The Highway of Tears Part 3 | Episode 012

In this episode of Crime and Prayers, we conclude our in-depth series on Canada’s Highway of Tears, the harrowing stretch of British Columbia’s Highway 16 where countless Indigenous women and girls have vanished or been found murdered. While Project E-PANA officially recognizes 18 victims, this episode expands to honor not only the final names on that list but also others whose stories remain connected to this devastating pattern of violence. These stories highlight the systemic issues—poverty, racial injustice, and lack of safe transportation—that continue to endanger Indigenous women.

We begin with the remaining E-PANA victims: Lana Derrick, a forestry student with a passion for giving back to her community; Aielah Saric-Auger, a creative 14-year-old with a bright future; Nicole Hoar, an adventurous 25-year-old who vanished while hitchhiking; and Tamara Chipman, a young mother and member of the Gitxsan Nation whose disappearance left her family fighting for justice.

We then expand beyond E-PANA to bring attention to other women whose stories demand recognition. Among them are Jessica Patrick, a loving young mother from the Lake Babine Nation; Madison Scott, a vibrant 20-year-old who vanished during a camping trip; and Penny Laboucan, a 14-year-old athlete who disappeared while traveling. We also discuss Frances Brown, Gloria Moody, Maureen Mosie, Micheline Pare, Monica Jack, Immaculate Basil, and many others whose lives were cut short.

Each name represents a story of love, resilience, and community. Families and advocates have worked tirelessly to keep these stories alive and push for justice. These women mattered then, and they matter now. Their legacies call us to action to address the systemic failures that perpetuate violence against Indigenous women and girls.
