Misty Cockerill and Tanya Smith (The Abbotsford Killer)
ABBOTSFORD, BRITISH COLUMBIA
On October 13, 1995, two teenage girls were walking along a familiar street as they were heading to a party. Along the way, they encountered a man who would change not only their lives, but the lives of their two families, multiple police districts and an entire community. For the next seven months that man played a game of cat and mouse, terrorizing the community.
