This is the case of Donna Jean Awcock, gone but never forgotten.

In 1995, in small town Goderich Ontario, teenager Mistie Murray was excited for an upcoming trip out East to meet her biological family.

Maybe it was you. 

The truth is, abuse can happen to, or be delivered by anyone from any class, any race, and any gender.

This is a story about Tracy Latimer.
