Missing teens now suspects in northern B.C. double murder, unidentified body

Two teens who were initially listed as missing in northern BC are now considered armed, dangerous suspects in the murders of two young tourists and an unidentified older man.

RCMP Sergeant Janelle Shoihet says 19-year-old Kam McLeod and 18-year-old Bryer Schmegelsky -- both Port Alberni residents -- have been confirmed to be travelling in northern Saskatchewan, driving a 2011 Toyota Rav 4.

Investigators have not released many other details, saying they don't want to jeopardize the investigation, but until this morning it was believed the teens had vanished while driving to Yukon in search of work.

Their burning camper van was found last Friday, just a short distance away from the site where the body of the unidentified older man was found -- and nearly 500 kilometres from the Liard Hot Springs area where Australian Lucas Fowler and American Chynna Deese were murdered more than a week ago.
