Return to the Highway of Tears

Before the world knew the phrase Highway of Tears, families in northern British Columbia were already losing daughters, sisters, and mothers — and fighting to be heard.In this episode, we revisit the earliest known cases connected to Highway 16: Gloria Moody (1969), Helen Claire Frost (1970), and Tracey Clifton (1970s). Their stories reveal the roots of a crisis decades in the making.This episode explores investigative gaps, transportation inequality, and missing documentation — and honors the women whose stories shaped the foundation of this crisis.
