Highway 16 in northern British Columbia — a 724‑km (450‑mile) stretch of remote road — has been the site of dozens of disappearances over the past five decades. In this episode, we share the stories of:

• Tamara Chipman (2005) — Gitxsan Nation, last seen near Prince Rupert

Madison Scott (2011) — vanished from a campsite near Vanderhoof

Immaculate “Mackie” Basil (2013) — Dakelh/Carrier woman missing near Kuz Che Reserve, Fort St. James

Through their stories, we explore how transportation gaps, geography, policing, and systemic racism intersect along the Highway of Tears — and why so many families are still waiting for answers.
