They call it the Highway of Tears.

A stretch of road so long and lonely, it swallows names.   

Girls vanish on the wind. Mothers fade into fog. Today, we drive down a road haunted by loss, and silenced by decades of neglect.

Highway 16 cuts across the wilderness of northern British Columbia — from Prince Rupert to Prince George.

Since the 1970s, at least 40 Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been found murdered along this road.

But ask the local communities, and they’ll tell you: The real number is likely higher.

Some were hitchhiking — with no other option to get between remote towns.

For decades, these disappearances were met with shrugs from police, headlines that barely made page four, and systems that failed to even keep records.

And all the while, the road kept taking women.

This episode is special, it features my daughter Savannah Weaver singing the song, 'Haunted Road.'
