On June 24th 2008, 21-year-old mother of four, Claudette Osborne-Tyo, checked into the Lincoln Motor Hotel located on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Whilst there, Claudette met a male trucker who she became scared of after he tried to force himself on her. Claudette managed to flee the motel towards a phone booth located at the intersection of Selkirk Avenue and King Street, where she made a number of desperate phone calls to relatives in the early hours of June 25th, asking them to come and pick her up, but unfortunately, nobody answered. Claudette left a disturbing voice message for one of her sisters which was received three days later, however, this was the last time that she ever made contact with her loved ones.
