Case #057 - Mekayla Bali

Welcome to Episode Fifty-Seven of Do You Dare?   This month we are dedicated every episode to highlighting unsolved cases of missing people and this week we are covering a case that hit its 10th anniversary this April, still with no answers.   (Trigger warnings: mentions of online grooming, human trafficking and self harm and suicide.)   In this episode Em takes us to Canada to cover the case of Mekayla Bali, a sixteen year old girl who went missing after walking away from her school back in 2016 in her hometown of Yorkton.   Following along as we take a look at the odd timeline of Mekayla’s movements that morning, most of which were at first captured on CCTV or by Eyewitnesses, before vanishing completely a little before 2pm, leaving behind countless questions as to whether she left of her own free will or if someone may have lured her into the path of something far more sinister…..   If you have any information regarding Mekayla’s Case please contact:   Saskatchewan RCMP: Call 1-844-880-6518 (Toll-free in Canada), or email: [email protected] or contact the RCMP Historical Case Unit directly at 1-833-502-6861 Crime Stoppers (Anonymous): Call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit information online through Crime Stoppers.
