Over 50 women disappear from Vancouver's most vulnerable area, Downtown Eastside. Many of the women are drug addicts and prostitutes. But that's where the clues end.
New episodes from P3 Documentary can be found first in Sveriges Radio Play.
It turns out that many of the missing women sold sex in Downtown Eastside, where they also lived. But there are no traces and no suspected perpetrator.
The missing women are daughters who always called on Mother's Day, they are mothers who struggled to keep their children, they are sisters who promised to come home again.
