Ex-RCMP officer probes Highway of Tears leads on own time

CBC News continues to investigate missing and murdered indigenous women and girls by exploring the stories of these women, their families and their communities.

For 10 years, private investigator Ray Michalko has been trying to solve British Columbia's infamous Highway of Tears cases — but nobody pays him to determine what may have happened to the murdered and missing women along that 800-kilometre stretch.

RCMP say the route along Highway 16 that winds between Prince George and Prince Rupert is where at least 18 women have gone missing or been murdered since 1969. Seventeen of those cases remain unsolved.
