Cindy Gladue was found dead in a hotel room bathtub at the Yellowhead Inn in Edmonton, Alberta in June 2011. After a pretty quick investigation, police arrested and charged Bradley Barton of Mississauga, Ontario with Cindy's murder. The trial that followed sparked outrage amongst the public and victims rights advocates, as well as Indigenous rights advocates. Cindy's murder and the trial that followed sparked the No More Stolen Sisters campaign that we see today for MMIWG, and she is widely considered an example for how Indigenous women are often portrayed and treated in the justice system.
