Halifax author and journalist Janice Landry returns to her roots, as she revisits high-profile Canadian police investigations she covered as a novice television reporter during the 1980s and 1990s. One story involves the unsolved murder of British Columbia teenager Andrea King, whose remains were found in 1992, in Nova Scotia woods, nearly a year after she disappeared. Landry also discusses the 1989 disappearance of Nova Scotia teenager Kimberly McAndrew, who was last seen leaving a Halifax Canadian Tire store where she worked. McAndrew remains missing.Landry conducted detailed, exclusive interviews with a former high-ranking RCMP officer who is also a retired, senior Halifax Regional Police (HRP) investigator. He confirms, on the record, for the first time, HRP investigated a number of murders and disappearances--including King and McAndrew--as the victims of a potential serial killer. No police officer has ever gone on the record to substantiate that theory, which has widely circulated in the media for years. The victims and families have had a major impact on Landry and the public. She hopes this book leads to a break in both cases, as well as other unsolved crimes. It will also shed light on the pain the families continue to endure. They deserve answers. The victims deserve justice.Landry also speaks with Canadians from five provinces, including first responders and front-line workers. These men and women bravely discuss how trauma, in and out of their work, has profoundly affected their lives, loved ones, and outlook.The author and her guests each have written a "Legacy Letter" for the public. Each letter is deeply personal and conveys a heartfelt message of loss and hope. This book is Landry's attempt to help them regain some of what has been lost.
