In our most recent episode, we delve into the tragic deaths of Lucas Fowler, Chynna Deese, and Leonard Dyck—the victims of a horrifying crime spree that shocked Canada in 2019. Lucas and Chynna, a couple from Australia and the United States, were on a dream road trip in British Columbia when their lives were cut short in a brutal and senseless act of violence. We’ll explore their love story, their hopes for the future, and the profound loss felt by their families and communities.

We also remember Leonard Dyck, a dedicated and beloved member of his community, whose life was tragically taken during the same violent spree.

We’ll also detail the timeline and extensive manhunt that followed, showcasing the massive effort by Canadian authorities to locate Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod. With hundreds of officers, specialized teams, and widespread media coverage, the search underscored the scale of the investigation and the commitment to seeking justice for Lucas, Chynna, and Leonard.

TNTC+ THE MAINE REGISTRY MURDERS

In April 2006, a 20-year-old man drove from Nova Scotia to Maine with a chilling plan. Armed with names and addresses from the state’s s*x offender registry, he hunted down two men, Joseph Gray and William Elliott, in a series of calculated attacks. What compelled this seemingly ordinary young man to cross borders and commit such violent crimes? In this episode, we explore the events leading up to the murders, the controversy surrounding public registries, and the unsettling questions left in the wake of his actions.
