Part 3 of our Highway of Tears series examines some of the most infamous missing and murdered cases along Highways 16, 5, and 97 in British Columbia, from the 1990s to the present day.

We explore the disappearances of Delphine Nikal, Ramona Wilson, Roxanne Thiara, Alisha Germaine, Lana Derrick, Nicole Hoar, and Aielah Saric-Auger, tracing patterns of neglect, systemic racism, and missed investigative opportunities.

Join Arlene and Leah as they confront how geography, isolation, and indifference created a killing ground, and why justice remains elusive decades later.
