Children go missing far more than the average Canadian might think, and finding them can require the help of the surrounding community, province, and beyond.
But, in some cases, the searches come to an end and there’s no resolution for families whose loved ones have disappeared.
It was 30 years ago this month that Mistie Murray of Goderich disappeared, and she has never been found.
While there have been reported sightings of a young woman that some believe was Mistie, police decided that she had been murdered. And that determination led to a trial that devastated a family, and cast suspicion upon her adoptive father, who was later acquitted of murder.
On this episode of the 519 Podcast, we take a look at the case of Mistie Murray, the legal drama that followed, and where things stand today, 30 years after she vanished.
