The ‘Highway of Tears‘ is a 800 km section of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, that has been witness to the unsolved deaths or disappearances of at least 18 women since 1969… CBS investigative crime series ‘48 Hours‘ takes a closer look at the mystery surrounding the disappearances…

“Official sources list the number of victims at 18, but aboriginal leaders estimate the number could be as high as 43. By October 2007, Project E-Pana, an investigation by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) examining the similarities among these murders and disappearances, determined that 18 of them show enough similarities to be linked. These are the unsolved murders and missing-persons files that are collectively called “The Highway of Tears” case. Bobby Jack Fowler has been identified as the murderer in one case, and is a prime suspect in two others. However, investigators do not think a single killer is responsible for all the murders.” Wikipedia
