Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder.
All things that I like to talk about, and I know you do too, you sick-minded intellectual, beautiful-minded freak.
I forgot what I usually say.
And my mustache fell off.
Today we will be covering three bones...
Do I have hair in my mouth?
Oh, I do.
Today, we are going to be covering three bone-chilling Canadian murders that I am certain you have not heard about.
And not just any murders, but multiple murders, aka C.
serial killers. So let's unbuckle their seatbelts, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the brakes,
and bust through this windshield into these Canadian crime cases together.
So first thing, we are going to talk about the Calgary serial killer. So in the 1970s, a very
strange sequence of murders occurred in Calgary, Canada. And there is a little catch to this
story, but these murders were once unsolved until the evolution of DNA technology came to play
and linked these crimes to a particular man, but we will talk about that.
after. So four women would be killed between the years of
1976 and 1977. Patricia McQueen, Eva Dvorick, Melissa Rohorik,
and Barbara McClain. So let's talk about the first victims. The first two
murders were actually friends and students in grades eight and nine who attended
the easel Basil Guit Junior High School in Calgary. And Patricia McQueen
resided at 222037th Street southeast in the Forest Heights area while her
friend Eva lived at 3131 30 Avenue.
South East in Dover.
And they would be last seen hitchhiking,
don't hitchhike...
at 12th Street and 9th Avenue, Southeast,
on February 12th, 1976.
And the girls were supposedly told to lead the premises
after being found drinking,
and obviously being underage at the time.
They then were seen as well out partying
for the next few days, taking different drugs,
such as LSD, weed, and drinking alcohol as well.
And a neighbor then saw them hitchhiking,
and they were offered a road.
ride, which thankfully they declined. But after this, they completely disappeared. And there was no trace of them ever being alive after this. And it wouldn't be until February 15th, about three days after, when their bodies were found under an overpass, unfortunately named Happy Valley. And an autopsy would reveal that they died from
exfixiation and clear signs of essay. Although there were no marks on their necks to indicate
exfixiation in the way of choking. And the autopsy would also conclude that the drugs in their
system were not the cause of their deaths either. And the clothes in the positions the bodies were found
in suggested that the bodies were just dumped and left. And whatever happened to them did not
occur in Happy Valley. And unfortunately, this is where this particular case would run cold. And no
answers and no suspects would be found for decades. And the next victim of the Calgary
serial killer was Melissa Rearick, who was a 20-year-old woman originally from Windsor, Ontario,
and later moved to Calgary in 1976, hoping to find more work. And she would eventually find a job
as a housekeeper at a hotel and lived at the YMCA, as money was tight. And this would unfortunately
lead to her death, as one of her hobbies was spending time outdoors. And since money was tight,
she also decided to hitchhike. Don't hitchhike out west to enjoy some hiking in the mountains
for the weekend on September 15th, 1976.
And she would be last seen by her roommate at the YMCA,
supposedly around 9.30 p.m.
However, a Calgary transit driver reported that he may have dropped Belisa off
near Highway 1 in the Bowness area.
Strangely enough, right next to Happy Valley,
where the other two girls were found.
And the next morning, September 16th, 1976,
a body would be found in a ditch about 22 kilometers outside the city
on a gravel road at around 10.50 a.m. near the TransCanada Highway.
and she would be found fully clothed and had all of her possessions, including her cash.
And the autopsy revealed that there had been a struggle with damage to her head specifically.
There were also signs of SA, and the cause of death was also exfixiation, just like the other two victims.
However, found in her hand were long black hairs that weren't hers, because assuming during the struggle, she probably was fighting,
and she pulled the hairs out of the killer's head and held on to them after she died.
But with limited technology at the time, the culprit could not be identified.
identified yet.
Which brings us to our fourth and final victim, Barbara McLean.
So the supposed last victim of the Calgary serial killer was Barbara McClain, who was 19 years old
and was employed at a bank and was originally from Nova Scotia.
And six months later, she would be killed by this mysterious serial killer.
An overly social and free-spirited soul, she would often go out with her friends to local
bars.
And living with her boyfriend at the time, she and her partner decided to go to Highlander
bar and meet up with some friends on February 25th, 19th.
And according to witnesses, she was highly intoxicated this night and actually had a fight with her boyfriend, which eventually led to him being evicted from the bar.
And she would continue without him and continue partying with her friends till about 2.30 a.m. when the bar closed.
And she would then reunite with her boyfriend in their car where the argument developed and led her to get out of the car.
Being left behind by her stupid fucking boyfriend in the parking lot alone at night.
And being extremely intoxicated, she had no other way to get home.
except for hitchhiking because Uber and I guess taxis weren't really a thing. I don't
fucking know. I mean I know that Uber wasn't around but I assuming this area
probably just didn't have a lot of taxis at the time. And her plan was to go
to another party to keep the buzz going. I mean she was she was 19 so I understand
I was never much of a party animal but she would unfortunately never arrive at
that next party spot. So as the next morning started she was nowhere to be seen.
However she would then be discovered by a passerby who was walking his dog finding
her body on a Calgary Road right outside the Calgary City limits.
She was reported fully clothed, again, with all of her belongings.
However, her jacket was inside out.
And she had obvious markings on her body from bruises and more.
And no signs of SA were mentioned in the early reports until there was
semenal fluid that was recovered at the crime scene later on.
But again, no suspects were ever found until decades later.
As technology would evolve, they would finally develop and reopen the case
to catch the Calgary serial killer.
And multiple more disappearances and murders
would happen over the years in Calgary.
However, it wasn't until very recently
that some of these would actually be solved
and be linked to a man named Gary Allen Sruh.
So let's talk about this piece of shit
and how technically this case wasn't officially solved.
So Gary Allen Sruery, if I'm saying your name wrong,
I don't give a fuck because you're a piece of shit.
Was a man with a criminal record, let's just say that.
He was born in 1942 in Oak Pork, Pork, Park, Park,
Oak Park, Illinois, and he truly was a criminal at heart,
with theft and evolved into charged convict
after being arrested in Los Angeles.
For brutal, S.A. Grape Sodomy and kidnapping.
Just like, he really ticked him off really quick,
just all the bad things, except for murder, yet.
And he would then serve his time in San Quentin,
and was released.
But the crimes obviously did not stop there.
In 1974, for example, he was posted for bail
for yet another grape charge in California,
escaping the United States to avoid responsibility.
Look at this piece of shit.
He looks like he, he just looks like it, you know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
He's got one of those faces, just, I tell you what.
And his time in Canada was chock full of more crimes,
illegally coming into the country
and living under multiple aliases to hide from the law.
And these names ranged from Willie Long, Rex Long, and William Rex Long.
I guess this guy really like T-Rexes or something.
I don't really know.
I don't know.
Maybe he's got like really short arms or something.
I don't know.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Just.
But he would then spend most of his time working menial jobs under these aliases.
Usually for like under the table cash as to not have his name or names linked to anything.
And he would spend most of his time in Alberta and British Columbia, shout out to British Columbia,
between 1976 and 2003.
And he would change his vehicles and disguises frequently
so as to not raise suspicion.
So between 1976 and 1977,
when the four murders took place,
he was frequently evading the law
thanks to the lack of technology for forensics.
And also changing disguises and more, like we talked about.
He would also continually move around constantly
as to evade the law, making it extremely hard
for the police to nail him down.
And there are questions from authorities
if he truly was the one responsible for the four,
but it's unclear.
The force never truly closed the cases,
reopening them frequently
and exchanging notes between precincts.
And in the 1990s, they would reopen the cases
to investigate the DNA traces left behind
at the scenes of the crime.
And in 2003, they created a DNA profile
for this unknown man to hopefully find more evidence in the future.
And what they were able to find was a link
between Melissa and Barbara.
And it would be found that they were murdered
by the same person.
And thankfully, the case would finally actually be solved
due to the evolution
of the DNA technology and the case would be reopened in 2003.
And these connections finally linked to the culprit,
Gary Allen Sruh, who was completely off the radar
for the initial investigation.
But thanks to the help of the US,
the cross-reference databases had matched.
However, and this is where it's where he wasn't technically caught,
the fucker died.
The motherfucker died before he could have got caught.
And he died in 2011.
So it was like 12 years after when he got caught.
So just bullshit.
And it is very unsure if those are the only crimes or murders that he committed in Canada.
I'm going to safely assume he's murdered a lot more people.
Because his history just speaks for itself.
And there's no doubt as more investigations are reopened,
the families of the victims can finally be given closure,
knowing that the deaths of their families had been solved.
At least we have that.
At least we have closure for the families.
But Gary is truly looking up at us from down below.
Just flaming, just boiling and burning.
and broiling in hell. And this is the victim's family's responses to the solved murders.
Quote unquote, saying,
we would like to thank from the bottom of our hearts the team of individuals who work so many
days in countless hours on solving this cold case. Without them, we would still not know today
what happened to our sister Patsy, Patricia, and her friend Eva. We will forever be grateful and
thankful that they never gave up on our girls, said the Bequeen family in a statement. And the
Dvorke's family said that they are thankful for the closure they have been given as well, saying,
quote unquote. Eva was loved and cherished by her family and all who knew her. Her bright
smile and bubbly personality was contagious and lit up any room. When Eva was around,
there was no sitting still, always dancing and singing any time of the day. She enjoyed
spending time with her sisters and cousins while swimming, roller skating, and ice skating.
And from Melissa's family, our message is one about Melissa, being a fun, loving, adventurous,
and hardworking person. She was honest, positive person who trusted people. She enjoyed traveling
to Banff. I love Banff. For her love of nature, but also to travel.
for her curiosity about seeing Canada.
The McLean's also expressed appreciation,
finally having the answers to questions
that we've had to live with all these years.
So I think that's, I mean, that's like the most important part
is that these families got closure.
But there are a lot of other families
who had people that when missing and murdered
that are still unsolved and might be linked to Gary,
piece of shit, Gary.
So hopefully they're able to figure those out.
But that is all we have for the first case
and we move on to the second uncought killer.
And this is actually like plural, uncought killer.
killers. There could be a span of serial killers for this case, and that is the Highway of Tears.
And for those of you who don't know, the Highway of Tears refers to a remote and infamous
stretch of Highway 16 in British Columbia, Canada, where numerous indigenous women and girls,
along with some non-indigenous women, but mostly indigenous women, have gone missing or been found
murdered over several decades. Stretching over 720 kilometers, or for my Americans, uh, about 450 miles,
from Prince George to Prince Rupert,
this highway has been the site of tragedies
that have left many families shattered
and questions unanswered.
And the ongoing mysteries surrounding these cases
has not only exposed systemic issues
within the investigation processes,
but also highlighted the vulnerability
of indigenous women in Canadian society.
Because between 1969 and 2011, over 40 women,
most of which are indigenous women,
have gone missing or have been murdered,
near, or alongside the high.
Highway and indigenous women in Canada specifically face disproportionately high rates of violence
and systemic neglect from law enforcement and government institutions.
And the cases on Highway 16 have gained international attention, underscoring the need for structural
changes to address not just these specific cases, but also the broader national crisis.
So let's get into some of the victims and some of the suspects.
And I quite literally cannot talk about every single victim because there are so many.
There are so many more than 40.
So I will just talk about some of the better known cases
because a lot of them like I said,
are just kind of like brushed under the rug.
So I will highlight some of the ones that are more known
and then we'll get into who some of the suspects are
and what some of the theories are.
So we're gonna start off with Gloria Moody.
Gloria Moody was aged 26 and she was a mother of two
from Bella Kula First Nation.
And on October 25th, 1969, Gloria was last seen
leaving a bar in Williams Lake.
She had been out spending an evening,
just socializing with friends and partying.
as you do. Because there's not a lot else to do up there. I'm going to be honest.
But unfortunately, her body would be discovered the next day in a remote cattle field
outside of the town, approximately 10 kilometers from where she was last seen.
And the autopsy would show that Gloria had been beaten to death.
The cause of death was determined by blunt force trauma and exposure to the elements.
And despite an investigation, no suspects have been publicly identified.
And her murder remains unsolved.
Not unlike all the other victims I'm going to talk about.
And next is Monica Ignis.
15-year-old Monica Ignis was a young student attending school in Thornhill, British Columbia.
And on December 13, 1974, Monica would be walking home from her school, Thornhill, near Terrace, when she disappeared.
And six days after her disappearance, her body would be found in a forested area off Highway 16 near Terrace.
And Monica had been strangled to death.
And no suspects had been publicly named, and her case remains unsolved.
Next, we have Maureen Mosey.
33-year-old Maureen Mosey was a non-indigenous woman living.
in Alberta.
And she was known to hitchhike regularly across British Columbia and Alberta don't hitchhike.
And Maureen would be last seen hitchhiking near Salmon Arm in British Columbia on May 8th,
1981.
And her body would be found the next day along the stretch of Highway 97 near Kamloos, British
Columbia, about 150 kilometers south of the Highway of Tears region.
And Marine had also been beaten to death.
And despite this case being widely publicized, it remains unsolved with no suspects.
And next we have Alberta Williams, who was a 24-4-4-4-7-ytheworthyed.
year old indigenous woman from Gitson First Nation in northern British Columbia and she lived in
Prince Rupert, a city near the western end of the highway of tears like we talked about.
And on August 26, 1989, Alberta would be last seen leaving a pub in Prince Rupert with her friends
and her sister. Alberta and the group of friends had been celebrating the end of the salmon
fishing season. But later that night, she would disappear and her body would be found on September 25th,
in 1989 in a rural area along the Highway 16 near the Skeena River. And Alberta had been
essayed and strangled to death. And despite extensive investigation at this time, no charges were
ever laid. But in 2016, the CBC podcast Missing and Murdered, Who Killed Alberta Williams? Renewed
Interest in the case, but it now still remains unsolved. Next, we have Ramona Wilson.
16-year-old Ramona Wilson was a high school student from the Getson Nation, living in Smithers,
British Columbia. And on June 11th, 1994, Ramona was last seen hitchhiking to attend a dance in
Hazleton, a small community near Smithers, but unfortunately, she would never arrive to her destination.
And Ramona's remains would be found nearly a year later in April 1995, near the Smithers Airport
not far from Highway 16. And due to the condition of her remains, the cause of death was
never actually determined, but investigators suspected foul play. Several items, including rope and other
objects, were found near her body, indicating she may have been bound or reshundred.
strained in some way. Next we have Ayla Sarak Auger. Ayla was an indigenous teenager from the
Ladley-Tenei First Nation in Prince George, British Columbia. I'm sorry if I pronounce that wrong. And she
would be last seen on February 2nd, 2006 in Prince George. And she would be last seen walking along
Highway 16 when she vanished. And her body would be discovered one week later in a ditch along
Highway 16. About 15 kilometers outside of Prince George. So she was clearly like picked up or something
and then murdered. And the specific cause of her death was not publicly released, but it is known that
she was murdered. And her case remains unsolved. And the last victim we're going to talk about
because there's dozens and dozens more is Tamara Chipman. Tamara Chipman was also an indigenous
woman from the Metla-Kakla First Nation living in Prince Rupert. And tomorrow would be last
seen hitchhiking near an intersection along Highway 16 on a road leading to a Prince Rupert industrial site
on September 21st, 2005.
And she was attempting to hitch a ride home to Terrace.
But despite extensive searches,
tomorrow's body was actually never found.
And her family continues to advocate for answers.
And her case remains one of the most high profile
unsolved disappearances along the highway of tears.
And obviously since tomorrow's body had never been found,
her case still remains unresolved.
So while some of the cases share similarities,
such as the women disappearing while hitchhiking,
the diversity of the methods of killing,
such as strangulation, blood force, drama, and SA,
complicates efforts to link the cases to a single perpetrator, which I think is impossible that this
is a single perpetrator, quite literally. And many experts believe that many different killers
may have been operating along the highway of tiers during these years and over the decades,
taking advantage of the isolation of the area and the lack of resources for comprehensive investigations.
Essentially, it was just a perfect breeding ground for serial killers. So let's go over the leads and
suspects. So several very well-known serial killers have been considered suspects in a lot of
a lot of these unsolved murders along the highway of tears.
Given the vast span along this geographical isolated area,
investigators have entertained the possibility
that multiple serial offenders have preyed
on the vulnerable women hitchhiking along this remote highway.
So first, we'll start with Bobby Jack Fowler.
Bobby Jack Fowler was an American drifter
with a long criminal history, including S.A., attempted murder,
and kidnapping.
Just ticking all those fucking boxes.
He spent a lot of time working as a laborer in Canada
and the US in the 1970s and 80s,
a period of time when a lot of the murders occurred on the Highway of Tears.
And Fowler was definitively linked to a murder that happened in 1974,
which was the murder of a 16-year-old girl named Colleen McMillan,
one of the youngest victims along the Highway of Tears.
And in 2012, advances in DNA technology led to that match between Fowler's DNA and the
evidence from Colleen's murder.
She would also disappear while hitchhiking, and her body would be found shortly after.
But Fowler would die in prison in 2006.
But investigators do believe that he was responsible most of the same.
likely for additional murders along the highway of tears and potentially in other parts of the
U.S. and Canada. But again, we'll probably never know because he's dead. Fuck you. Burn in hell.
Next we have Cody Leg. Leg. Bekoff. Lege Bikoff. I don't care because you're stupid and a
piece of shit and you're awful. I don't care. I don't care how you say your name. Anyway.
Cody is a convicted Canadian serial killer and responsible for the murders of four women,
including a teenage girl between 2009 and 2010.
Cody was only 19 years old when he began his killing spree.
His victims, including a 15-year-old Loren Lizley, were all from British Columbia,
though not all of them were indigenous or connected to the Highway of Tears directly.
And where Cody's crimes do not precisely fit the pattern of the earlier Highway of Tears murders,
his proximity to the region and the nature of his crimes, targeting women in rural areas,
have race suspicion that he could be linked to other unresolved cases.
However, there is no conclusive evidence linking him to any of the Highway of Tears victims technically.
And his relative youth at the time of his conviction makes him less likely to have been involved in those earlier cases.
But investigators have not completely ruled him out as a suspect for recent disappearances.
And that brings us to Edward Dennis Isaac.
Edward Dennis Isaac is a lesser known suspect in the Highway of Tears murders.
He was convicted of the brutal grape and murder of a 49-year-old indigenous woman, Margaret Peggy Nicole,
in Prince George in 1981.
And Isaac had a history of violence
and was known to frequent the Highway 16, the Highway of Tears.
And while Isaac was only convicted of one murder,
his proximity to the Highway of Tears and his violent tendencies
had led some to speculate that he may be responsible
for some of the unresolved murders.
However, no direct evidence links him
to the Highway of Tears cases beyond his violent history.
But you could probably safely assume
that wasn't his first victim based off of his history.
Which brings us to a very, I think, likely suspect
the Green River killer, otherwise known as Gary Ridgeway.
And he is one of the most notorious serial killers in American history.
Let me know down below if you actually want me to do a deep dive on Gary Ridgeway,
because my God, it's something.
But anyway, he's responsible for the murders of at least 49 women in Washington State
during the 1980s to the 1990s.
And most of his victims were vulnerable women,
many of whom were Ladies of the Night or Runaways.
Ridgeway's killings primarily took place in Washington, but the geographic proximity of his hunting grounds to British Columbia has led to the speculation that he could have gone across the border to continue hunting.
Because the Pacific Northwest region of British Columbia has been a hotbed for serial killers.
And the Green River Killers M.O. targeting women along highways fits the pattern of the Highway of Tears murders.
However, again, there was no concrete evidence linking Ridgeway to any Canadian murders.
And he has never been formally named a suspect in the Highway of Tears cases.
And next we have Keith Hunter Jesperson, otherwise known as the Happy Face Killer.
Also let me know if you wanted me to do a deep dive on him because he is fucking something else too.
But Keith, otherwise known as a happy face killer, murdered at least eight women in the United States during the 1990s.
And Jesperson, a long-haul trucker, traveled extensively across North America,
leaving a trail of victims in multiple states.
And he earned his nickname by drawing happy faces on letters he sent to the Madyyty.
taunting authorities about his crimes, aka a piece of shit.
Jesperson's occupation as a long-haul trucker gave him the mobility to commit murders across vast distances,
aka possibly the Highway of Tears.
And he would admit murdering multiple victims over those span of years of the Highway of Tears victims
started to pile up.
However, no direct evidence has ever connected him to any specific case in the region.
But I feel like it's also fair to assume.
And last but not least, we have the infamous Robert Picton.
which if you don't know who that is, you could check out this video for a deep dive,
but my God, he's a piece of shit, and my God, he's dead. He died. He died like months after I did
that deep dive on him. I feel like it's probably for the best. But anyway, Robert Picton is one of
Canada's most infamous serial killers. I'd say the most infamous serial killer. But he was only
convicted of murdering six women, but suspected of killing many more, possibly up to 49.
And Robert Picton said that he wish he could have got to 50. So it's like almost a guaranteed 49. I
fucking hate him so much. He lived 20 minutes away for me. Anyway, Picton also preyed on vulnerable
women, mostly those that were ladies of the night as well in Vancouver's downtown east side,
and he would lure them back to his pig farm in poor Coquitlam, where they were murdered,
and their remains were disposed of in his pig farm, basically. But although his crimes did
mostly take place in Vancouver, the proximity to Highway 16 and the nature of his victims,
often marginalized women, has led some to speculate that he could be one of the people that murdered
women on the highway of tears. However, again, no evidence has been directly linked to Picton.
And given his geographical focus more so in the Vancouver area, it's probably more unlikely.
I'd say this is probably the most unlikely instance, but he's still a piece of shit and he's dead.
So, but the idea of multiple serial killers operating along the highway of tears is like the most
horrifying thing ever. And while some serial killers like Bobby Jack Fowler have been definitively linked to a victim along the highway,
others just remain speculative suspects due to the lack of conclusive evidence.
So it is likely that the combination of factors including serial offenders,
local predators, and possibly just opportunistic killings by individuals passing through the region,
contributed to the ongoing tragedy of the highway of tears.
And despite the ongoing investigation and public interest,
many of these cases remain unsolved.
Leaving open the possibility that some of these notorious killers may still be linked to some of these unresolved murders in the area.
And I think these women need fucking justice.
So I think shutting some light on the case might help in some way,
but I really think these families need closure.
And it's in my home, you know?
So yeah, that is our second, uncought killer,
and that brings us to our last.
And this last murder is probably the strangest murder yet.
To preface, despite the murder taking place in 2010,
it remains unsolved.
Furthermore, if you look up the murders,
there is barely any information available.
And many of the links that claim to have,
information about the cases often result in 505 errors. This indicates that there are issues
on the server sides and could potentially point to some sort of covering up. And this is the case of
the two maw family murders. Sorry if I'm pronouncing that wrong, I've looked everywhere to how
to pronounce this and for some reason I cannot find it. So I'm praying that that's how you say it.
On August 6th, 2010 in Regina, Canada, residents of a local town home began to complain of a
horrible smell coming from one of the neighbors' residences. And as soon as the property manager was
notified, they went over to check on the small family that resided there. And upon opening the
door and walking in, they were horrified to see the family of three brutally murdered and rotting
in their townhome. And the details of the crime scene have never been released or revealed. But it
has said that the actual crime scene was so atrocious that the body's decomposition process was
expedited due to the nature of their injuries. But the one definite piece of information that we do
have about the crime scene is that a gun was not used in the murders. And the three victims,
were Gray-Natou aged 31, his wife, mama, aged 28, and their three-year-old son,
7 June 2.
And it is believed that the family had been deceased for at least one day before being discovered
by the property manager.
And as soon as the bodies were discovered, a massive search began with at least 25
Regina officers working at one time.
And during the investigation, it was found that the family were Burmese refugees who came
to Canada from a refugee camp in Myanmar.
And they came to Canada in hopes to find a better life.
And the neighbors within the complex were interviewed, and they were interviewed, and
claimed that the family was extremely quiet and the wife and child hardly ever left the complex
unless the father was home. And Gray worked at a recycling plant and Mama was a stay-at-home mom.
And neighbors had also commented on how Gray was seemingly a very paranoid man. When he would leave
from his home to go to work, he was seen checking outside his front door multiple times,
ensuring that it was locked before he left. And it was said that suspicious-looking people
went in and out of the home on a regular basis. But the priest of the church that the family attended
to claim that the family was very happy to be in Canada,
but that they were struggling to make ends meet with just the father working.
And this could explain the sketchy people leaving and entering the house
because the family could have been engaging in some sort of illegal activities for extra cash.
And maybe that was why they were so brutally murdered because of a drug deal or something else that went wrong.
And the only real piece of evidence that we have of the night of the family getting murdered
comes from one of the neighbors named Mandy,
who claimed to hear what sounded like fireworks coming from the two residents.
More specifically, she said, quote unquote,
I know what fireworks sound like, and it wasn't fireworks.
It was very loud. It was close. Very close.
What the fuck was it, Mandy?
But it stated explicitly that a gun was not involved in the murder of the two family.
So what was Mandy hearing through the walls of her townhome?
Furthermore, she heard loud pops through the wall, but not screaming.
And it seems a little suspicious because if the murder was so gruesome
as investigators stated it was,
then someone probably should have been heard screaming at least once.
And if there was no screaming, then it was possible that maybe the murderer wasn't alone.
And maybe it was a group big enough for members to bind and maybe gag the family.
And during the investigation, the investigators interviewed quite literally hundreds of people from the Burmese and Karen.
Not just a Karen, but the Karen people are an ancient ethnic population from Burma.
And it was hard to gain any information at first because of the language barrier, but an interpreter was brought in.
And still, the investigators learned nothing.
And according to the local Karen population, they believe that the police
had the wrong suspects and that nobody in the Karen community would have committed such
heinous acts against one of their own people. Even more strange is the fact that people from the
two, the interceptor responsible for interviewing the Karen community, went home early and left many
people's testimonies off the official record simply because they were not interviewed. In an article,
it says, an RCMP officer who speaks Karen was brought in to help during the early stages
of the police investigation. It was expected he would be able to help build bridges and gain
information on the murder from some of the estimated 600 Karen people currently living in the city.
He returned home to British Columbia at the end of January. Quite a few Karen people were unhappy
with the officer cooperation with the police, especially when it came to dealing with the people
of interest that the police were investigating according to Wyatt. So no suspects were ever found
or listed, and the family of three never got their justice. So the cold case of the Tumah family
remains unsolved to this day. And the city of Regina has put out a $50,000 reward for any
who can provide any new evidence or information about the case.
But no one has come forward yet.
But it seems that this case remains cold because of poor handling by the Regina police,
along with the language barrier, and the unknown circumstances surrounding the family.
So hopefully someday the murder can be brought to justice, but until then, we won't know.
So that concludes the video.
I hope I was able to shed some light on some really interesting cases for you guys.
And if you have any suggestions for any other true crime deep dives or any other kinds of deep dives,
Let me know down in the comments below.
But yeah, stay safe out there.
And I'm going to go to bed.
Bye.
