"I don't want any father to find out his son is missing from the media, I don't want any father to find out his son is dead from the media," says Al Schmegelsky in the complaint.

The amount includes only the cost incurred by the Manitoba RCMP during the 17-day search through the province's northern terrain, a spokesperson says.

The report says a male got out of the passenger side holding a long gun, and then walked towards the tree line and started ``moving towards the witness in a tactical or hunting stance.''

Families of the suspects and victims reacted to the RCMP's investigative findings, but admitted there are still many unanswered questions.

The three people murdered in northern B.C. by two young men this summer were killed by gunshot wounds, with casings found at both crime scenes matching each other.

RCMP has said it was committed to sharing the details of the investigation with the public after providing updates to the families of the victims and suspects.

A lawyer for Alan Schmegelsky says the RCMP has refused to release a video of Bryer Schmegelsky's "last will and testament" to his father.

The Manitoba Medical Examiner completed the autopsies of two bodies RCMP officers found in northern Manitoba and confirmed they belonged to Kam McLeod and Bryer Schmegelsky.

Kennedy Deese also said Allan Schmegelsky isn't "cut from the same cloth'' as her family, and that he doesn't acknowledge his own hand in his child's upbringing and ultimate demise.
