Hi, I'm Christy Lee, and welcome to episode 200 of Canadian True Crime. I started this podcast nine years ago as a passion project, and it still is today, so thank you so much for joining me. This special four-part series has been pieced together primarily from the public record, including court documents, newspaper archives, the final report of the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry, and On the Farm, the definitive book by the late award-winning investigative journalist Stevie Cameron. Please be aware this series includes distressing details that might be difficult to hear. There's also mention of sexual assault, residential schools, indigenous issues, child abuse, and suicide. Please see the show notes for crisis referral services. Proceeds are being donated to the Wish Drop-In Centre Society, supporting street-based sex workers on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside since 1984.
