    The Highway of Tears Part 3 | Episode 012

    In this episode of Crime and Prayers, we conclude our in-depth series on Canada’s Highway of Tears, the harrowing stretch of British Columbia’s Highway 16 where countless Indigenous women and girls have vanished or been found murdered. While Project E-PANA officially recognizes 18 victims, this episode expands to honor not only the final names on that list but also others whose stories remain connected to this devastating pattern of violence. These stories highlight the systemic issues—poverty, racial injustice, and lack of safe transportation—that continue to endanger Indigenous women. We begin with the remaining E-PANA victims: Lana Derrick, a forestry student with a passion for giving back to her community; Aielah Saric-Auger, a creative 14-year-old with a bright future; Nicole Hoar, an adventurous 25-year-old who vanished while hitchhiking; and Tamara Chipman, a young mother and member of the Gitxsan Nation whose disappearance left her family fighting for justice. We then expand beyond E-PANA to bring attention to other women whose stories demand recognition. Among them are Jessica Patrick, a loving young mother from the Lake Babine Nation; Madison Scott, a vibrant 20-year-old who vanished during a camping trip; and Penny Laboucan, a 14-year-old athlete who disappeared while traveling. We also discuss Frances Brown, Gloria Moody, Maureen Mosie, Micheline Pare, Monica Jack, Immaculate Basil, and many others whose lives were cut short. Each name represents a story of love, resilience, and community. Families and advocates have worked tirelessly to keep these stories alive and push for justice. These women mattered then, and they matter now. Their legacies call us to action to address the systemic failures that perpetuate violence against Indigenous women and girls.

    The Highway of Tears Part 2 | 011

    Episode 11: The Highway of Tears - Part 2 In this episode of Crime and Prayers, we continue our journey along Canada’s Highway of Tears, a stretch of British Columbia’s Highway 16 known for the tragic disappearances and murders of Indigenous women and girls. While Project E-PANA officially recognizes 18 victims, Indigenous communities believe the true number is much higher. These cases reflect not only the individual losses of life but also the systemic issues—poverty, lack of safe transportation, and racial injustice—that have placed Indigenous women at greater risk. We share the lives and stories of nine women in this episode. Jean Mary Kovacs, a loving mother devoted to her family, vanished in 1974, leaving behind unanswered questions. Roswitha Fuchsbichler, a vibrant 13-year-old, was taken from her family by confessed killer Edward Dennis Isaac, who also admitted to killing Nina Marie Joseph, a kind and spirited woman with a promising future. Alberta Gail Williams, a generous 24-year-old, remains loved and missed by her family, who continue to fight for justice in her unsolved murder, as does the family of Cecilia Anne Nikal, a young woman whose disappearance in 1989 left a lasting void in her community. We also explore the tragic stories of Marnie Blanchard, a 24-year-old remembered for her warm, caring nature; Teresa Umphrey, a joyful soul whose life was senselessly stolen; Delphine Nikal, a 16-year-old with a bright future who was last seen hitchhiking; and Ramona Wilson, a vibrant and compassionate 16-year-old whose life was cut short by unimaginable violence. Each story reflects a life filled with love, potential, and connection, and each loss is a call to action for justice, awareness, and systemic change. These women were loved, and they matter.

Despite official recognition of 18 victims by Project E-PANA, Indigenous communities estimate that 40 or more lives have been lost along this desolate highway. We explore the systemic issues, including poverty, lack of transportation, and ongoing racial injustice, that have heightened these dangers for Indigenous women. We start by sharing the lives and stories of six victims—Tracey Clifton, Helen Claire Frost, Ginny Sampare, Monica Ignas, Coreen Thomas, and Mary Jane Hill. Each woman’s story reflects a life cut short and a family left grieving, united in their call for justice and remembrance.
