Summary

Episode 030: In August of 1982, Bob Johnson had not come back to work at the saw mill in Kelowna for over a week after his expected return. Bob had been camping in beautiful Wells Gray Park with his wife Jackie, daughters Janet and Karen and Jackie's mom and dad, Edith and George Benntley. It seemed both families, and their two vehicles had simply vanished without a trace until a month later when a mushroom picker in the park made a gruesome discovery. BONUS: The co-host of this show HATES being referred to as "the other guy". His name is Scott, remember it. CONTENT WARNING: Dark Poutine is not for the faint of heart or squeamish. Our content contains mature themes, coarse language and may include graphic descriptions of violent crimes. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

0:00.0	Hey Mike here, I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to Dark Poutine early and
0:04.7	add free on Amazon Music, included with Prime. You're about to listen to a historical episode
0:10.8	of Dark Poutine. After episode 149, you will find Scott is no longer with the show.
0:16.9	In an effort to maintain continuity and offer listeners as many episodes as possible,
0:22.1	we are leaving the episodes in which he co-hosted intact. Thank you.
0:30.4	Before we start our Dark Poutine show, I wanted to add something that's a little more Canadian
0:39.6	to the show. So, kakra! Well, kind of.
0:51.8	Welcome to Dark Poutine. That's not murder at all. It's not murder at all, but it's very Canadian.
0:57.6	It's very Canadian. It puts people at ease before we start to talk about murder before we give them
1:02.7	anxiety. That's right. We'll lure you in. For those of you who are unaware of what those
1:08.3	haunting sounds were, that was a loon on a lake. It's a water bird found here in Canada and you can
1:15.4	see a loon on our dollar bill, the loony. And we're going to play that at the beginning of every show.
1:22.1	My name is Mike Brown. I'm the creator and host. With me as usual is my good friend
1:26.7	co-host Scott Hemmanway. Hi everybody. He's here to listen to me tell him a scary story about his
1:32.4	hometown this week. Yeah, my roots. As our content contains mature themes, harsh language and
1:38.3	graphic descriptions of violent crimes, listener discretion is strongly advised. We're not experts on
1:44.3	any of the topics we present, nor are we professional journalists. That is probably clear to anybody
1:50.0	who has listened to this show at least once. We're just two regular Canadians interested in the darker
1:55.8	side of Canadian history. Here regular maybe. Well, I'm pretty regular. I eat a lot of fiber.
2:01.6	Yeah, I guess if we're going in that sense, I'm coach regular. In August of 1982, three generations
2:08.4	of a family, six people went off on a two week camping trip around the Wells Gray National Park near
2:14.9	Clearwater, BC. Where I happen to be born. That is correct. It's amazing that you know that.
