Summary

Episode 126 The Calgary Murders Part 1 of 2

At long last, Canadian listeners who have been requesting a case get their wish! There was a horrific series of murders of girls and young women in the Calgary area in the 1970s and early 1980s. In particular, teenagers Patsy McQueen and Eva Dvorak, and young women Barbara MacLean and Melissa Rehorek stood out. There was no overt evidence of rape. Some of the deaths weren’t even certain to be homicides. No one was sure which cases, if any, were linked. All the cases fell in RCMP jurisdiction, and thousands of hours were spent investigating them. Task forces were formed and folded, wagons were circled… it was all for naught. Until a genealogy team and some dedicated CPS detectives partnered up … and what they uncovered was shocking. In this case, Jess gets unprecedented cooperation from the RCMP about the cold case investigations and the yearlong inquiry into the unmasked killer.
