In 2007, a small, safe town in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba is rattled when it’s reported a woman has been brutally murdered in her home after celebrating Halloween. Who could have done such a terrible thing to a loving mother and grandmother? The family still doesn’t have answers.

A special thanks to Donna Wettlaufer for speaking with me in regard to her sister’s murder. I appreciate her taking time out of her day to relive the painful memories of this tragic event. If you have any information on this case, please use the contact info below to report.
