may 1, 1978 - Monica Jack
Description:
Monica Jack was the youngest victim at 12 years old. She disappeared in May 1978 while riding her bike near Merritt, British Columbia. Her remains were found in 1996. Garry Taylor Handlen, a 67-year-old man, was charged in 2014 for her death and that of an 11-year-old girl, Kathryn-Mary Herbert, unrelated to the Highway of Tears investigation. Though Handlen claims he is not guilty of killing Jack, prosecutors maintain that he confessed to the crime during a conversation with an undercover RCMP officer prior to his arrest. Handlen’s trial began in 2018 in the British Columbia Supreme Court.
