The man responsible for one of B.C.’s most horrifying mass murders has again been denied parole.
In August of 1982, David Shearing, who now goes by David Ennis, shot grandparents George and Edith Bentley and parents Bob and Jackie Johnson as they camped just outside Wells Gray Provincial Park in Clearwater.
He then abducted the Johnsons’ 13- and 11-year-old daughters, Janet and Karen, and spent several days torturing and sexually assaulting them before killing them.

After a long, cross-Canada investigation, Ennis was arrested and later pleaded guilty to six counts of second-degree murder.
He was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 25 years.
He is incarcerated in Bowden, Alta. and was seeking to live an hour from there if he was granted parole.
