S4 E35 Gloria Moody: The Highway of Tears

Gloria Levina Moody, who everybody knew as Lee, had been stripped, beaten, sexually assaulted, and left to bleed to death on a cattle trail about a kilometre off the Chilcotin Highway near Williams Lake, BC. She was the 26-year-old mother of two from Bella Coola on a weekend away with her family. Lee’s 1969 murder is the oldest of 18 cases of missing and murdered women and girls along Highways 5, 16 and 97, currently with the RCMP’s E-PANA unit. Episode includes interviews with Lee’s daughter Vanessa, Steve Pranzl, formerly with E-PANA, and Geraldine Trimble, social development director with the Native Women’s Association of Canada.

This episode is based on a story from Cold Case BC: the stories behind the province's most sensational murders and missing persons cases.
