In May of 1985, two Mackenzie teenagers went missing...
The girl had been forbidden by her parents to date the boy because she was too young and RCMP, initially, believed the pair had run away to be together.
This past May 8th, almost 20-years to the day later, their skeletal remains were found by a Search and Rescue team on a training exercise in a forested area on the outskirts of the community.
Now, the B.C. Coroner's Service has released a Judgement of Inquiry into the deaths of 15-year-old Tamara Morrissey and 18-year-old Robert William Fisher.
Coroner, Michael Green, has ruled the deaths suicide, saying both Morrissey and Fisher died from single, self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head. Green says two .22 caliber rifles were located at the base of a tree in close proximity to the remains.
Their frustration at being kept apart was mentioned in several love notes and letters found after their disappearance, as was suicide.

They are consumed with that love-and one must only think back to their first love.
How could these young people be so driven by their parents objections that they took their own lives.
It is so very sad.
