In Her Defence: 50th Street

Author: The Globe and Mail

Amber Tuccaro was 20 years old when she left her infant son with a friend at a motel on the outskirts of Edmonton, and got into a vehicle with an unknown man. She was never seen alive again. But Amber left an important clue: A chilling recording of what appear to be the final moments of her life, and the voice of the man who may be her killer. Days after police released that recording to the public, Ambers remains were found in a field outside the city. She would be one of five women whose bodies were discovered in that area, and one of dozens more found in rural areas around Edmonton, the victims of a suspected serial killer or killers. Following the success of the hit first season, In Her Defence: 50th Street takes listeners to Ambers home in the Indigenous community of Fort Chipewyan, Alberta, retracing the final days of Ambers life, and revealing suspects and information that have never before been made public. In Her Defence: 50th Street explores the flawed police investigation into Ambers disappearance and death, and asks serious questions about her unsolved murder. Was Ambers case compromised by what her family alleges was a racist and biased police investigation? And does it mean a serial killer is still out there?
