Flames could be seen coming from an industrial area outside of Toronto, Ontario. 

As officers and firefighters approached the fire, they could make out a pile of fully engulfed tires. The fire had all the hallmarks of an intentional blaze. 

When the fire was extinguished an officer noticed a badly burned suitcase sitting atop the tires. 

Inside the case were the remains of a teenage girl and a mystery that would take decades to unravel. 

The girl would later be identified as 17-year-old Melonie Biddersingh. This case has been described as one of the worst child abuse cases in modern Canadian history.

Teenager Devon Marsman was reported missing in March 2022. The 16-year-old was last seen walking into an address in Spryfield, NS and he has not been seen since.

Devon Marsman is described by police as African Nova Scotian, about five feet tall and 100 pounds, with blue-green eyes and short dark hair. He was wearing a hoodie and jeans the last time he was seen.

After midnight on November 26th, 2019, Daniel Reoch, a 29-year-old Squamish First Nations man, appeared disorientated and erratic. He was last seen running into the night near Squamish BC. 

A delay in reporting Daniel missing put investigators, SAR, his family, and the community at a disadvantage in locating him. 

Reoch is described as an Indigenous male who is 175 centimeters (five feet, nine inches) and weighs 68 kilograms (150 pounds). He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information about Reoch is asked to contact Squamish RCMP at 604-892-6100, your local police, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Three months later, her remains were found in Hope BC and the case was upgraded from a missing persons case to a homicide case.

On the evening of November 26, 2016, an Abbotsford family lost contact with their daughter, 41-year-old Kimberlee Kasatkin, who was living in Lima, Peru.

Initially, authorities in Lima were led to believe that Kimberlee had left her on her own accord.

However, surveillance footage showed evidence of something much more sinister.

Her husband, Christopher Franz Bettocchi, was eventually arrested for her murder but he has thus far evaded prosecution.

It has been six years since her disappearance, and her family continues to fight for justice and answers.
