Canadian police locate burnt-out car linked to murder of Charlotte woman, boyfriend

The car likely was driven by the suspects, who are considered arm and extremely dangerous.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Canadian police have located a burnt-out car believed to have been driven by the two suspects wanted for murdering 24-year-old Chynna Deese, of Charlotte, and 23-year-old Lucas Fowler, of Australia.

Police have narrowed their search towards Gillam in northern Manitoba, Canada. Police believe the suspects are in the area and are bringing in additional resources to aid in the search. A check point is being setup on the main road leading to the town.

Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky were named suspects in the murders Tuesday. The two were initially reported missing near the same location where Deese and Fowler were found. Police now believe the pair killed the couple, along with a third man also found dead in the area.
