S02E09: THE CASES OF LEONA BRULE & LEAH ANDERSON (#MMIWG, PART III)
There are hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada, and these are just some of their stories.
In part three of our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls mini-series, we tell the stories of two different cases- Leona Brule and Leah Anderson.
Leona Brule, an 18-year-old woman from the Northwest Territories went missing in 1989 and in an unsolved case with very little information known, possibilies are endless. Could she have been met with foul play on route to Edmonton, Alberta to visit her boyfriend? Could she have been murdered before leaving the Northwest Territories? Is she still alive and living on the streets of Edmonton? Virtually nothing is known about what happened after contact with her family ceased and the only possible lead in this cold case comes in the form of a mysterious letter delivered to Leona's aunt after the disappearance. Is this a red herring or could it be a vital clue about what happened to Leona?
Leah Anderson was a 15-year-old girl who went missing on a cold January night in 2013 and turned up dead only days later in the small Northern community of God's Lake Narrows, Manitoba. Rumors about what could have happened ran rampant throughout the small town after it was discovered that the only roads into the community were closed the weekend of the murder- is someone in God's Lake Narrows responsible for Leah's murder?
