,
- 12:13Speaker 1: the coast of Vancouver and where they're rumored to be
- 12:17Speaker 1: is just nothingness. It's beautiful, but it's just wide open
- 12:23Speaker 1: and the amount of law enforcement, the resources, those who know,
- 12:27Speaker 1: getting posters up, that type of stuff that we do here,
- 12:30Speaker 1: and you know in the states out there, it's escaping them.
- 12:35Speaker 1: And that's why they're covering large grounds seemingly of you know,
- 12:40Speaker 1: being on the loose. It's very scary. Yeah, you know,
- 12:44Speaker 1: I want to go back to Karen Start, psychologists joining
- 12:47Speaker 1: me out of New York. These two have gotten the
- 12:49Speaker 1: name I'm talking about the alleged killers Mcgelski and McLoyd.
- 12:54Speaker 1: They're young, that's true, but the name baby faced killer.
- 12:57Speaker 1: You know, when the twins got to pick somebody. Of course,
- 13:01Speaker 1: they can't just write a book report. That would be wrong,
- 13:03Speaker 1: Karen Start. They have to not only write a book report, okay,
- 13:08Speaker 1: they then have to excuse me, I have to put
- 13:12Speaker 1: together a costume for them. Lucy had to be Cleopatra.
- 13:16Speaker 1: You know how hard it is to dress her up
- 13:18Speaker 1: like Cleopatra? Oh my stars? Okay, and he chose to
- 13:23Speaker 1: be Billy the kid. I'm like, son, why are you
- 13:27Speaker 1: picking a killer? Because Mom, he's so this and he's
- 13:31Speaker 1: so that. I just looked at him. I could not
- 13:33Speaker 1: believe my son picked well anyway, So why do we
- 13:39Speaker 1: I hope John Navy doesn't hear this. Why do we
- 13:43Speaker 1: glamorize killers? Like what about all those women throwing themselves
- 13:47Speaker 1: at that low moron Chris Watts who kills his wife
- 13:52Speaker 1: Shenan and his two babies. Charles Manson getting love letters?
- 13:55Speaker 1: That Jody Arius the Jezebel from hell. She's getting love
- 14:01Speaker 1: letters and marriage offers. I don't get it. Why are
- 14:04Speaker 1: they the baby face killers? You know? Think about it.
- 14:08Speaker 1: You go on a road trip, Karen Stark, you with me?
- 14:12Speaker 1: Because I don't hear a peep out of you. I'm listening, Nancy.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I'm right there. I'm right Karen Stark. You and your
- 14:17Speaker 1: husband Mark go all over the world. Every time I
- 14:20Speaker 1: see Karen Stark, I'm like, what, Steve Well, we went
- 14:23Speaker 1: to Rome, and we went to Monica, we went to
- 14:26Speaker 1: con I'm like, what all I did was go to work?
- 14:29Speaker 1: Tell me about I can lift through you. Think about it.
- 14:33Speaker 1: You're at one of your many, many luxurious vacations and
- 14:37Speaker 1: you're driving along with Mark, your beloved husband, and bam,
- 14:40Speaker 1: these two idiots pop up out of nowhere. They are
- 14:43Speaker 1: not baby face killers. Why are we saying that there's
- 14:46Speaker 1: nothing baby faced about them? These are these are like
- 14:50Speaker 1: three killers, Nancy. These are these are killers who they
- 14:53Speaker 1: don't take the time to cool down between their killings,
- 14:57Speaker 1: so that just encourages them to go from one to
- 15:00Speaker 1: the next, and they encourage each other. Usually in a
- 15:03Speaker 1: situation like this, one of them is more dominant and
- 15:07Speaker 1: the other one more passive. But they have revenge fantasies.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Whatever is going on with them. As the father said,
- 15:15Speaker 1: one was very introverted and on social media had a
- 15:19Speaker 1: lot of Nazi symbolism. And they are not they be
- 15:25Speaker 1: innocent to be admired killers. They are cold blooded killers
- 15:31Speaker 1: who are having a really good time out there killing
- 15:35Speaker 1: people that they don't know, just to get revenge and
- 15:40Speaker 1: excitement out of their systems. Revenge for what they didn't
- 15:43Speaker 1: even know. These people, what are you talking about? This
- 15:45Speaker 1: revenge against society? They feel this enfranchise against society, my
- 15:52Speaker 1: rare end. They have had homes, they have been cared for,
- 15:57Speaker 1: they have been given three meals a day, an education.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Revenge for what, But that's not the reality in their minds.
- 16:05Speaker 1: In their minds, they're disenfranchised. In their mind they have jobs,
- 16:09Speaker 1: they lose them, and you notice they're supposedly going out
- 16:13Speaker 1: there to look for jobs, so they're not feeling very powerful.
- 16:18Speaker 1: They are feeling like they can't keep you know, the offense.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Wa wait, wait, wait wait, I want to pick up
- 16:25Speaker 1: on something you said. Now, no offense Jason Oceans and
- 16:29Speaker 1: here in the stud studio, Elie and John, no offense
- 16:34Speaker 1: to men in general. But let me circle back here
- 16:36Speaker 1: and start to feel powerful. You know, I never want
- 16:40Speaker 1: I'm never at one time in my life and I
- 16:42Speaker 1: ever wanted to feel powerful. I just want to work,
- 16:45Speaker 1: do a good job, come home to the twins, cook
- 16:48Speaker 1: a little red beans and rice. You know, watch a
- 16:50Speaker 1: little Sherlock Holmes before we fall asleep. What feel powerful?
- 16:54Speaker 1: Who wants to feel powerful? Why is it always men
- 16:57Speaker 1: that want to feel powerful? Well, I yes, because it
- 17:01Speaker 1: has to do with that whole macho feeling of the
- 17:04Speaker 1: power behind the gun and the ability. Okay, wait wait
- 17:08Speaker 1: wait wait wait Karen start. Jackie Howard here in the
- 17:12Speaker 1: studio has just given me a significant update. Jackie Howard
- 17:18Speaker 1: and all her intensive legal research has discovered that these
- 17:22Speaker 1: two liked to play war games in the woods. Now.
- 17:25Speaker 1: You know, when I was little, say nine or ten,
- 17:28Speaker 1: I would build fortside a pin straw and we would
- 17:31Speaker 1: throw pine couns and sycamore balls, as wrong as that is.
- 17:35Speaker 1: But these two, how old are they? How old are they? Ek?
- 17:41Speaker 1: How old are these two? Eighteen and nineteen years old?
- 17:44Speaker 1: And they're still playing war games in the woods if
- 17:47Speaker 1: we are to believe Jackie Howard. Anyway, what does that say,
- 17:51Speaker 1: Karen starting They're still playing war games in the woods,
- 17:54Speaker 1: running through the woods with fake guns. And I think
- 17:58Speaker 1: they also like to play games online. So they really
- 18:03Speaker 1: are excited about the idea of being able to shoot
- 18:06Speaker 1: a gun and go through the motions of capturing somebody
- 18:12Speaker 1: or binding their target. And even though they're eighteen and
- 18:16Speaker 1: nineteen years old, they are still two boys who get
- 18:21Speaker 1: a charge out of doing that. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace,
- 18:41Speaker 1: A clearer and darker picture is emerging of a murder
- 18:44Speaker 1: suspect at the center of a cross country man hunt.
- 18:47Speaker 1: These photos of Briers mcgilski, sent to CBC by a
- 18:50Speaker 1: fellow online gamer, showed the team dressed in camo with
- 18:54Speaker 1: a Nazi symbol on display. Is a much different image
- 18:57Speaker 1: than the boy people here new in person. He was
- 19:00Speaker 1: a nice kid, very quiet. Lisa Lucas lives a few
- 19:03Speaker 1: doors down from Shmagelski's grandmother where he often stayed as
- 19:06Speaker 1: a child. Her son, Ryland, became quick friends Wish mcgelski.
- 19:10Speaker 1: The two played together for years, but eventually grew apart.
- 19:13Speaker 1: Ryland just said he just gave off a weird kind
- 19:16Speaker 1: of a vibe. He just stopped a while, just started
- 19:18Speaker 1: making people feel uncomfortable. She says, her son became concerned
- 19:21Speaker 1: Wishmagelski's love for violent video games. He would mention things
- 19:25Speaker 1: about like if this was real, you know, like when
- 19:28Speaker 1: they're playing video games, like, could you imagine if this
- 19:30Speaker 1: was real? Kind of a thing. So and you get
- 19:33Speaker 1: a little too excited about it. I guess you were
- 19:35Speaker 1: hearing from our friends at the CBC. That was Tanya Fletcher.
- 19:38Speaker 1: Who are these guys and who are these victims? Let's see,
- 19:43Speaker 1: I'm trying to even think back at age twenty three,
- 19:45Speaker 1: I just got out of law school. I think I'll
- 19:48Speaker 1: still a Clark for a judge. Oh still just a
- 19:51Speaker 1: little baby. This China Day's just twenty three years old

- 20:33Speaker 1: country across in a van, and suddenly their bodies found
- 20:38Speaker 1: dead on the side of the road, just just gun
- 20:42Speaker 1: down and left there on the side of the road
- 20:46Speaker 1: with cars whizzing by. Who did this? Right now? Cops
- 20:52Speaker 1: honing in on a very rural area, we believe, and
- 20:57Speaker 1: arrest is imminent. With Kim McLoyd and Brian Schmigelski, what happened?
- 21:03Speaker 1: Joining me right now. A forensic expert and I have
- 21:05Speaker 1: worked with her many times and she is the consummate expert,
- 21:11Speaker 1: also the founder of Beer Bones consulting with me right now,
- 21:14Speaker 1: Karen Smith. Karen, first of all, let me just start
- 21:18Speaker 1: with an elementary question. Tell me about the primary crime
- 21:23Speaker 1: scene where the two bodies, the young North Carolina girl
- 21:26Speaker 1: China Decee and her boyfriend twenty four, the CoP's son,
- 21:30Speaker 1: are found. Then I'll move to a potential third victim,
- 21:33Speaker 1: the college professor Leonard Dyke. Well, the first scene is
- 21:37Speaker 1: going to be where their van was found on the
- 21:38Speaker 1: side of the road. There were reports that one of
- 21:41Speaker 1: the back windows was broken. I don't know if that
- 21:43Speaker 1: means blown out by a bullet or I don't know
- 21:45Speaker 1: if that means broken because it had been broken before.
- 21:47Speaker 1: They're going to be looking at the positions of the bodies.
- 21:50Speaker 1: How were they positioned on the side of the road,
- 21:52Speaker 1: had they been executed, had this been completed at a distance?
- 21:56Speaker 1: Wasn't a drive by. They're going to look at the van,
- 22:00Speaker 1: what was wrong with it? How was it broken down?
- 22:03Speaker 1: Was this a rural road where there are a lot
- 22:04Speaker 1: of people that pass by. They're going to be asking
- 22:07Speaker 1: people who may have witnessed anything to come forward. You
- 22:10Speaker 1: look at the bullets, You look at the ballistics. Mancy,
- 22:12Speaker 1: We've talked about this ad nauseum before. The ballistics are
- 22:15Speaker 1: going to tell a story, maybe not the story, but
- 22:18Speaker 1: a story. What type of gun was it? Was it
- 22:20Speaker 1: a rifle? Was it a handgun? Is there any stippling
- 22:23Speaker 1: or burned an unburned gunpowder on the body, showing a
- 22:26Speaker 1: close contact or close range gun shot. All of those
- 22:31Speaker 1: horendics are going to come forward and tell a story.
- 22:33Speaker 1: But it doesn't give us the name and address of
- 22:36Speaker 1: a suspect. It just tells us the ballistics and what
- 22:39Speaker 1: may have happened at that scene. So they really have
- 22:42Speaker 1: their work cut out for them. Tell me how you
- 22:44Speaker 1: believe Karen Smith Barebone's consulting that the two bodies of
- 22:49Speaker 1: China Decee and Lucas Fowler can be connected to that
- 22:54Speaker 1: the college professor Leonard Dyke. Well, at this point, we're
- 22:56Speaker 1: looking at ballistics. If Leonard Dyke was shot, and from
- 23:00Speaker 1: report says that he was, they're going to look to
- 23:04Speaker 1: try and match the bullets from the first scene where
- 23:06Speaker 1: the two were gunned down to the Leonard Dike scene
- 23:08Speaker 1: where he was apparently gunned down. If they can match
- 23:11Speaker 1: those ballistics, we're going to show that it was the
- 23:13Speaker 1: same person or the same gun anyway that fired those bullets.
- 23:17Speaker 1: So those links are going to be critical in the
- 23:20Speaker 1: turning point. It also gives a traveling pattern of the
- 23:23Speaker 1: people who may have committed these crimes. Which direction they
- 23:26Speaker 1: were going, where then they have been headed And at
- 23:29Speaker 1: this point, I'm really just hoping that the Royal Canadian
- 23:33Speaker 1: Mountain Police can use all of their resources and find
- 23:36Speaker 1: these guys. They need to be office free. Take a
- 23:38Speaker 1: listen to our friends, CBS reporter Janet Shamalen. Police say
- 23:42Speaker 1: they'd found a truck on fire that belonged to the
- 23:44Speaker 1: Canadian teen suspects about a mile from the man's body.
- 23:48Speaker 1: We believe that they're likely continuing to travel. These are
- 23:51Speaker 1: newly released recent photos of the teen suspects, last seen
- 23:55Speaker 1: driving a twenty eleven silver Toyota rav four. Police believe
- 23:59Speaker 1: they've left British Columbia and maybe in Manitoba, thousands of
- 24:03Speaker 1: miles away. Investigators won't say what evidence connects the teens
- 24:07Speaker 1: to their killings. For Lucas Fowler's father, the loss is unimaginable.
- 24:13Speaker 1: As a police officer, you work with families all the time,
- 24:17Speaker 1: but nothing prepares me, Nothing prepares my family for what
- 24:22Speaker 1: we are going through now, a father's heartbreak. And so
- 24:25Speaker 1: the families of these teams that they haven't seen them
- 24:27Speaker 1: for several days and they believe the teenage were just
- 24:30Speaker 1: were out on the road looking for work. Meanwhile, the
- 24:32Speaker 1: families of this young couple, the American and that Australian
- 24:36Speaker 1: and the father you saw just there asking this question
- 24:38Speaker 1: about motive, what could have sparked what seems to be
- 24:41Speaker 1: a random murder. Of course, the state never has to
- 24:45Speaker 1: prove a motive, isn't that right? Jason Ocean's estate, I,
- 24:49Speaker 1: for instance, me trying a case. I don't have to
- 24:51Speaker 1: climb into these guy's heads and figure out why did
- 24:54Speaker 1: they do it? Why? What were they thinking? What were
- 24:57Speaker 1: they tired of playing Minecraft in their mommy's basement? I
- 25:00Speaker 1: don't know. Are they tired of running through the woods
- 25:02Speaker 1: with an air soft? I don't know, And I don't
- 25:05Speaker 1: have to know. I just have to know I've got
- 25:07Speaker 1: the right person and the right jurisdiction and the right
- 25:10Speaker 1: victims and a general time span. That's what I need
- 25:14Speaker 1: to know, and I need to be able to prove
- 25:15Speaker 1: it beyond a reasonable doubt. So motive, motive. But I
- 25:21Speaker 1: will say, Jason, I am curious. Don't you think juries
- 25:24Speaker 1: want to just out of curiosity? No, a motive, they do, Nancy.
- 25:28Speaker 1: I mean, then, and as I listened to you speak,
- 25:30Speaker 1: once a prosecutor, always a prosecutor, and certainly motive doesn't matter.
- 25:34Speaker 1: It's just part of a story. As you say, juries
- 25:37Speaker 1: like to hear that these are lay people who want
- 25:39Speaker 1: to know. But what happened? How did these you know,
- 25:42Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen year olds teenagers quote unquote in a bad way,
- 25:48Speaker 1: baby faced killers? How did they get to this point?
- 25:52Speaker 1: So you know, part of that is a background, their
- 25:54Speaker 1: family background. One of them is comes from a you know,
- 25:59Speaker 1: a ruptured family in terms of parents divorced and contentious
- 26:03Speaker 1: going on for years. Not that that's any excuse. Well wait, wait, wait, wait,
- 26:07Speaker 1: please please start, Please start, Jason, Jason, Jason, Jason. Are
- 26:11Speaker 1: you seriously saying because the parents slid up, because the
- 26:14Speaker 1: parents notting that's why they went on a murder spree?
- 26:18Speaker 1: Because it sounds like you just did, Nancy, I'm not.
- 26:20Speaker 1: I'm just saying, but that's a part of your question
- 26:22Speaker 1: as to what is moving. Didn't I hear you say
- 26:24Speaker 1: ruptured family? Was that not you? That must have been
- 26:27Speaker 1: Jackie Howard here in the studio, because I know I
- 26:29Speaker 1: heard somebody say I've got a ruptured family. You gotta
- 26:32Speaker 1: give me a little bit better than that. The thing
- 26:33Speaker 1: you're you're looking promotive. I mean, we're we're all supposing
- 26:37Speaker 1: what it might be. But one's uh, you know, one's
- 26:40Speaker 1: reclusive and recalcitrens in his life. The other one is uh,
- 26:43Speaker 1: you know, uh, got anger issues and more dominant, as
- 26:47Speaker 1: Karen Stark said, And here they're off on their adventure,
- 26:51Speaker 1: unfortunately with horrible uh and deadly consequences. Crime stories with
- 27:09Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. So as his influencers haven't been good, his
- 27:14Speaker 1: influencers have been YouTube and video games. They never got
- 27:18Speaker 1: in trouble with the law. They never got into fights.
- 27:21Speaker 1: You know. They were just hanging out and having a
- 27:23Speaker 1: good time. They weren't scrappers, they weren't cursors, you know.
- 27:29Speaker 1: They didn't go play mister Man like manche No. They
- 27:31Speaker 1: were just everyday regular kids. But both of them have
- 27:36Speaker 1: to have a lot of pain inside, both of them.
- 27:39Speaker 1: They had told me that the Walmart jobs just weren't
- 27:43Speaker 1: cutting it. They were going to go to Alberta and
- 27:45Speaker 1: make some proper money. I believe that's what they were
- 27:48Speaker 1: going to do. And I was absolutely flabbergasted to learn that.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Two days later, and I found this out from the
- 27:53Speaker 1: paper that they were up in the Yukon initially, it
- 27:57Speaker 1: looks like they were victims as well, right initially, And
- 28:02Speaker 1: it's really tough for me to see in the paper
- 28:05Speaker 1: today photos of them alive and well in Saskatchewan. So
- 28:10Speaker 1: now they're not lost in the woods. You are hearing
- 28:12Speaker 1: the father of BRIERSH mcgulski, speaking, Did I just hear
- 28:16Speaker 1: him say they're victims as well? I've got three dead
- 28:19Speaker 1: bodies I'm trying to connect right now, and apparently they
- 28:23Speaker 1: are absolutely connected to at least two of them, apparently
- 28:28Speaker 1: on a killing spree everyday, regular kids, they're victims as well.
- 28:33Speaker 1: Blaming YouTube and online for influencing them. Hey, there's something
- 28:37Speaker 1: more than YouTube and playing games online that set these
- 28:40Speaker 1: two off. Again, it doesn't matter what set them off.
- 28:43Speaker 1: What matters is apprehending these two. Kim McCloy Briers mcgelski,
- 28:49Speaker 1: now believed to have murdered three people. Questions straight out
- 28:53Speaker 1: to Alan klarein crimalline dot Com investigative reporter. Could they
- 28:57Speaker 1: be getting help from someone they've been on the run
- 29:00Speaker 1: two weeks, Well, yes, Nancy, and there's a lot of
- 29:02Speaker 1: questions about how they've been able to evade police and
- 29:05Speaker 1: what you accurately described as a wild goose chain. So
- 29:07Speaker 1: police did think there was a possibility that someone perhaps
- 29:11Speaker 1: inadvertently had helped them relocate from Gillham, Manitoba, which is
- 29:16Speaker 1: where they were for for several days without any sightings.
- 29:20Speaker 1: They have since been spotted about fifty six miles away
- 29:24Speaker 1: in a remote area. But just because it's only fifty
- 29:27Speaker 1: six miles away doesn't mean it's easy to get you.
- 29:29Speaker 1: This is very rough terrain. It would take several hours
- 29:32Speaker 1: to drive. So yes, police do suspect that's possible that
- 29:37Speaker 1: someone is helping them, either not knowing who they are
- 29:41Speaker 1: and what they're what they're why they're the subject of
- 29:43Speaker 1: a man hunt, or perhaps, as one force said, they're
- 29:47Speaker 1: not friendly to beliefs and maybe the suspects are paid. Stop.
- 29:55Speaker 1: They are not kids. There three dead bodies. Okay, just
- 29:58Speaker 1: hold on, hold on a k think of China, did
- 30:01Speaker 1: right getting cold? You're right, yeah, lying on the side
- 30:04Speaker 1: of the road, dead from a series of gunshot wounds,
- 30:08Speaker 1: most likely at close range, and laying there till our
- 30:11Speaker 1: body gets cold, with cars whizzing by out in the
- 30:13Speaker 1: middle of nowhere. Now did I hear you say the
- 30:16Speaker 1: word kids? Yes, they are not kids. They're both adults
- 30:19Speaker 1: and they have one of them at least has a
- 30:22Speaker 1: history of making very violent comments, going back to when
- 30:25Speaker 1: he was in the seventh grade. I explain that to me,
- 30:27Speaker 1: what are you talking about. A classmate of his, who
- 30:31Speaker 1: a female classmate who was who was with him in
- 30:33Speaker 1: the seventh grade, said that even all the way back then,
- 30:36Speaker 1: he would make comments about killing other students and then
- 30:40Speaker 1: killing himself. Which one was that that's um briar Chmagilski.
- 30:45Speaker 1: We know a lot more about him than we do
- 30:47Speaker 1: about Kama Cloud. Well, what do we know about him?
- 30:49Speaker 1: We know that he was very active on video gaming sites.
- 30:53Speaker 1: So with the other one, his father had spoken out
- 30:56Speaker 1: a lot about how he was purportedly very damaged by
- 31:00Speaker 1: divorce that happened when he was only five years old.
- 31:03Speaker 1: We know that he had his father thought him an
- 31:07Speaker 1: air street an toy gun basically that kind of looks
- 31:11Speaker 1: like a real gun, and that he would play in
- 31:13Speaker 1: the woods with those. We know that he made comment
- 31:16Speaker 1: online on these gaming platforms saying that he was sympathetic
- 31:19Speaker 1: to Nazis. We know that he sent a photo to
- 31:22Speaker 1: another gamer of Nazi paraphernalia. We know that he brought
- 31:25Speaker 1: his father hold on to the second, what is this?
- 31:28Speaker 1: To Karen Smith, forensics expert, founder of beer Buds Consulting,
- 31:31Speaker 1: what are the air soft rifles? Explaining that basically it's
- 31:34Speaker 1: just a lookalike Nancy, it's you use a canister of
- 31:37Speaker 1: air to propel a pellet through the barrel rather than
- 31:40Speaker 1: a bullet. Listen, this is not a toy. Okay, this
- 31:44Speaker 1: can hurt people. It is not something to be taken lightly.
- 31:48Speaker 1: And when you have a young man, a young killer
- 31:51Speaker 1: that has been trained with this lookalike gun, it takes
- 31:55Speaker 1: the you know, ask Karen Stark about this. It takes
- 31:57Speaker 1: the reality out of their brain and it makes sixty
- 32:00Speaker 1: on something more real, something that they want to do. Wait,
- 32:04Speaker 1: there's something I don't understand here. So they have this
- 32:06Speaker 1: airsoft rifle which is basically like I guess, a paintball rifle.
- 32:10Speaker 1: And hey, those things hurt, by the way, but this
- 32:13Speaker 1: isn't They were killed in Canada. Don't they have very
- 32:16Speaker 1: strick gun control in Canada. To Karen Smith, they do,
- 32:20Speaker 1: but that doesn't prevent straw purchase of Nancy. You know
- 32:22Speaker 1: that as well as I do. Well, all I know
- 32:24Speaker 1: is every time I go to Canada to tape a
- 32:26Speaker 1: hall mart. Maybe the first thing the cab driver says
- 32:28Speaker 1: is something about the American government and gun control. That's
- 32:31Speaker 1: why I'm curious. But that's neither here nor there. The
- 32:34Speaker 1: investigators have described the terrain that they are scouring as
- 32:38Speaker 1: extremely rough and at this point, what are the chances
- 32:41Speaker 1: the accused killers will be captured alive? Akacially, Nancy, I
- 32:46Speaker 1: thought we were all going to wake up to the
- 32:47Speaker 1: news this morning that they had been captured because they
- 32:50Speaker 1: have been spotted in a remote area. We don't know
- 32:54Speaker 1: what kind of tactical equipment they have, but we know
- 32:57Speaker 1: that even trained police officers are facing a lot of
- 33:01Speaker 1: challenges with this terrain. It's very remote. There's polar bears,
- 33:05Speaker 1: there's black bears. It's not an easy area to canvas.
- 33:10Speaker 1: So it's really remarkable that these suspects are still out there,
- 33:16Speaker 1: and I don't think that they will be for much longer,
- 33:18Speaker 1: and I don't think police do either. And one of
- 33:20Speaker 1: the suspects fathers at the same thing, Well, you know
- 33:22Speaker 1: to Karen Start, psychologist joining me out in Manhattan. You
- 33:25Speaker 1: can find out Karen Start dot com. We also know,
- 33:28Speaker 1: based on newly released images of the two, they have
- 33:32Speaker 1: an obsession with Nazism. Now, what does that tell you
- 33:35Speaker 1: about their mindset? Karen start, Well, their mindset is evil.
- 33:39Speaker 1: I mean that what they are admiring that the killing
- 33:44Speaker 1: machine of the Nazis and the fact that they were
- 33:48Speaker 1: looking for a superior race. So as I said, they're
- 33:52Speaker 1: disenfranchised for whatever reason. They are really wanting to go
- 33:57Speaker 1: out there and have this power of just killing people
- 34:02Speaker 1: and being able. And I think they were fueled off
- 34:05Speaker 1: of by the fact that they did one killing and
- 34:07Speaker 1: then they could go ahead and do another. And they
- 34:11Speaker 1: were encouraging each other, which is not unusual, one dominant
- 34:15Speaker 1: one less so. But obsessed with this idea of being
- 34:18Speaker 1: able to take over, and they're going to admire anything
- 34:22Speaker 1: that's evil, that is against society, the benefit of society,
- 34:28Speaker 1: and has to do with control the father. Briars mcgilski
- 34:33Speaker 1: says this. A normal child doesn't travel across the country
- 34:38Speaker 1: killing people. Child in some very serious pain does Mounties.
- 34:45Speaker 1: We're going to shoot first and ask questions later. Basically,
- 34:51Speaker 1: he's going to be dead today or tomorrow. I knew facts. Pie,
- 35:07Speaker 1: Oh so sorry, could I'm gonna boast kill you and
- 35:11Speaker 1: my stars. That's just breaking my heart. And yes I
- 35:14Speaker 1: know that's the father of one of the alleged killers,
- 35:16Speaker 1: Brush mcguel's keeper. He is still a dad and he
- 35:18Speaker 1: still loves his son no matter what. What a nightmare
- 35:23Speaker 1: we wait as justice and false. Remember, if you see
- 35:27Speaker 1: these two, do not approach them. Please call nine one one.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Nancy Grace Crime Story, signing off, goodbye friend,
