This one hit home for me, because I am from Vancouver Island. I was on a solo bike (Bicycle) tour that summer in the same area. A friend of mine called me out of the blue and warned me to get off the road now. He explained; there was someone killing people on the roads. This was news to me, and freaked me out. I did bike to the nearest town where I got myself a hotel and stayed for 3 days. While there, I watched the news closely; when I felt it was safe...I biked home. I did shed some tears; I felt so sorry for those people they murdered, It is such a shame. That being said, I was so thankful to be alive and that I did not cross there path...I would have been an easy target.

@@upstar21t I'm Asian and speaking for myself personally, I would say my many encounters with police were mostly pleasant (traffic violations, 80% of the time was let off with warning) in my youth they were pretty harsh but I think it had more to do with the area I lived in at the time which was low income higher crime rate area. A few of my black friends have been pulled over for driving a new car. With Asians I think you will find they have an easier time if they are fluent in the English language. Natives face a different kind of racism but it's difficult to describe. With black people I believe it is more ignorance/hate, and with first Nations it's dismissive and the attitude of "your own fault for finding yourself in this position so deal with it" I remember this pretty white girl from highschool anytime I or my Indian friend went to her house and the father answered the door he would call for his daughter, "hon the Chinese food/taxi is here for you' have a chuckle.

We see drug crime, gang crime, the occasional serial killer, and of course the highway of tears. But you know something? Us Canadians, we aren’t as nice and friendly as the world believes us to be. There’s a true darkness here. And for a country as large as ours with a population that’s less than many large cities like Tokyo or Mexico City, we have some an inordinate amount of truly evil people. My husband, in his youth, was best friends with a murderer and probable serial killer. I’ve met Cody Ledgebekoff, I live in the same town he murdered women in and went to the same school as one of his victims. One of the girls I went to high school with is in prison for gruesomely slaughtering people’s pets, and when they arrested her they discovered her notebook detailing her plans of moving on to homeless people 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣. She spoke to me once about how she was angry at a girl, her friend or sister -I can’t remember- and her plan was to go to this girls’ school and “kick the shit out of her” and she was laughing as she was demonstrating to me how she would do this. She had inserted several razor blades in the soles of her combat boots. I regret this, but I said nothing to anyone about that. I never saw her again after that, and a few years later I was reading about her in the news. There’s so much more. Too much. Be wary in Canada. Don’t trust the people here too easily and don’t believe the stereotypes.

When you talked about the old man who's a botany professor it really hit me because my mom too is a botany professor, she's in her late 50s and often takes solo trips to the natural areas like woods, nearby lakes, etc Inorder to relax and sometime even collect rare specimens for her students. Her University too is about an hour away in the outskirts and she drives there alone. It made me scared for her life

[@jameshiggins6716]

There was also a very close call with another potential victim on a remote part of the highway. The man was driving from Alaska to somewhere in the US and stopped along the Canadian highway a little while after crossing the Alaskan border into BC to sleep. He was in his back seat about to take a nap when he noticed a truck pass by slowly and a person with a long gun exited and started to come up behind him while the truck he got out of attempted to be him in. He was able to jump in the front seat and drove around the truck before he was totally boxed in and drove straight home. It wasn't until days later when his friend pointed out the news story that he realized just how lucky he was to be alive. I don't remember his name or what state he lives in but it is quite a harrowing tale to say the least.

[@Undivided_X]

Close shave indeed. I can't imagine what his reaction would have been at the time, and how he managed to save himself from 2 killers.

I travelled alone on that circle route from my home in Victoria up to Prince George, the sad Highway of Tears, Terrace, Dease Lake, Watson Lake, Liard Hot Springs which is just park, with incredibly drlightful hot springs, then down to Fort Nelson, Chetwynd, etc...

He clearly had no real friends. Idc if I've known you for 20 years, that GIGANTIC red flag right there? I'm telling someone, anyone, EVERYONE. That's beyond making someone uncomfortable.

I get all the edge lords and shit talkers make it hard to discern the true wack jobs but...damn. That's a LOT of evidence these two were seriously considering doing some ef'd up stuff. They set out to find work and were like "Damn...no jobs...wanna go on a killing spree instead?" "Sure!" Edit: Just based off the photos you can tell Bryer is a complete beta follower. He's never in front. Always behind and to the side. Cam makes all the decisions, drives the car, pays for things, most likely made all the plans as well. Bryer was just following him like a lost puppy the whole time. He offed bryer in the end then himself. Idk...cam is the real monster here. Not saying bryer isn't a POS but cam was calling the shots.
