Author Maggie de Vries captivated an audience of 40 with the stories and struggles of her sister, as written in her book Missing Sarah. Maggie spoke of Sarah's disappearance, the discovery of her DNA on Robert Pickton's property in 2002, the trial, as well as the current public inquiry.
These touching and difficult stories were of particular interest to the students in the Women in Criminology class, where Missing Sarah is used as required reading, as well as to students who have connections to the missing women along Highway 16. Maggie will also be presenting on April 4 on the Hazelton Campus.
Many thanks to the Canada Council for the Arts, North Coast Library Federation and Northwest Community College for sponsoring this event.
