<p>It was the early hours of August 3rd, 2001, in Edmonton, Alberta, when fire crews responded to a dumpster blaze behind a central apartment building. Once the flames were out, they made a horrifying discovery — the burned remains of a young woman.</p><br><p>For nearly two weeks, investigators worked to find out who she was. They canvassed hundreds of apartments and narrowed their search to a short list of missing women. Dental records would confirm the victim was 18-year-old Patricia Calahasen.</p><br><p>What police uncovered next was a story of trust betrayed, a violent assault, and a desperate attempt to destroy the evidence. The person responsible was just 17 years old. But for Patricia’s family, the fight for justice has lasted decades.</p><br><p>--</p><p>This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.</p><p><strong>Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts</strong> - <a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://...
