MURDERED: Girly Chew Hossencofft
When a young mother fails to show up at her scheduled shift at the bank, her friends and colleagues are immediately suspicious. The investigation into her disappearance uncovers a truth so twisted, it’s almost impossible to believe — and shows us all how tangled people can become in the web of a conman’s lies.
We’d love to speak with you and see how we can support.

In 2021, we set out to cover the case of Rhys Pocan, a 35-year-old Indigenous woman who was murdered in Wisconsin in the ‘80s. But while we were in the field, we uncovered a disturbing pattern of murders with similarities to Rhys’ that were just too blatant to ignore. So, we spent the next three years working with local and federal law enforcement to try and get to the bottom of it.
