Sonya Cywink was found murdered in London, Ont. in 1994, but her killer was never found. The Anishinaabe woman's  sister Meggie has spent decades seeking answers, and growing increasingly frustrated with police. Now, Meggie's relentless quest for justice has uncovered new details, with the help of The Fifth Estate and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Connie Walker.

14-year-old Emily Pike went missing from her group home in Mesa, Arizona on January 27, 2025. Her remains were found on February 14, 2025, off Highway 60 North near Milepost 277 on Forest Service Road #355, just east of Globe, Arizona. Her case didn't garner much attention until the Gila County Sheriff's Office leaked an internal memo describing the horrific way she was found. Her case has since sparked outrage and demand for reform in cases of missing and murdered indigenous persons.   Emily was a Native American female from the San Carlos Apache Tribe. She had brown hair, brown eyes, was 4'10” and weighed 115lbs. She was last seen wearing a pink and gray shirt. Anyone with information is urged to call the Gila County Sheriff's Office Detective at 928-200-2352, the Bureau of Indian Affairs Special Agent at 505-917-7830 or the San Carlos Apache Tribal Police Detective at 928-475-1755.

She's one of Canada's most decorated journalists, having won a Pulitzer Prize, a Peabody and a Columbia-Dupont Prize for her podcast series, Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's. Yet Connie Walker had been reluctant to feature stories about her family in her journalism. Until she realized her family's survival in residential schools embodies the defining reality for virtually all Indigenous Peoples in Canada. She discusses this with Nahlah Ayed at the Samara Centre for Democracy's annual, In Defence of Democracy live event.

CN Rail says that the Teamsters showed no desire or urgency to reach a deal before rail workers were locked out Thursday, but the union says that's just not true. Guest host Connie Walker asks both sides what it will take to resolve this unprecedented shutdown.

Award-winning Canadian investigative journalist Connie Walker had been telling stories about missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls for years, and wondering why they received so little attention. All this changed with her true-crime podcasts. Missing & Murdered and Stolen have been wildly popular, the latter winning a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody Award. But despite the prizes and the millions of followers, in a climate where profitability is prioritised over important journalism Stolen is being axed by Spotify beyond the current third series.

The Pulitzer prize-winning podcaster is changing journalism as we know it

This we go back, waaaaaay back to our second episode ever as a national show. Unreserved turns 10 this year and we're celebrating how far we've come and getting excited about the journey ahead. This episode features 2014 throwbacks to award-winning Cree journalist Connie Walker, Kagagi superhero creator Jay Odjick, Winnipeg visual artist Casey Adams, science educator Wildfred Buck, and -- since we're talking about stars -- we decided to throw in one of our all-time favourite interviews with astronaut Nicole Mann (2023),

One night back in the late 1970s, an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police pulled over a suspected drunk driver. When he walked up to the vehicle, he came face-to-face with a ghost from his past: a residential school priest. That officer was journalist Connie Walker's late father. What happened that night on the side of the road compelled her to return home to Saskatchewan nearly 40 years later to try to investigate a secret in her own family. What she uncovers is a much bigger story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Award-winning podcaster Connie Walker joins Jesse in studio to talk about the problems and racism she faced at the CBC, including the pushback she received when trying to tell stories about Indigenous women. But that racism and pushback didn't deter her. During her time at the CBC, she created what is now known as CBC Indigenous. She also created the hit podcast series Missing & Murdered which, despite its success, was canceled after two seasons. She remains committed to telling those stories, making sure that they are more than just footnotes in Canadian history, with her work on the series Stolen, at Gimlet Media, for which she recently won a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody award.Host: Jesse Brown Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Further Listening: Missing & Murdered, Season 1, Season 2 — CBCStolen — SpotifySponsors: Elijah Craig, ArticleIf you value this podcast, support us!

Journalist Connie Walker has been reporting on Indigenous stories for most of her career. From missing and murdered women to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, she has covered on some of the biggest stories in Canada in the last few decades. But it wasn't until last year that she decided to look into her own family's past. The urge to dig into her deceased father's past appeared after her brother shared a story in the wake of the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in B.C. Connie talks about the importance of healing through sharing the truths, what she found out about her own family's secrets and her new podcast, Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's.This episode originally aired on May 24, 2022.Questions?

With Molly Hayes, national reporter with The Globe and Mail. Women and equity-seeking journalists investigate under-told stories. We need them to give voice to gender justice matters that otherwise go unheard. Think about the most stunning contemporary stories you've seen on gender and equality issues. Chances are that women and equity-seeking journalists were behind them.   Every year, the Canadian Women's Foundation presents The Landsberg Award in partnership with The Canadian Journalism Foundation to acknowledge and inspire feminist journalism. It's named after iconic journalist and author, Michele Landsberg. Journalist and activist Gloria Steinem said, “Those who make a revolution and those who write about it are usually two different people. Michele Landsberg is one of the few on earth who is trusted and effective at both.” Past winners of The Landsberg Award include such journalists as Connie Walker, Robyn Doolittle, Christina Frangou, and more. Today we're joined by Molly Hayes, who won the 2023 Landsberg Award alongside Tavia Grant and Elizabeth Renzetti for their series on intimate partner violence and femicide in Canada. She is a national reporter with The Globe and Mail. She joined the Globe in 2017 as the inaugural recipient of the Canadian Journalism Foundation's investigative journalism fellowship, and today reports on crime and social justice issues, including violence against women.  Relevant links: Gender Gap in Digital News Access  Episode ⁠Transcripts⁠  Please listen, subscribe, rate, and review this podcast and share it with others.

“We all understand just how easily history is forgotten. And this history is being actively destroyed.” –Podcast Host Connie Walker “Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's” is a 2023 duPont-winning series that uncovers the horrific abuse many young indigenous children–including the reporter's own family–faced at a Canadian residential school. Host and investigative journalist Connie Walker talks about the ethics of making public long buried stories of sexual abuse, highlighting indigenous voices and her own personal stake in this impactful podcast.

For a long time it's been non-Indigenous people telling Indigenous stories, and that means that stereotypes and a lack of humanity and empathy has been perpetuated in the media for years. Award-winning Indigenous podcaster and journalist, Connie Walker, joins the Matriarch Movement podcast to discuss her approach to trauma-informed storytelling, and what it was like to uncover the truth behind her family's history in Canada's residential school system. We unpack the power in giving Indigenous people the agency and the opportunity to tell their own stories, why we're so inspired by the younger generation, and what a meaningful future could look like for native journalists. Matriarch Movement is created and hosted by Shayla Oulette Stonechild and produced by Kattie Laur. Theme music is "Sisters" by Wolf Saga, Chippewa Travellers and David R. Maracle.

Cree journalist Connie Walker won both a Pulitzer Prize and a Peabody Award for her podcast Stolen: Surviving St Michael's this week. It's a story of the residential school her father was forced to attend. She tells us about the importance of telling Indigenous stories.

From 1819 and 1969, the U.S. removed thousands of Native children from their homes and tried to strip them of their culture. What would a reparations program for this history look like? The U.S. Department of the Interior has begun finally wrestling with the history of the Indian boarding school program. In 2021, the department's head, Secretary Deb Haaland, launched the  Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative to not only document the history, but to understand its ongoing impact.  Last year, the Bureau of Indian Affairs published the first volume of their findings from the initiative, which found that the U.S. operated or supported 408 boarding schools across 37 states and highlighted the dire conditions many children faced in these schools. The report also called for a reorientation of federal policy to support tribal languages and culture, to counteract the harm caused by the federal Indian boarding school system.? Allison Herrera, the Indigenous affairs reporter at KOSU, has been covering Secretary Haaland's listening sessions and has spoken with many of the survivors. She joins Kai Wright to share these emotional testimonies and hear from Native listeners.   If you are a survivor or related to someone who went through the federal Indian boarding school program, you can find resources for healing and self care through the National Native American Boarding Healing Coalition.  If you want to hear from more survivors about their experiences you can listen to: Stolen: Surviving Saint Michaels Investigative journalist Connie Walker unearths Canada's residential school program and what the path to healing looked like for survivors, including her father. She also examines the flaws in the way the Canadian government has attempted to reconcile with its role in the program through reparations. IllumiNative: American Genocide: Series hosts Crystal Echo Hawk (Pawnee) and Lashay Wesley (Choctaw) hit the ground in Pine Ridge, South Dakota to chronicle the actively-developing situation for themselves, covering every twist and turn in this true crime story about the compounding intergenerational pain of Native American boarding schools and whether it's possible for a community, Native peoples, and the United States to achieve truth, healing, and reconciliation. In Trust: “In Trust” By Rachel Adams-Heard is the story of the Osage Nation and a system that moved wealth from Native hands to White ones. One that three brothers learned to operate, laying the foundation for a modern American dynasty of land and influence that continues to this day. They Called it Prairie Light  Established in 1884 and operative for nearly a century, the Chilocco Indian School in Oklahoma was one of a series of off-reservation boarding schools intended to assimilate American Indian children into mainstream American life. Critics have characterized the schools as destroyers of Indian communities and cultures, but the reality that K. Tsianina Lomawaima discloses was much more complex. “Notes from America” airs live on Sunday evenings at 6pm ET. The podcast episodes are lightly edited from our live broadcasts.

Light pollution has been impacting our view of the heavens for many years. Globe at Night is a citizen science campaign that invites people around the world to measure their night sky brightness and contribute data to the Globe at Night database. A recent paper based on Globe at Night data shows the night sky is brightening more than previously thought based on satellite measurements. In this podcast, Connie Walker and Christoper Kyba discuss this new research.    Bios:  Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Christopher Kyba is a physicist who has been studying light in the outdoor environment since 2009. He works with data from many different sources, ranging from satellite observations and aerial photos to all sky imagery and observations with the human eye. He has led the development of a number of citizen science projects and tools, including Radiance Light Trends, the Loss of the Night app, My Sky at Night, and most recently the Nachtlichter (Night Lights) app. Dr. Connie Walker is an astronomer at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona USA. She has been working to abate light pollution in different ways regionally, nationally and internationally over the last 20 years. She has been involved with revising local lighting laws to holding conferences nationally and internationally to being on the International Dark-Sky Association Board of Directors (twice) to holding leadership positions at the International Astronomical Union (and helping to form a resolution on people's right to starlight). The launching point was helping to create the international citizen-science program, Globe at Night, that asks citizen scientists to rate their night sky brightness which compares star charts with different numbers of stars to what they see in the night sky.    Links:  NOIRLab Press Release: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2302/ Announcement by the International Dark-Sky Association: https://www.darksky.org/new-study-highlights-the-need-for-urgent-action-to-reverse-runaway-light-pollution/  Article from Science: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adf4952 Full paper from Science: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq7781   NOIRLab social media channels can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/NOIRLabAstro https://twitter.com/NOIRLabAstro https://www.instagram.com/noirlabastro/ https://www.youtube.com/noirlabastro   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Jermain Charlo was a 23-year-old Indigenous mother of two boys who disappeared from Missoula, Montana in June 2018. There is little information known to the public about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance. What we do know is that the last person to see Jermain on the night she disappeared was her ex-boyfriend and the father of her two sons. He had a history of abusing Jermain and was previously convicted for domestic violence against her. Jermain was an enrolled member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Flathead Nation. Her disappearance has become well-known within the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement.

What would the media look like if we told our own stories without a colonial lens? Auntie Up! talks with Connie Walker, host of the podcast Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's. 

Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's is one of the most powerful podcasts you'll ever hear. Journalist Connie Walker takes us into the very personal process of putting it all together. But first... 14:28 | How much can you tell about a person based on the canine company they keep? Emmy Award-winning talk host and "Dog Dad" Charles Adler chimes in. A Rogers cellular customer himself, Chuck talks about the service outage impacting millions of Canadians, along with air travel woes across the country, and Patrick Brown's disqualification from the CPC leadership race. 42:38 | It all started when she heard a story about her Dad, an RCMP officer and residential school survivor, pulling over the priest that abused him years earlier. Journalist Connie Walker was troubled by what happened during that traffic stop, and needed to know more. The result is the eight-episode podcast "Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's". It's impossible to not be impacted by the project, including Connie's insights just a couple weeks after the final episode was released on Spotify. Do not miss this interview.

In this week's episode, Bob interviews award-winning investigative journalist and host of the podcasts “Missing and Murdered” and “Stolen,” Connie Walker. Bob and Connie chat about her work at the CBC, the differences between podcasting and TV journalism, and how Connie discovered her passion for covering indigenous cases. They also discuss Season 2 of “Stolen: Surviving St. Micheal's,” which centers around Connie's father's experience as an indigenous child in a residential school and the abuse he, and many other children, suffered there.

Trigger warning: This episode contains mentions of sexual and physical abuse. For nearly the past year, Canadian journalist Connie Walker has been working on an investigation into her father's experience at St. Michael's Indian Residential School in Canada. The story is told as part of “Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's,” a series available exclusively on Spotify. Her investigation began when she heard a story about her late father who was a police officer in the 70s. He pulled over a car that was swerving, and when he got to the window, he recognized the driver as a priest who he believed had abused him at residential school. He pulled the priest out of the car and beat him up on the side of the road. Over the years, thousands of students have come forward about their experiences at residential schools. Walker joins WITHpod to discuss the process of telling this deeply personal story of intergenerational trauma, her motivation for bringing issues affecting indigenous people to light and how this dark part of Canada's past hasn't been completely reconciled. The Canadian government has apologized and set aside millions in reparations, along with a new child education and welfare system in response to abuse.

On a routine traffic stop in Saskatchewan, a Mountie recognized the driver as the priest who abused him as a child. The officer beat him up, but the priest never reported the attack and the Mountie kept the incident to himself for decades.That officer was the late father of reporter Connie Walker. She wanted to know more about her Cree family's experiences with Canadian residential schools. St. Michael's school not only tried to expunge the children's indigenous culture, but also subjected them to physical and sexual abuse.From Gimlet Media and exclusively on Spotify, “Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's” is Connie Walker's most personal investigation yet. In a study on intergenerational trauma, Connie gives voice to many of the victims of the systemic abuse while she seeks out the priest who abused her father.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "STOLEN: SURVIVING ST.

But it wasn't until last year that she decided to look into her own family's past. The urge to dig into her deceased father's past appeared after her brother shared a story in the wake of the discovery of 215 unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in B.C. Connie talks about the importance of healing through sharing the truths, what she found out about her own family's secrets and her new podcast, Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's.

Journalist Connie Walker's new podcast, Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's, tells the story of what her father and his siblings experienced at St. Michael's Indian Residential School in Duck Lake, Sask. She tells us what she learned about herself while working on the podcast.

From the 1870s into the 1990s, the Canadian government and Catholic churches ran a vast network of boarding schools called "Indian residential schools," where Indigenous children were taken and forced to assimilate into white Canadian culture. Countless children suffered sexual, physical and psychological abuse in these institutions, and survivors and their families are wrestling with the repercussions to this day. Connie Walker, the host of the podcast Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's, speaks with us about her own family's experience with a residential school, which she uncovered while reporting the new second season of the show, and what the U.S. can learn from Canada's attempted reckoning with this past.   Cover for the podcast "Stolen," from Gimlet Media/Spotify (Gimlet Media/Spotify)

One night back in the late 1970s, an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police pulled over a suspected drunk driver. When he walked up to the vehicle, he came face-to-face with a ghost from his past: a residential school priest. That officer was journalist Connie Walker's late father. What happened that night on the side of the road compelled her to return home to Saskatchewan nearly 40 years later to try to investigate a secret in her own family. What she uncovers is a much bigger story. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Last May, investigative journalist Connie Walker came upon a story about her late father she'd never heard before. One night back in the late 1970s while he was working as an officer in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, he pulled over a suspected drunk driver. He walked up to the vehicle and came face-to-face with a ghost from his past—a residential school priest. What happened on the road that night set in motion an investigation that would send Connie deep into her own past, trying to uncover the secrets of her family and the legacy of trauma passed down through the generations. In Stolen: Surviving St. Michael's, Connie unearths how her family's story fits into one of Canada's darkest chapters: the residential school system. Learn more about your ad choices.

Growing up, Justine's father always told her unbelievable stories about his life: that he was a big winner on Jeopardy; an outlaw who robbed banks armed only with flowers. But now, as an adult, Justine has started to question—are her father's stories so unbelievable because none of them are true?
