Im sure the folks here from the West Coast know about the stretch of Highway from Prince George and Prince Rupert. But i garuntee the folks from the East dont know about this place.

I first learned about this place 3 yrs ago, and since then everytime i drive Highway 16 i tell the green horns in the truck about the HIghway of Tears. And every time not one of them knows what the hell im talking about.... Im surprised that this place isnt more well known, this is a serious deal in my opinion. I know im a dude so i have nothing to worry about, but the fact people are boing snatched like stolen live stock off of the highway is kinda scary.

Im not going to rant or bitch or say what i think needs to be done, but id like to hear about WHAT YOU people know about this place so other people can know about this place....

I think lots of people from "the east' know of it. Stretch of road where many Aboriginal girls and women have gone missing over the years.

Truly a sad thing. Sadder still as no one has been called to account so far.

You would be wrong, I'm afraid.

lived in fraser lake form mid 70s to early 80s.my guess is that there is many killers.At that time hitch hiking was done alot and by very young girls. Lot of construction workers and trucking and many shady people came and went very fast
