“He’s a loss to so many people.

“And his girlfriend also. It’s just devastating and our heart goes out to the whole of her family. You know, we’re just crushed.”

The couple’s van broke down at another location on the remote Alaska Highway before reaching the spot where they were seen arguing with a “bearded man”.

The couple’s bodies are now in Vancouver being examined by forensic experts for any clues to identify their killer.
