Eighteen-year-old Andrea King graduated with honours from New Westminster Secondary in June 1991. She took a job with the Greyhound Bus Company to save money for a trip across Canada. Her plan was to check out universities while she worked her way home to British Columbia. On January 1, 1992, Andrea took an Air Canada flight to Halifax. She phoned her family from the airport and told them she’d call the next day with the address of the Halifax hostel where she was staying. And then Andrea vanished.

S5 E51 Boys in the Woods
Ramsey Rioux and Kenneth Lutz were two Indigenous boys living in Burnaby, BC . When the 13-year-olds ran away in December 1989, RCMP put little effort into looking for them. It wasn't until a skull was identified in Stanley Park almost a decade later that police discovered that they weren't missing. The boys were murdered.
If you have any information about these murders, please contact the Vancouver Police Department at 604-717-2500 or crime stoppers 1-800-222-8477.

S5 E50 Girl in the Field
The body of 15-year-old Myfanwy Sanders was found on November 9, 1945 in a field near her home on Vancouver Island. She had been missing for 23 days. Apart from a couple of newspaper articles and a coroner's inquest, this Saanich teen’s case was never really looked into at all. And, while Saanich police have four unsolved murders on their books, Myfanwy, who was known as Dot by her family and friends, is not one of them.
This episode is based on a chapter from my book Cold Case BC: The Stories Behind the Province's Most Intriguing Murder and Missing Person Cases. For more information, please visit my website: evelazarus.com or join us on the Facebook group page Cold Case Canada.

S5 E49 Murder at Swan Lake
In January 1943, fifteen-year-old Molly Justice took the 5:50 pm bus from her job in Victoria, BC and got off at Swan Lake near her Saanich home. Her body was found a few hours later lying face down in the snow. She had been stabbed more than 20 times and hit on the head with a rock. What followed was one of the most seriously botched police investigations of last century.
