Ep. 053 | The Murder of Amber Tuccaro

Amber Tuccaro, a 20-year-old member of the Mikisew Cree First Nation, disappeared on August 18, 2010, after hitchhiking from a motel in Nisku, Alberta, toward Edmonton. During the ride, she called her incarcerated brother, and the call was recorded, capturing a conversation in which she questioned the driver's route, expressing concern that he was not taking her where she wanted to go. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) released a portion of this recording in 2012, hoping the public could identify the man's voice.

Shortly after, Amber's remains were discovered in a field in Leduc County, south of her last known location. The RCMP faced significant criticism for their handling of the case, including delays in initiating the investigation and mishandling of evidence, leading to a formal apology in 2019. Despite these efforts, the case remains unsolved, and Tuccaro's family continues to seek justice.
