Nancy Hixt tells the story of an unbreakable bond between a Calgary father and daughter.

Sarah Rae was Gord Rae’s only child. In his eyes, the sun would rise and set on her.

Their special daddy-daughter bond only grew as Sarah got older. Then, on Aug. 3, 2008, a stranger showed up at Gord’s doorstep.

It was a Calgary police homicide detective. Sarah, 24, had been murdered.

Sarah’s boyfriend, Travis Martel, found her body in the home he shared with his mother. He told police he owed a large gambling debt and that’s likely why Sarah was killed.

Follow the twists and turns, including the shocking discovery of a graphic and disturbing video that led police to solve the case.
