On August 17th, 2014, the body of fifteen year old Indigenous girl, Tina Fontaine, was recovered from the Red River in Winnipeg. She had been missing for eight days. On the day she was last seen alive, Tina encountered multiple people, including law enforcement officers, doctors, and her assigned worker from Child and Family Services, who could have put an end to the vicious cycle of trauma pervading Tina's life... but they didn't. Tina could have been saved that day, but the system failed her. The system failed her before she ever even walked this earth. One man was arrested in connection with Tina's death, but today, no one has been charged with the murder of this young girl.
The death of Tina Fontaine, and the failures of the system that was supposed to protect her and children like her, sparked an outpouring of grief, anger, and calls to action across Canada. The public demanded that the Canadian government launch an inquiry into the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Amber Tuccaro was a 20 year old Indigenous mother from Fort McMurray, Alberta. She disappeared in August 2010 after a spontaneous trip to Edmonton, Alberta with her son and a friend she had only recently met. In 2012, her partial remains were found in a farmer's field, not far from the motel where she had been staying just before her disappearance.
Authorities released a phone call made to Amber from her brother, who was incarcerated at the time, in which you can hear Amber and a strange man talking. In the call, Amber seems suspicious of where this man may be taking her, and she becomes gradually more distressed. The unknown man on the call seems as though he's attempting to confuse and trick Amber. After the phone call was released, three different women came forward and identified the same man in that phone call. However, almost eleven years after Amber's murder, no arrests have ever been made in connection with her case.

Brookelyn Farthing was 18 years old and had just graduated high school when she disappeared from a house in Berea, Kentucky. She was last seen leaving a party after being offered a ride home from an older acquaintance, who her ex-boyfriend had been friends with. Throughout the night, Brookelyn sent a string of alarming text messages to her ex-boyfriend, indicating that she was scared and needed someone to pick her up.
The following morning, the man Brookelyn had gotten a ride from the night before called the fire department to his house for a fire that had broken out in his living room. But Brookelyn was nowhere to be found. Her belongings had been left inside the house, and the man blamed her for the fire.
Today, Brookelyn remains missing and no one has ever been arrested or charged in connection with her suspicious disappearance.
