Well, it wasn't from the RCMP running them to ground and engaging them....

I also wondered how they died. Reports say they found the bodies 5.6 miles from the burned out car they left on a dead end road. All around them was muskeg. Water holes tight brush and no path.
It is said: "British Columbia will spit out anybody who is unprepared, people with knowledge of the area say. The bush is thick, and the land is swampy and teeming with insects, they say of the wooded area around Gillam." "If you don't have the means to be in there, you're not going to make it," said William Hunter, who once battled forest fires in the unforgiving landscape."
I would imagine black flies and mosquitoes were involved in torturing them. we will just have to wait for the autopsy news.
Reading where the two murderers tried to go reminded me of some very brave and determined men who braved the swamps of Northern Maine to attack Quebec during the Revolutionary war. Kenneth Roberts book entitled "Rabble in Arms" is a worthy read. They traveled 350 miles from Massachusetts braving much of the same environment as those two murderers. While not all of the 1100 men made it to Quebec those that did were MEN.

Inept as they were, they lasted a while. I would like to think a justice minded member of the Cree nation shot them but probably not. At least their last days were probably miserable. GD

My bet would be exposure and I’d be surprised if they made it thru the 1st night. With a fire they might have lasted a couple of days.

I think they died the first night, double suicide. The Mounties had infrared in the choppers and the drones, they would have spotted the body heat in the cool Canadian nights.

GD Not nearly as miserable as their future days are likely to be. but but but if they prayed the Lordt's prayer before they killed themselves, all is forgiven right? or something? Kind of like one of those guys you see on the way to church, he'a fuggin off headed to the lake in his Bay Liner while youre in church He get's the same Grace on his deathbed in the nursing home?
