Podcasts about Highway of Tears

Highway 16 in northern British Columbia looks, at first glance, like any other remote road: mountains, forests, rivers, small towns, and long stretches of empty pavement. But for decades, this corridor became known by a much darker name — the Highway of Tears.This episode of Terrifying & True investigates the real history behind one of Canada's most devastating true crime cases: the disappearances and murders of women and girls along Highway 16 and nearby routes, many of them Indigenous. Officially, the RCMP's Project E-PANA includes eighteen cases, but families, advocates, and Indigenous organizations have long argued that the true number may be higher.We examine the victims, the isolated geography, the lack of safe transportation, the failures of policing and media attention, and the systemic conditions that allowed danger to persist for decades. This is not a story about one cursed road or one simple explanation. It is a story about grief, survival, ignored warnings, and families who refused to let their loved ones disappear from memory.The Highway of Tears remains one of the most haunting examples of how true crime can expose something larger than a single mystery: a pattern of violence, silence, and systemic failure that continues to demand answers.We're telling that story tonight.

Send us Fan MailToday on the Wheel of Crime Podcast, Jenn and Em spin into one of Canada's most chilling cases. What started as a routine traffic stop on a dark, snowy backroad quickly unraveled into something far more sinister. Cody Legebokoff was a small-town athlete with a normal life, but behind the scenes, a series of brutal murders had already begun. From a shocking arrest to the disturbing evidence that followed, this case exposes how quickly everything can change… and how someone no one suspected became one of Canada's youngest serial killers. Support the show

Over the past few decades, at least 40 women and girls—mostly Indigenous—have vanished or been found dead along this remote, unforgiving route, which winds through vast, isolated wilderness. This highway has become a chilling emblem of systemic neglect, where victims' cries for justice have been ignored, their lives reduced to little more than statistics. Many of these women and girls, often hitchhiking, traveling alone, or living in vulnerable circumstances, were treated as expendable in a place where predatory killers lurk undetected. Despite years of investigations, the full extent of the violence remains buried, and the Highway of Tears stands as a brutal reminder of how easily society discards those it deems unworthy, their stories lost to a road that refuses to forget.

Indigenous women in Canada have always been vulnerable, but there’s a stretch of remote road that’s such a hotspot for disappearances, assaults, and murders of women that it’s been called the Highway of Tears.

PART THREE. In Canada there is a stretch of highway between the cities of Prince Rupert and Prince George that covers 725 km (or 450 miles). For over 50 years, this dark, isolated road has swallowed up women and girls in the night from 1969 to present. Because of the despair that has happened along this corridor, it is now known as the Highway of Tears. In this three-part series, we will be exploring this area and the devastating stories found alongside it. If you have any information for any of these cases, please call the E-PANA Tip Line at 1.877.543.4822.Content Warning: Sexual assault Tea of the Day: Rhea.co Strengthen Me Tea Theme Music by Brad FrankTo get involved:https://highwayoftears.org/pillars-hope-strength/https://www.csfs.org/payments/donationshttps://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/Sources:Sabo, Don, “Highway of Tears,” The Canadian Encyclopedia, June 6th, 2016, Updated January 18th, 2019 https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/highway-of-tearsDirected by Matthew Smiley, “Highway Of Tears: The Unsolved Serial Murders Of Aboriginal Women.” Produced by Carly Pope, Narrated by Nathan Fillion, Released March 6th, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3wWjcIc_1MDirected by Tim Wolochatiuk, “We Were Children.” Produced by Kyle Irving, Starring Rene Batson, Taya Ayotte Bourns, Alice Dano, Release by Eagle Vision Inc. 2013. https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07FQ3GZKX/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_rMcDiarmid, Jessica, “Highway of Tears: A True Story of Racism, Indifference, and the Pursuit of Justice for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.” Narrated By Emily Nixon, Simon and Schuster, November 12th, 2019“The Highway of Tears: The Road Where Women Disappear” by Bipin Dimri October 4, 2022 https://www.historicmysteries.com/highway-of-tears/“Highway of Tears,” 48 Hours, Season 25, Episode 7 with Peter Van Sant, November 17th, 2012Bains, Camille, “Relatives of dead, missing women meet to seek an end to violence.” The Vancouver Sun, 30 Mar 2006, Thu ·Page 27 https://www.newspapers.com/image/496873937/Speirs, Margaret, “Tears walk numbers climb.” Terrace Standard, 29 Mar 2006, Wed ·Page 1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/330198530/Million, Nicole, “Moricetown woman walking to end Highway of Tears.” The Interior News (Smither, British Columbia, March 1st, 2006, Page A5 https://www.newspapers.com/image/899209888/Dolha, Lloyd, “Highway of Tears Symposium Sparked by Teen Murder.” First Nations Drum, January 3rd, 2006 http://www.firstnationsdrum.com/2006/01/highway-of-tears-symposium-sparked-by-teen-murder/Hamilton, Todd, “Taking back highway of tears.” The Interior News, 21 Sep 2005, Wed ·Page 2https://www.newspapers.com/image/508753084/Carrigg, David, “Mother of slain teen Aeilah struggling to pay for funeral.” The Province 22 Feb 2006, Wed ·Page 16 https://www.newspapers.com/image/505252524/Zielinski, Susan, “City woman missing.” Red Deer Advocate, 05 Jul 2002, Fri ·Page 1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/558928173/Hall, Neal, “Highway of Tears website launched.” The Vancouver Sun 26 Nov 2005, Sat ·Page 4 https://www.newspapers.com/image/497415120/Slade, Daryl, “Olympic skater laces up to find friend.”Calgary Herald 09 Jul 2002, Tue ·Page 23 https://www.newspapers.com/image/486299668/Hunter, Stuart, “‘She's been gone too long.'” The Province, 24 Nov 2005, Thu ·Page 3 https://www.newspapers.com/image/505694271/The Province -

Folge 185: Wir nehmen wir euch mit nach Kanada auf den Highway 16. Diese Straße führt durch den Westen des Landes, mitten durch die Wildnis und an Tannenwäldern und kleinen Reservaten vorbei. Doch die Ruhe trügt. An der Straße stehen überall Schilder: "Mörder auf freiem Fuß". Seit den späten 60er Jahren verschwinden auf dem etwa 725 Kilometer langen Abschnitt zwischen Prince George und Prince Rupert Frauen. Mindestens 18 von ihnen kamen nicht mehr nach Hause. Indigene Organisationen aus British Columbia gehen davon aus, dass zwischen 40 und 50 Frauen entführt oder getötet wurden. Einige sprechen sogar von 98 Fällen. Wegen all der Tränen, die die Angehörigen um ihre verlorenen Freundinnen, Töchter oder Mütter vergießen, nennt man die Autobahn auch „Highway of Tears“ – „Straße der Tränen“. Wer steckt hinter den Taten? Einer, zwei oder vielleicht sogar drei Serienmörder? Linn und Leo betrachten verschiedene Fälle des Highway of Tears. Außerdem schauen sie sich auch die Verbrechen an, die hier an der indigenen Bevölkerung begangen wurden, und sprechen mit dem Reporter Thilo Mischke über seine eigenen Erfahrungen am Highway of Tears und darüber, dass die indigene Bevölkerung hier bis heute keine Gerechtigkeit erhält.

Gloria Levina Moody, who everybody knew as Lee, had been stripped, beaten, sexually assaulted, and left to bleed to death on a cattle trail about a kilometre off the Chilcotin Highway near Williams Lake, BC. She was the 26-year-old mother of two from Bella Coola on a weekend away with her family. Lee's 1969 murder is the oldest of 18 cases of missing and murdered women and girls along Highways 5, 16 and 97, currently with the RCMP's E-PANA unit.

In 2005, the disappearance of 22-year-old Tamara Chipman changed everything. Her case brought enough attention to the Highway of Tears that the Canadian government was forced to act. They launched a task force to reexamine cases, hoping to find links between crimes. But despite the momentum, their investigations have stalled out — leaving residents to live under the specter of the next murder. This episode originally aired on Serial Killers.

Every once in a while, authorities would catch an extraordinary break: In 1985, a tip led to a man responsible for three murders. Then in 2010, a routine traffic stop led to a man responsible for four murders. Even still, there were so many more women unaccounted for. And more cases to come.
