Bryer Schmegelsky (left) and Kam McLeod sparked a nationwide manhunt after killing three people along a remote stretch of Canadian highway. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has released a report on its investigation, which points to the murders as being random and suggests the teens were seeking "notoriety" for their bloodshed. "There's no indication these were planned or predicted," Assistant commissioner Kevin Hackett told reporters at a briefing in Vancouver. On one 58-second video, Schmegelsky admits "they are responsible for the three murders" and "they were going to march to Hudson Bay where they planned to hijack a boat and go to Europe or Africa". In another video, Schmegelsky describes how "they have shaved in preparation for their own death" and "plan to go back to kill more people and expect to be dead in a week".
