The Wells Gray Park Murders

The Wells Gray Park Murders

In August 1982, three generations of a family set out for a two week camping trip in the wilds of British Columbia.


When the entire family failed to return home, it triggered the most expensive and publicized manhunt in Canadian history — and uncovered a horrific truth that shocked the nation.


Additional content warning: this episode includes the murder and sexual assault of a child. Minimal graphic details will be given. Please take care when listening.
