Amber Tuccaro: In Her Defence

Amber Tuccaro was 20 years old when she left her infant son with a friend at a motel on the outskirts of Edmonton, and got into a vehicle with an unknown man. She was never seen alive again. But Amber left an important clue: A chilling recording of what appear to be the final moments of her life — and the voice of the man who may be her killer.

In this special episode, Kristi Lee is in studio with Jana G. Pruden, an award-winning investigative journalist with the Globe and Mail who spent seven months investigating Amber’s case for season two of her hit narrative podcast In Her Defence.

In Her Defence: 50th Street explores the flawed police investigation into Amber’s disappearance and death, and asks serious questions about her unsolved murder. Is a serial killer still out there?
