Murder in Pacific Spirit Park

On a bright spring afternoon in 2009, 53-year-old Wendy Ladner-Beaudry went for a run in Pacific Spirit Park — a route she’d taken for decades — and never came home. What happened in those silent minutes beneath the trees remains one of Vancouver’s most haunting unsolved murders.
