Investigators In P.G. to Talk About Bobby Jack Fowler
Wednesday, September 26, 2012 @ 3:59 AM
Prince George, B.C. – The search for links between historic homicides, the Highway of Tears and Bobby Jack Fowler of Oregon, comes to Prince George today.
Inspector Gary Shinkaruk of the RCMP Major Crimes Unit will be here this afternoon to talk with local members of the media about Fowler and the need to spread the word for information.
Police have linked the now deceased Fowler to the murder of Colleen McMillen of Lac La Hache in August of 1974 . He is also considered a suspect in the 1973 murders of two young women, Gale Weys of Clearwater, and Pamela Darlington of Kamloops.
While still a suspect in many of the murdered and missing women cases , he could not possibly have been involved in the disappearance of Nicole Hoar in 2002, Tamara Chipman in 2005 and Aiela Saric-Auger in 2006 as Fowler was in prison at the time, and died in May of 2006.
Fowler worked for a Prince George roofing company in 1974. The company no longer exists, nor do the company’s records. Investigators say he was transient, violent, an alcoholic, and liked old cars.
Investigators are trying to fill in the gaps of Fowler’s whereabouts in the 1960’s, ‘70’s, 80’s and 1990’s.

I think its obvious that all those cases involve more than one killer. My opinion has always been that these are mostly cases of transient strangers to the area. I’m not surprised at all to find out one of the killers is an American transient. That why you have cases like this all across Canada and the United States.
IMO it just goes to show that hitch hiking and like risk activities are not a good idea anywhere, not just in the North.
