10:36 am
is rife with racism. and the handling of at least 9 cases involving the sudden death of indigenous people were so problematic. they should be re investigated. i found a systemic racism exists in thunder. bay police service at an institutional level. investigations were too often handled differently because the cease was indigenous investigators ignored evidence potentially pointed to a non accidental cause of contribution to the death. at least 9 of these cases should be re investigated by a multi disciplinary team. ah. after months of negotiations, we are given permission to cover the reopening of these 9 neglected cases. but at the last moment, the chief investigator, fails to show the replacement officer is sent to accompany us

10:38 am
a lot of the relationships between the police and the community. so we arrived on scene here. it's our only indoor scene of the 9 scenes that we're 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 our guide seizes the opportunity to make a few calls and chat to his colleagues. excited about we leave the car, but the microphone inside is 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 turn the thing off.
10:39 am
we were turned to the car from someone who is the policeman. seems put out by our questions on him and right, right. he redefines the rules governing or interviewing. is there a link between this crimes richard, i'm sure the schools with all due respect, gentlemen, we've known each other for a couple hours in 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 and put back together. do you know what i'm saying? i see. yeah. ah, there are 3 boys on here. the tour of crime scenes continues carefulness. no gentlemen. oh, we carry on along the river of tears,

a canal with a sinister reputation. oh, in recent years, several indigenous corpses had 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. also unexplained, the deaths have been filed under accidental. that's what the police watchdog recorded in their report. so this is area kristen glenn was found at the end of march 2016 right by the sign was $29.00. at the time, the woman was found in the early hours, her pants down and close, scattered despite signs of sexual activity and traces of dna held on
10:41 am
file the place quickly closed the case. officially, christina died from hypothermia. why was it's classified as a sudden death? you're saying, yeah, because there was no evidence to say otherwise to lead it into an or criminal investigation. so you can't create evidence freight. if you're living 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 live 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 situation,

10:43 am
it's got some sensitive elements to it for sure, but we could talk and if i don't feel comfortable asking, answering a question that i won't answer ah, the following morning we make one final attempt at a crime scene. ah. hi, i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to plead with you. whatever you do. do not watch my new show. certainly by watch something that's so different my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else. welcome to please. if you have the state department, the cia weapons makers, multi $1000000.00 corporations, choose your facts for you. go ahead. i change and whatever you do. don't watch my show, stay mainstream because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact, but again,
