before. literally they haven t been to the hospital before. we ve designed the van like a clinic. depending on the person s condition and needs, additional labs were done. we have some point of care labs we do in the van. we have medications, and so it s like a one-stop shop for people. up-to-date we ve served over 4,000 people. so imagine if we had two or three vans. our vision is to really expand. words cannot describe the feeling that you get providing care for someone who otherwise wouldn t be alive if your mobile health van wasn t there.

investigations cbc news more missing women on the highway of tears. discovery of a body by the time wendy ratte vanished, at least 15 women had either gone missing or been found dead somewhere along this highway. word was a serial killer was on the loose. for me as a reporter, it became sickening after a while to hear the police issue another release that another girl had gone missing. had wendy become highway victim number 16? her abandoned van wasn t far from the highway. you couldn t not look at it as a possibility. it s another woman gone missing in unsubstantiated ways. for some, that s all that s needed. in many ways it s perfectly valid. but as reporter frank peebles dug into the story, he found another so far unsubstantiated theory making the rounds around town. i know that the police spend a lot of time thinking about and investigating the jones theory.
refusing to share her outrage. wants very much to think that your father is not guilty. i know. and i can t blame him. you think he s living in la la land? i think he didn t see what i saw. he wasn t there. i was up to my neck in investigation, trying to find mom. and i can absolutely understand wanting to be blind to to the truth. because i was there too. you know, i don t want to speak badly about my sister. i really don t. but she, because of her activism in trying to find my mother for so many years, it was a lot easier for her, i think, to put everything aside and create an easy solution. me, i m happy to live with a question mark. i m not going to pretend it s anything else. why don t you want to see something, some kind of evidence, to back up what you ve seen on tape? the look in his eye on that tape was that s all you needed?

anna met reporter frank peoples in a downtown cafe. there s no one else in the room at the time. we were talking quietly. after about an hour of conversation, she finally just shook her said and said, i m very sure that it was dad. and the wrench in her eyes when that came out was something i don t think i can ever forget. by then the rcmp s lead investigator, robert burrett of the unsolved homicide division in vancouver was on the case. upon our review, we came to the same conclusion as judy did here that denis ratte was the suspect in his wife s disappearance. but there wasn t quite enough to charge him, is that right? that s correct, yes. and one of the things we decided was that undercover operation may be the best way to move this forward. undercover operation? yes. the undercover operation they
