7:36 am
be re investigated by a multi disciplinary team. ah, after months of negotiations, we are given permission to cover the reopening these 9 neglected cases. but at the last moment, the chief investigator, fails to show the replacement officer was sent to accompany us. a local policeman said he's been painted in a little bit of a negative light recently. and just with a lot of negative media, our crime. we've been at the top of some of the pretty bad categories when it comes to crime scene, domestics, or violent crimes or murder work or higher up there. so a lot of people see that and they paint front bay with a certain brush with i don't want anyone thinking that investigations are cut
7:37 am
short, so we're here to reinvestigate these 9 and kind of go over the top. make sure every single thing is found. every stone is overturned, the officer must restore the police services prestige. it's a daunting task. i feel like that's gonna go a long way and rebuild a lot of the relationships between the police and the community. so we're arrived on scene here. it's our only indoor scene of the 9 scenes that were re investigating. so the access is going to be limited. so that's $210.00 east victoria avenue. ah, from the very 1st crime scene, we are kept at a distance. ah guys, he says the opportunity to make
7:38 am
a few calls and chat to his colleagues expect about we leave the car with the microphone inside a still switched on. and i agreed to do this. these 2 french guys are hilarious. they're amazing. trust. i got a mike on i got a mike on the 1st turn, the thing off we returned to the car from someone who is the policeman. seems put out by our questions on him. right, right. he redefines the rules governing or interviewing is there a link between this crime comes a residential schools with all due respect, gentlemen, we've known each other for a couple hours and the way that there's so much negativity given on to the police that i don't, especially the front of a police, i just don't feel comfortable giving those types of answers that could be chopped
7:39 am
and put back together. you know what i'm saying? i see. ah, there is 3 boys on here. the tour of crime scenes continues carefulness. no gentlemen, for we carry on along the river of tears, a canal with a sinister reputation. oh, in recent years, several indigenous corpses have been fished out of these waters. some of these cases are part of the new investigation. careful where you walk guys, because there's a lot of empty packages here from needles. so just have a look while you're walking. so on explain the deaths have
7:40 am

7:41 am
a higher risk lifestyle and you're constantly using and abusing substances, then you're going to put yourself in high risk situations. so for the youths that lived that lifestyle, whether whatever race they be, it's, you know, when you're doing that, you're playing a different game. there's, there's a bigger chance of something bad can happen if you surround yourself in situations that have a greater risk to them, to your health and safety. so ah, the usual reference to the indigenous lifestyle it is a common argument put forward by the police with the investigations now reopened. it's a sensitive subject to the case manager can leopard wanted to stick the line of questioning strictly 2 questions about the scenes. he didn't

7:51 am
yes. had her sexual rate. yes. it's like a horror movie. it goes on and on, on and on. when the case came to court, the canadian government adopted an odd position. it refused to handle for elegance . victims no longer have access to their own testimony. it will take years for them to recover it. oh, the government was forced to turn over those documents. but then they blacked out the names of many of the perpetrators. what we got back was page after page after page of empty documents, the government blacked out almost all the evidence for them. the documents weren't useful for many of the worst criminals got away. the bishop's got away. ah, the ones who done most of the damage never got charged. ah,
