Susan Klassen

36-year-old Susan Klassen had only lived in Whitehorse for a few years, but she made a considerable impact on the local community as a renowned modern storyteller with the Yukon International Storytelling Festival. Susan’s death—and the public outrage that followed—was named the #1 story in the Yukon for 1997.


“Throughout her life, she deeply touched the lives and hearts of many. Along with her love of nature, one of Susan’s greatest joys was to share her talent of storytelling.” - Obituary


This episode is about an important case that became a watershed moment for the local community in Whitehorse, Yukon, and across the country. We’ve pieced it together from court documents and the news archives, most notably the reporting of Caroline Murray and Yvette Brend for the Whitehorse Daily Star. Our sincere condolences to Susan Klassen’s loved ones and anyone else affected by this crime.


Canadian True Crime has donated to Kaushee’s Place; a transition home for women and gender diverse people experiencing violence in the Yukon.
