This week, Alex tackles the unsolved disappearance of Annie Yassie. Annie was just shy of 14 years old when she disappeared from Sayisi Dene First Nation - near Tadoule Lake, in Manitoba. It’s been nearly 50 years since Annie went missing, and it seems as though there are more questions than answers. Tune in to learn more. Need a distraction? I got you.
If anyone has information regarding Annie’s disappearance, please contact the Cold Case Unit of the Winnipeg RCMP at 204-983-5461 or you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
