Winnipeg, 2014. A warm summer day ends with a chilling discovery—the body of 15-year-old Tina Fontaine, wrapped in plastic, pulled from the Red River. Her murder shocked the nation and became a rallying cry for Canada’s Indigenous communities. But Tina’s story is not the only one tied to these waters.
In this episode, we uncover the dark truth behind the Red River—a place long feared to conceal the remains of missing women. From the grassroots movement “Drag the Red” to the systemic failures exposed by Tina’s death, this case is more than a mystery. It’s a reckoning.
🔎 Join us as we investigate the unanswered questions, the community’s response, and the haunting silence that still hangs over Winnipeg’s Red River.
