Crime Beat: The Tiny Town Mystery | S5 E10

When a 20-year-old English tourist suddenly stops contacting his family while backpacking across Canada, his mother tries to raise the alarm. Police are slow to respond until an anonymous note prompts them to search a nearby lake.
When a body is found, there is hope that it will help bring closure to the missing man’s family. But as Jules Knox reports, another twist in this story means that the case can’t be so easily closed.

[@queenie.lawyergirl.pittymom]

The gaslighting is unreal. I don't believe a word of these alleged 'sightings'. He met his end at that party and for some reason the RCMP, as usual, were in cahoots with criminals and covered it up. Hospitalizing the mother, then attempting to convince her that he was alive and well are their usual manipulation tactics. Phil is guilty. Wearing his clothes, removing photos, drugging his friend, were all actions of a GUILTY person. RIP Charles and strength and love to his mother. ❤

[@r.r.6863]

When our brother was 14, he did not come home one night when he clearly stated he’d be home at 11 pm. We could not locate or contact the friend he went out with (also 14). Worried sick, very early the next morning we called the non-emergency police number in Calgary. The officer who took the call totally didn’t give a shit. He’s just out with his friends. We tried to give as much information as possible. Their ages. They never did this before. This was very unusual. The other family cannot locate their son either. This was pre-cellphone era. The officer (I should say POS) became impatient, kept dismissing every thing we said, he was cruel & heartless. I asked him why he was a cop which made him angry. Very unprofessional cop was not going to do anything or process our call any further. It was mind blowing that he didn’t listen to anything we said. Turns out my brother & his friend met two older guys who took them to a party outside the city and left them there! The two took hours to walk back home in the dark but also slept in a field in the early morning hours. They arrived home in the afternoon starving, hungry, dusty, and in so much foot pain. They never went out without a quarter ever again! I’m grateful my brother was safe but cops then and today need empathy training and coaching on how to be human being toward families worried or in distress. Our situation turned out ok. I’m so sorry this mom received cruel treatment from the police. Condolences to all the family and friends. 💔

[@lunagoodhart5489]

I agree that the RMCP lied when they said they were believed he was alive and seen years after he was last seen at the campground. It was a tainted identification through photos. They know something happened to him at that campground but they botched the investigation from day one and never wanted to turn it around. Reminds me of the case of an Australian man Owen who disappeared in Canada after going to a music festival. He was assaulted & ended up disappearing from the hospital. I can't remember how many years it was before they found some of his remains in the forest. RMCP bodges that investigation and treated Owen's family poorly.

Bikers in the 80’s were wild back then. If you step out of line. There’s no telling what they will do. MAYBE he got too drunk and friendly and was annoying them. They have ways of dealing with situations like that. Just my opinion. And that manager definitely shady.

@@river8760 There’s a reason why that guy had his face blurred out and feared for his safety when he was talking. There were bikers in the mix. And if they actually had something to do with it.

[@katiebear]

This reminds me so much of Owen Rooney's case. He was an Australian man who also disappeared from Kelowna in 2010 after working in the area & going to a music festival. He was assaulted & ended up in hospital where he disappeared from. RMCP also botched his investigation & Owen's family was also treated horrendously by authorities. His remains were found in 2017 in the bush. Charles' Mum has been through hell & he definitely died at that campground. I don't believe he worked on May 26th

What up with the silence from other family members?

[@Liliarthan]

Good questions. One can only assume that he was out of the picture. Could have died or maybe have no relationship with Dennis and Charles. Dennis is such an extraordinary woman who did a remarkable job raising a lovely young man who had a loving relationship with her. She deserved to be treated so so much better. I usually refrain from imagining and wishing that the crimes didn’t happen in true crime cases because I know it wouldn’t change anything and I’d just end up too upset. But in this case I really really wished Charles went home to his mother instead of going to that awful place and for them to have spent their lives together. She’s been alone for all these years and seems alone now. It absolutely breaks my heart. As a mother, I can imagine myself doing the same as she did. 😔

Charles mother was and is a remarkable woman. She has gone on to advocate for the missing loved ones from peoples worlds. She and others who have missing loved ones have also gone on to form the Missing People's Choir who perform to keep their loved ones in peoples minds and to hopefully find them. The choir came to the general publics notice when they performed on BGT UK, and won the hearts of millions around the world who also had missing loved ones. The BGT platform made a huge difference to their cause. I hope that sometime they have the answers.

Imagine one day she finds him before she rest in peace 🥺 well I pray for her

Charles is LONG-GONE and it's much better to move on than kill oneself as well with GRIEF! I lost my daughter in 1992 and I have accepted that a LONG time ago!

@@mr.blackhawk142 I’m sorry for your loss ☹️

Something about that campsite manager is off 🤔

[@taniamayer5125]

Park manager is guilty and the authorities are useless over there. Its not the first time they cant be stuffed and their incompetence shines through. Poor, unfortunate mother having to deal with their crap!

Later sightings prove corruption,still covering up.Sickening that RCMP adding that to the mix.

What a tragic story Charles poor mother…what she has had to go through is heartbreaking 💔 all the crimes I have watched that involve the Canadian justice system has a lot to be desired…and the apathy about the whole case from the start was disgusting…as for Phil Flett it’s hard to believe he knew nothing…now he’s deceased…I hope Charles mother finds out something about her son before she passes on…so sad…RIP Charles wherever you are ❤

Something is off about the mother's account with the police putting her in psych

[@aguilona]

The mother should go to a good medium. They are using them more and more, with good results.
