Most of these towns exist only because of the sawmill or papermill in these locations. I would not be surprised if it was a truck driver. They travel these roads more than anyone else. The trucker may not be even from BC or Alberta.
I deal with several companies that bring lumber from British Columbia and Alberta into the states west of the Mississippi. It litterally could be someone from Boise that travels up to Prince George and then comes back to the US with a return load.
So the truth is probably that there is likely a serial killer operating in the area, but he’s not responsible for all forty of the victims found in the area.
Many serial killers start in their late teens/early twenties, so even if we are talking about one guy whose career started with the earliest of the murders, he wouldn’t necessarily be that old.
I remember once when I was growing up in Kansas in the 50s, my dad took us on a trip through Colorado. I had never seen a proper hill before, much less a mountain. I went ape****.
We drank raw natural untreated water out of burbling streams that my dad approved. It was delicious. It probably wasn't advisable, even in the 50s, but it was delicious and didn't make us sick.
I live for the wilderness. Or the memory of it. I'd love to take that trip through BC. But the place I'm really dying to see... before I actually do die... is Nahanni. Have you ever been there?
That was my first thought: Bears. Then, Big Foot. Then I chuckled a little bit and came back to bears. It very well could be bears, in at least a few of the cases. Not sure about wolves.
But they don’t mention any men being killed or disappearing along that stretch of road. Bears wouldn’t be that selective in their choice of victims. But then, neither would most serial killers.
