ND EP: 25 - The Killing of Melanie Carpenter: A Case Without a Trial

Northern Dark | True Canadian Crime by Northern Dark Podcast

Episode notes

In January 1995, 23-year-old Melanie Carpenter vanished while working alone at a tanning salon in Surrey, British Columbia. Later that day, surveillance footage captured a man using her debit card, leading police to identify a parolee as their suspect. Before an arrest could be made, he died by suicide, leaving the case without a trial or verdict. Melanie’s body was later found in Fraser Canyon, and her death was ruled a homicide. Nearly three decades later, her case still raises difficult questions about parole, supervision, and what justice looks like when answers are never tested in court.
