Hello listeners, Jordan here. I just want to let you know that you can listen to nighttime early and add free on Amazon music

and include it with Prime.

You are tuned to the nighttime podcast focused on the fringe of Canada.

Hello listeners, thank you for joining me again.

In this episode, our story is going to take us to London, Ontario in 1983.

At the time of this story, London was just over half the size it is today.

And with just over 300,000 people, the growing city was still maintaining that small town charm.

But many would say that London lost its innocence with the story we're about to hear tonight.

On October 13, 1983, then 17-year-old Donna Jean Ackock was babysitting a neighbor's child at the apartment building next door to where she lived.

This is something she did regularly.

However, in the early morning hours when the child's mother returned home, she asked Donna to run across the street to a convenient store before she left.

In this visit to the store, which was only a stone's throw away from her home, as the last time Donna was seen alive.

A gruesome discovery at a river bank in the days later would explain what happened to her, but not who was responsible.

And now, nearly 40 years later, Donna's murder has remained unsolved, but it's not due to lack of trying.

In fact, Donna's older sister Tammy has made it her life's mission to bring the person or people responsible for Donna's death to justice.

And she's going to tell us all about it here.

So tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Tammy Dennett to discuss the still unsolved murder of her little sister, Donna Jean Ackock.

So just to start, Tammy, maybe introduce yourself.

Tell me a little bit about you and who you are at this point.

My name is Tammy Dennett. I live in London, Ontario.

My sister was murdered back in 1983.

And I've been this old person looking for her killer.
