The Kowbel Family Tragedy

A quiet Chilliwack neighborhood. A forged cheque. A fire meant to erase everything. In this episode, we dive deep into the 1987 Kowbel family attack—one of the Fraser Valley’s most disturbing cases. You’ll hear how three young men executed a carefully planned ambush, how two victims survived against impossible odds, and how one daughter turned unimaginable trauma into faith and forgiveness.
