Hi, park enthusiasts. I'm your host, D'Lyadiambra. And the case I'm going to tell you about today has been

0:06.2

unsolved for more than 70 years. It's one of British Columbia's most notorious cold cases,

0:12.9

with events and updates stretching between 1953 and 2022. For decades, the press referred to this

0:20.0

crime as the Babes in the Woods case, a nickname that

including centuries-old western red cedars, big leaf maples, and Douglas firs, which have stood

1:18.2

as tall as 164 feet. Woods is the dominant terrain throughout the park with fewer open green

1:24.3

spaces than what you'd see in, say, New York Central Park, for example.

Some of the best viewpoints to take insights at the park can be found north of an area known as Beaver Lake.

And it was in this area that the discovery of two children's remains became one of the most

notorious crimes in British Columbia that still needs closure.
