Tatyanna Harrison: A Mother’s Fight for Truth | Vancouver News

The tragic death of 20-year-old Indigenous woman Tatyanna Harrison, found on a Richmond boat in May 2022, is now under coroner’s inquest — and her mother’s harrowing testimony reveals a system that failed her. Natasha Harrison says police mishandled the case, passing the missing persons file between departments while she alone searched for her daughter in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for three months. A misleading police sketch, depicting someone far older and taller, further delayed identification. Advocates link this case to the systemic failures seen in the Robert Pickton tragedy, spotlighting ongoing gaps in how Indigenous women’s disappearances and deaths are investigated. The inquest, though not for assigning blame, seeks to uncover truths and push for reforms to prevent future tragedies.
