The numbers of missing indigenous women is in the quadruple digits. They just don't get reports. We filed a report just to be told she was a run away. I myself am indigenous and trust me when I say this. Thousands of us are missing and murdered. Just from a singular highway. Our sisters deserve justice. Our aunties deserve peace.

[@supernova11711]

It’s just such a perfect storm for the worst nightmares. That many native communities and so many people that live in them without vehicles. How else is one to go places other than walking or hitchhiking. Then the fact that it’s so isolated makes it a magnet for evil people like this because it presents an opportunity to easily fulfill their “fantasies”. Also, we’re racist towards natives here in Canada. Straight up, let’s be honest. The police themselves used to drive them to deserted highways in the middle of winter and leave them to die! Like they aren’t people at all! It’s atrocious and such a disgrace to our country. Most of us just don’t know what to do to change it and honestly don’t understand how bad it is if we don’t live it. So nothing changes. On top of all of that though, small towns are evil on their own. In my experience at least. They are the darkest corners of the earth where sick people accumulate and all the residents hide their secrets. I’m white and my parents came from a town like this. Mostly white people there honestly and I moved there from grade 10-12 (grew up with my mother and she wasn’t much better). It f*cked me up for life and I can honestly say I feel fortunate I made it out. You can actually FEEL the evil energy when you drive into town if you’re sensitive to that type of thing. There’s been missing girls from there as well and, same thing, nobody really knows about them. It’s easy to sweep things under the rug like that in isolated communities and the rest of the world doesn’t know or care. It’s nothing like the highway of tears as it’s just one small town out in the boonies surrounded by endless wilderness. It’s enough to draw the sick and twisted though. And the psychopaths don’t even have to leave if they don’t want to. Some are just passing through but many just live there. Everyone knows what they did but nobody says anything. It’s SICK beyond comprehension. There’s far more evil in this world than most of us could even ever imagine.

When I was driving alone cross country in 2006 I stopped for gas early evening in the middle of the NV desert. (I had driven twice cross country once alone in 1984 and once with a female friend in 1985 and never had any trouble.) An older guy at the pumps asked where I was headed I said I would probably stop in Winnemucca for the night. He said to get going, as it was getting dark ‘and there are bad actors on this road.’ Which had very little traffic. I took his advice. I had an eerie feeling I’d never had during the other 2 trips when I’d driven at night.

[@phaedrapage4217]

Exactly. Serial killers are drawn to those areas for good reason.

@@phaedrapage4217 Yup, very easy to get away with their crimes up there. Not likely to get interrupted either and if the victim escapes, well, where would they go anyway?

[@DinoCism]

@@phaedrapage4217 You know what would have prevented so many of these highway of tears cases? Decent infrastructure and poverty alleviation programs. Hitchhiking is only normal when people don't have access to vehicles or can't afford a bus (if they even have buses there anymore).

the suspicion about the family that owns the property came from the fact that the police had tried to search their property earlier in the investigation, and were denied permission to complete their search (WHERE she was later found)

[@csouthland]

Unfortunately, this is what happens when the police treat the people like garbage. The people come to not trust the police and sometimes even hate them. So, they refuse to cooperate with them out of fear for their own safety. This is a great example of how the government cannot rule without the consent of the governed. Had the property owner not feared his own government, then he would have absolutely allowed the search. Then, the police would have found Madison right away and maybe some key evidence like DNA.

I find it very strange that her mom says she wouldn't have stayed by herself, yet multiple people testified that they straight up told her that she would be alone and offered her a ride. Either she was drunk and made a poor choice, or she was the type of person who was confident being alone and enjoyed the outdoors. I don't really see any in-between in that scenario. People who don't enjoy the outdoors or are afraid to be left alone wouldn't choose to stay overnight outdoors at an empty camp site. Edit: Also, I see a lot of people talking about everyone leaving. If it was only day 1 of a 3 day event - unless literally everyone had work the next day I'm also confused why everyone left instead of camping.

You would be taking a big risk leaving a vehicle completely alone overnight at a Northern BC free rec site. There are no ubers there. Closest city that uber operates in is 10 hours away, just to give you an idea of how rural this area is. A taxi wouldn't even go down those rough backroads. These logging roads and free recreation camp sites are the wild west out here. Although parents like to think they know everything about their kids it usually isn't the case, especially at that age.

Coming from a lifetime designated driver, please do NOT leave your pals behind. If you went to an event in my vehicle, you were leaving in it. Unless you had already made plans to stay. My family and friends always made it home safely on my watch. I have no problem babysitting all of them, especially when I hear the terror in that poor mom's voice as she has to do the unthinkable, and call the police for her missing daughter. I would never want any of my friends' moms to EVER go through that. How could you ever look her in the face? It's okay to have fun, but keep an eye out for your mates.

Heartbreaking to lose a child, especially to the unknown I would think. RIP Maddy 💕💞

[@yateleyhypnotherapy2111]

You mean ALL those kids, after partying HARD, ALL decided to drive home instead of sleeping it off on sleeping bags? I don’t believe that for 1 minute. If they DID leave, it’s because they saw some trouble brewing. Funny how this case is SO similar to the other wee lass in the USA who disappeared after being invited with a “friend” who left her to “drive home with her boyfriend” instead. That lass’s body was found in her car in the lake, oddly her body was in the boot. The police said it must have “floated” there (floating between the headrests of the rear seats). I don’t believe THAT for a minute either. Moral of the story: Don’t go someplace with people you haven’t known for a while. Poor Maddie (& the other lass). RIP & may the perpetrators live in fear until they are executed.

[@jumpinjohnnyruss]

The event being advertised as open to everyone seems suspicious.

[@Bongwater33]

I agree, at a party weekend like that at least a few of the hard core party guys would have passed out in their tents, thats the whole reason to have a party weekend out at a lake it sounded really suspicious hen they said that every single person went home at 2-3 am and left her aloe there the other kids know something!

A woman would not stay all alone in a tent in the wilderness while everyone else left. She would have to be in such a deep sleep to do that or unconscious. She would not have stayed there alone.

@@saddletramp5000 well i'd like to disagree. in my younger years i've found myself more than once hiking for an hour or two back home/to the nearest friends place from what was initially meant to be an overnight camping thing. mind you, most of those 49 ppl probably never intended to stay the night, there was a fight, and once things calm down and more and more people start leaving, there is kind of a special vibe being amongst those "last few standing". you might be drunk but not blackout drunk, still kind of pumped up from the party yet the outdoors' calm sets in in those early hours of morning. "just a bit of walking and you get food and a proper bed?" you might think. not too bad. so you pack your valueables and head out. and yes, usually it's a small group at the end of like 5 people kind of thinking the same thing.

I am a brown girl and every time my group of friends went out, we protected each other, nobody danced with someone against their will, was groped, lost track of or went missing, drank too much and was not taken care of, etc. we went out together, stayed together and left together. The only time I went with a different group (happened to be white but didn't matter, just a different group where these things weren't communicated and I didn't realize), I was way too drunk, nobody took care of each other, people left me alone with a groper and it was horrible, I still remember it 10 years later. NEVER AGAIN DID I GO WITH THEM. I had assumed that these "rules" are universal in girls watching out for girls, and that people would check in with you whether you were OK or if the attention was wanted, checking on your condition etc. BASIC SAFETY AND CONSENT. I am the MOM when I go out with all my friends and I just do this, I didn't realize it wasn't common sense for some people!!!

[@reyana3632]

[@tmgalaske9488]

I wonder of they're friends with the owners of the property they were at? Mike even said that they weren't close but knew each other. I wonder if Jordyn or them knew Chelsea Quaw? Similar case of a fun loving, tradesgirl being found from an area already after it was searched. Somebody purposely screwed with Chelsea's case by misleading people online stating she was last seen in Prince George (they even had a random photo of someone circulating) when she was found 1 km away from where she went missing in Vanderhoof. EPANA is questionable as they like to have some narrative about women in their cases being involved in "prostitution" when their not, while others are and not on their list. Cops better start using some of criminologists Kim Rossma suggestions to get these cases solved.
