Summary

19-year-old Serena “Serenity” McKay is reported missing on Sunday, April 23rd, 2017 in the Sagkeeng Anicinabe First Nations reserve in Manitoba, CA. After just two hours of searching, a community elder comes across her badly beaten and mutilated body. Police are slow to release details of the investigation - but the existence of a horrific video clip of the teen’s murder suddenly appears on Facebook, and within hours - goes viral. Soon, an entire community knows exactly who killed Serena McKay - long before the arrests have even been announced.
