Provencher/Scurr crime scene (aerial)

A 61m aerial view overlooking Highway 1 (Trans-Canada Highway) w/ Rannie Pit Road north of Spences Bridge, British Columbia.  More info below:

 

On July 17, 2019, 38-year-old Ryan Provencher and 37-year-old Richard Scurr were seen in South Surrey, in the Greater Vancouver area. Provencher has been described as a 5’10’’, 180-pound Caucasian male with a slim build, while Scurr has been described as a 6’4’’, 220-pound Caucasian male with an athletic build. Both men lived in Surrey at the time.  The pair made the three-hour drive up the Trans-Canada Highway to Spences Bridge. This was a trip which Provencher made often, having business in the area at a particular property, the nature of which police have refused to disclose. The RCMP officers who later investigated the pair’s disappearance said they have reason to believe the two men arrived at their destination.

 

Provencher and Scurr did not return from their trip to Spences Bridge and were reported missing soon afterward. On July 21st, four days after they were last seen, Provencher’s white 2019 Jeep Cherokee was discovered, parked in a wooded area on a logging road near easterly Logan Lake.  There were no signs of Provencher or Scurr in its vicinity, and no indications that anything untoward had occurred at the site. Reports of the discovery include what appear to be a number of strange and inconsistent geographical mistakes. Although all articles on the subject declared that the van was found near Logan Lake, most of them also claimed that it was found 100 kilometres (62 miles) east of Spences Bridge.

 

Following the discovery of the abandoned Jeep, the RCMP’s Southeast District Major Crimes Unit assisted both the Ashcroft and Lytton RCMP detachments in the investigation into Provencher and Scurr’s disappearances, indicating the Mounties had reason to believe foul play was involved. On August 2nd, the investigators executed a search warrant on a rural property in Spences Bridge- the same mysterious property in which Provencher purportedly had a business interest. The police spent several hours at the site, but neglected to inform the public of what, if anything, they found there.

 

On August 17th, 2019, exactly a month after the disappearance, the bodies of Ryan Provencher and Richard Scurr were discovered in a rural area north of Spences Bridge along the Rannie Pit Road area. The RCMP officers who investigated the scene concluded that there was “criminal behavior” associated with the case, but refused to elaborate on the manner of the men’s deaths.

 

Some reporters from Prince George, British Columbia, made a compelling case that the deaths of Provencher and Scurr were related to organized crime, observing that Richard Scurr had been charged with a number of criminal offences in his younger years, and had once been the leader of a Prince George street gang called “The Crew.” According to the RCMP, in the early 2000s, there were three main organized crime gangs in Prince George: the Renegades, the Independent Soldiers, and the Crew, all of which were affiliates of the Vancouver branch of the notorious outlaw biker gang Hells Angels. At the time of Scurr’s involvement, an unnamed splinter group fractured from the Independent Soldiers and began a turf war with the other gangs, vying for control of the local drug trade. The ensuing violence prompted an RCMP crackdown on organized crime in B.C.’s so-called “Northern Capital” which caught Richard Scurr in its crosshairs.

 

Considering his shady past, some reporters speculated that Richard Scurr and his acquaintance, Ryan Provencher, had been murdered by members of the British Columbian underworld.

More About Canada

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore."It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, VancouverText by Steve Smith.
