It’s a cold, rainy night in Chilliwack, British Columbia.
Ten-year-old Jo-Anne “Jo-Jo” Pedersen walks alone through the storm, a pink jacket pulled tight around her shoulders, heading to a corner store to call her mom. But when her mother arrives twenty minutes later, the phone booth stands empty — the receiver swaying in the rain.
Forty years later, her disappearance remains one of the Fraser Valley’s most haunting mysteries.
This episode retraces that night, the desperate search that followed, and the lingering questions that still echo across generations.
