Over the past few decades, at least 40 women and girls—mostly Indigenous—have vanished or been found dead along this remote, unforgiving route, which winds through vast, isolated wilderness. This highway has become a chilling emblem of systemic neglect, where victims’ cries for justice have been ignored, their lives reduced to little more than statistics. Many of these women and girls, often hitchhiking, traveling alone, or living in vulnerable circumstances, were treated as expendable in a place where predatory killers lurk undetected. Despite years of investigations, the full extent of the violence remains buried, and the Highway of Tears stands as a brutal reminder of how easily society discards those it deems unworthy, their stories lost to a road that refuses to forget.
