They include 17-year-old Fonessa Bruyere who asked her mother, “What would you do if I died?” shortly before her body was discovered in a field north of Winnipeg in 2007.

They include 15-year-old Tina Fontaine who is remembered by her family as “the perfect little girl.” Her body was found, wrapped in a bag, in Winnipeg’s Red River in 2014.
