Summary

In the late 1970s, there were a series of mysterious deaths. First, two jr. high girls were found in an underpass west of Calgary. Seven months later, another young woman was found in a ditch, beaten and strangled to death. Just months after that, a fourth woman was found strangled to death. Follow along as Global News senior crime reporter Nancy Hixt takes you through the haunting details of each case and explains why each investigation went cold for nearly half a century.
