In August 1989, 26-year-old Ronnie Jack, his wife Doreen, and their two young sons vanished after Ronnie accepted a job offer from a mysterious stranger
This is both so sad and so frustrating. I think I believe the anonymous phone call regarding the burial at the unidentified ranch - it would be rather a stretch to believe anyone would call the police and say it. Tragic.
I would think the false report of them being safe and sound is due to a sighting of them by police officers at close range: we can presume the kidnappers were watching the family. Burns Lake is named after Indian Agent Burns of Harrison Hot Springs who introduced Bigfoot to the world on April Fools' Day C.E. 1928, and the area is known for remote logging roads, which are also known for Bigfoot sightings. Loggers are known for playing pranks and also get into conflict with Native people, implying some mountain men and cowboys decided to kidnap and kill the Jack family for being Native, albeit first they had the father work for a day, then kidnapped them and forced them to work as slaves, then in order to hide the evidence they were going to traffic them but they family fought back and were killed. The mountain men and cowboys buried the bodies at a dude ranch i.e. somewhere remote, and I would think the cowboys were related to the ranch owner, who was also involved. Scottish - including Orcadians and Shetlanders - Anglo-Scottish, and Ulster-Scots fur traders who became part of the western montane (mountain man) folk culture helped inspire Sasquatch legends due to their violent and drunken behaviour (the correct term for Bigfoot is "sas'-qets" and the anglicization is "Sasquatch," but whilst "sas'-qets" seems to mean "wild hairy tall" "Sasquatch" means "Scottish") so this fits with the Native family being lured into a remote logging camp, enslaved, then murdered.
Too bad he wasn’t Billy.
Billy?
I have no idea what I meant.
Must be a typo of some sort.

Very tragic! It certainly sounds like they were tricked in the worst way possible.
