Welcome back to a planned two-part series covering the murder of Tess Ritchie.

In the last episode we were joined by Karen Lieberman, a Toronto-based journalist with global news.

During our time with Karen, she shared her experiences reporting on both Tessa's senseless murder

and the trial against her killer,

Kalin Schlader. But tonight we're going to get even closer to this heartbreaking

story. As we heard Karen describe, this story heavily features a band of

Ritchie women who've been steadfast in their support of Tess

throughout every tragic twist in turn. Tess, the youngest of five sisters, had each one of them

rallying around her and her mother Christine as they were pulled through every family's

worst nightmare.

Starting with the search for Tess, into the search for her killer,

and throughout the entire trial,

the Ritchie Women has stood shoulder to shoulder,

wearing Tessus beads, and demanding justice.

Tonight, in this episode of nighttime, we're going to be given an inside look at this tragedy

by someone who's living through it. Our guest is

Tess's eldest sister Verena Ritchie and our topic, the murder of her sister

Tessie.
