The Winnipeg Free Press suggests Vince Li, spent nearly an hour chatting up the victim's female co-worker during their ride through western Manitoba.

The pair seemed friendly but as the bus resumed its ill-fated journey towards Winnipeg, Li suddenly moved to the back of the bus and sat down beside McLean, who was listening to his headphones and apparently asleep.
