On March 9, 1947 Inspector Vance of the Vancouver Police Department was called to an apartment in Kitsilano, Vancouver to check out a suspicious death. Seventeen-year-old Ruth Cooperman was found naked and lying dead across her husband’s unconscious body.

This podcast is based on original research from a chapter in my book Blood, Sweat, and Fear: The Story of Inspector Vance.
