Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,233 --> 00:00:05,801
We have an individual saying
he has a woman in the trunk
2
00:00:05,835 --> 00:00:11,373
of his car who he found walking
on the side of the road
3
00:00:11,407 --> 00:00:14,209
and was naked from the waist down.
4
00:00:14,244 --> 00:00:17,846
I don't think he appreciates the
connection Nadine and I have.
5
00:00:17,881 --> 00:00:18,847
It's special.
6
00:00:23,186 --> 00:00:28,490
It was absolutely
unimaginably horrifying.
7
00:00:28,524 --> 00:00:31,927
Whoever did that to
her had to be stopped.
8
00:00:31,961 --> 00:00:34,162
We have a witness who
says he picked you up
9
00:00:34,197 --> 00:00:35,831
on the side of the road.
10
00:00:37,767 --> 00:00:39,268
Found this outside the building.
11
00:00:41,671 --> 00:00:43,805
We have located evidence
12
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,975
and still we're not arresting anybody.
13
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:50,012
You can't let this happen to Nadine.
14
00:00:50,046 --> 00:00:51,880
You gotta find her, OK?
15
00:01:00,256 --> 00:01:05,845

16
00:01:17,373 --> 00:01:20,976
In 2010, prostitution was illegal.
17
00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:23,779
The Pretty Woman movie
kind of made it to be
18
00:01:23,813 --> 00:01:28,317
a little Hollywood,
glamourous, role to play.
19
00:01:29,852 --> 00:01:32,721
There's a fantasy that it's by choice,
20
00:01:32,755 --> 00:01:35,457
but for most people that
I've had experience with,
21
00:01:35,491 --> 00:01:39,027
the reality is that there has
been some type of physical or
22
00:01:39,062 --> 00:01:44,266
sexual, emotional abuse and
they turn to the sex trade
23
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:46,034
as a means of survival.
24
00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:54,076
When I first started
policing in Halifax,
25
00:01:54,110 --> 00:01:57,813
I started as an investigator
in the Sexual Assault Unit.
26
00:01:57,847 --> 00:02:00,449
Years later, I became the Supervisor.
27
00:02:04,087 --> 00:02:06,888
I just got a call from a woman
who wants to report an assault.
28
00:02:06,923 --> 00:02:07,823
Says she knows you.
29
00:02:07,857 --> 00:02:10,058
- Who?
- Nadine Taylor.
30
00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:11,593
Nadine Taylor? What'd she say?
31
00:02:11,627 --> 00:02:14,396
Not much. Just that she wants to
talk, and she wants you there.
32
00:02:14,430 --> 00:02:16,064
I can take you down if you like.
33
00:02:19,669 --> 00:02:21,737
There was a fairly
high level of mistrust
34
00:02:21,771 --> 00:02:24,940
between sex trade workers and police.
35
00:02:26,609 --> 00:02:29,311
For that reason, it's uncommon
for a sex trade worker
36
00:02:29,345 --> 00:02:31,346
to report sexualized violence.
37
00:02:34,384 --> 00:02:35,684
It's just over here.
38
00:02:35,718 --> 00:02:38,620
But the relationship with
Nadine, fostered over the years,
39
00:02:38,654 --> 00:02:41,390
was definitely beneficial
to gain her trust.
40
00:02:41,424 --> 00:02:42,624
You've been here before?
41
00:02:42,658 --> 00:02:44,626
Yeah. I've known Nadine awhile.
42
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:47,029
She's been a sex worker since
she dropped out of high school,
43
00:02:47,063 --> 00:02:48,263
about 10 years ago.
44
00:02:48,297 --> 00:02:50,198
That's a long time to be on the streets.
45
00:02:50,233 --> 00:02:52,000
Did Nadine mention
anything else in the call,
46
00:02:52,035 --> 00:02:53,602
other than it was an assault?
47
00:02:53,636 --> 00:02:55,504
No. Just that she wanted to talk to you.
48
00:03:03,379 --> 00:03:05,647
- Hi. Detectives Hart, Jones.
- Yeah.
49
00:03:05,681 --> 00:03:06,748
We're here to see Nadine.
50
00:03:07,683 --> 00:03:08,868
Come in.
51
00:03:14,457 --> 00:03:18,093
Hey, Nadine. How you doing?
52
00:03:18,127 --> 00:03:20,028
Not good.
53
00:03:20,063 --> 00:03:21,329
Not good.
54
00:03:21,364 --> 00:03:23,565
I had a bad date, Penny.
55
00:03:23,599 --> 00:03:25,133
Real bad.
56
00:03:25,168 --> 00:03:27,035
What happened?
57
00:03:27,070 --> 00:03:29,337
- Who's that?
- That's Jones.
58
00:03:29,372 --> 00:03:31,873
She's new to the unit, but...
59
00:03:31,908 --> 00:03:34,176
she's gonna help us figure
out who did this to you.
60
00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:36,344
But first you need to tell
us what happened, OK?
61
00:03:39,248 --> 00:03:41,149
I was working the South End.
62
00:03:41,184 --> 00:03:43,151
I had a good night. I had a great night.
63
00:03:43,186 --> 00:03:44,719
A couple of regulars. It was late.
64
00:03:46,389 --> 00:03:48,690
I didn't need to do another
job, I had good money.
65
00:03:48,724 --> 00:03:49,991
But, you know how it is.
66
00:03:58,634 --> 00:04:00,001
I should have just gone home.
67
00:04:00,036 --> 00:04:01,536
Nadine, it's not your fault.
68
00:04:03,306 --> 00:04:04,439
OK, it's not.
69
00:04:06,075 --> 00:04:07,676
Just tell me what happened next.
70
00:04:11,981 --> 00:04:13,748
We agreed on the price.
71
00:04:18,488 --> 00:04:21,256
He didn't fuss or anything,
just paid right up.
72
00:04:22,658 --> 00:04:23,892
He was polite and all.
73
00:04:23,926 --> 00:04:26,394
So what's one more, right?
74
00:04:26,429 --> 00:04:27,796
I should've just gone home.
75
00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:30,298
I should've trusted
my gut and gone home!
76
00:04:52,655 --> 00:04:54,489
OK.
77
00:05:15,344 --> 00:05:17,112
My God, Nadine.
78
00:05:20,249 --> 00:05:24,186
I'm so sorry, that must
have been horrible.
79
00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:27,422
I couldn't see anything, you know?
80
00:05:27,456 --> 00:05:29,491
All I could hear was
this rushing in my ears
81
00:05:29,525 --> 00:05:30,659
like I was drowning.
82
00:05:33,663 --> 00:05:37,866
And I thought... that was it,
83
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:40,268
I thought it was all over.
84
00:05:40,303 --> 00:05:42,404
So how did you get away?
85
00:05:42,438 --> 00:05:43,838
A rock.
86
00:05:43,873 --> 00:05:46,741
Threw it at a window as hard
as I could and made some noise.
87
00:05:46,776 --> 00:05:48,910
I took off, he took off.
88
00:05:48,945 --> 00:05:51,413
That's it.
89
00:05:51,447 --> 00:05:55,150
His name was Jack. I don't know.
90
00:05:55,184 --> 00:05:57,152
Probably fake, they all lie.
91
00:05:57,186 --> 00:05:58,853
Did you get a good look at him?
92
00:06:01,490 --> 00:06:06,027
Your average white guy, 50's.
93
00:06:06,062 --> 00:06:07,629
Missing some teeth.
94
00:06:08,831 --> 00:06:09,864
Blond.
95
00:06:12,034 --> 00:06:15,370
Nadine had been brutally
sexually assaulted
96
00:06:15,404 --> 00:06:19,507
and there was no doubt this
person would have killed her.
97
00:06:22,645 --> 00:06:25,180
Some people, they don't
see a sex trade worker
98
00:06:25,214 --> 00:06:30,719
as a human being, as a mother,
a sister, a daughter.
99
00:06:30,753 --> 00:06:36,224
They objectify a person who
is working in the sex trade.
100
00:06:36,259 --> 00:06:40,295
They don't feel that it's
abusive or a violation
101
00:06:40,329 --> 00:06:43,665
because they've paid for
a particular service.
102
00:06:43,699 --> 00:06:46,401
And so, there's a sense
that they're entitled to do
103
00:06:46,435 --> 00:06:47,936
whatever they choose to do.
104
00:06:53,042 --> 00:06:57,212
The violence that people
inflict on sex trade workers,
105
00:06:57,246 --> 00:07:01,750
the majority of people
have no understanding
106
00:07:01,784 --> 00:07:03,218
of that level of violence.
107
00:07:05,021 --> 00:07:06,655
What's your take on the boyfriend?
108
00:07:06,689 --> 00:07:08,056
Gene's her fianc�.
109
00:07:09,525 --> 00:07:11,559
He seems genuinely concerned.
110
00:07:16,065 --> 00:07:18,967
We knew we had a possible
predator out there.
111
00:07:19,001 --> 00:07:21,569
But we didn't have a lot to go on.
112
00:07:21,604 --> 00:07:24,572
There was nothing in the
system matching this guy.
113
00:07:30,046 --> 00:07:32,580
Since Nadine was taken to the South End,
114
00:07:32,615 --> 00:07:36,284
we thought maybe he lived in that area.
115
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,054
Hi, I just sent something over to you.
116
00:07:39,088 --> 00:07:41,589
Um, make sure that you
radio the guy's description
117
00:07:41,624 --> 00:07:44,459
and the location out to all units, OK?
118
00:07:44,493 --> 00:07:46,061
Maybe we'll get lucky.
119
00:07:46,095 --> 00:07:47,262
Thanks.
120
00:07:49,932 --> 00:07:51,966
Found this outside the building.
121
00:07:52,001 --> 00:07:53,635
Could be what Jack used.
122
00:07:59,942 --> 00:08:00,875
Anything else?
123
00:08:00,910 --> 00:08:02,544
Tire marks, witnesses?
124
00:08:02,578 --> 00:08:03,812
Nothing yet.
125
00:08:07,183 --> 00:08:09,784
We needed to start trying
to figure out exactly
126
00:08:09,819 --> 00:08:11,786
what we have here.
127
00:08:11,821 --> 00:08:15,590
We needed more information.
128
00:08:15,624 --> 00:08:19,794
With cases like this, we often
reach out to other people in the
129
00:08:19,829 --> 00:08:23,465
sex trade community to
find out if anybody else
130
00:08:23,499 --> 00:08:26,234
has had an experience similar to this.
131
00:08:28,871 --> 00:08:30,605
And we have the resource centre
132
00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:34,175
for sex trade workers in Halifax.
133
00:08:34,210 --> 00:08:37,212
We had a very good rapport
with Stepping Stone.
134
00:08:40,349 --> 00:08:41,850
Hey, Cassy, how are you?
135
00:08:41,884 --> 00:08:45,854
Have you heard of a bad
date, goes by the name Jack?
136
00:08:45,888 --> 00:08:47,288
Sounds vaguely familiar.
137
00:08:47,323 --> 00:08:48,857
What's he look like?
138
00:08:48,891 --> 00:08:52,160
Uh, Blond. 50s. Missing a few teeth.
139
00:08:52,194 --> 00:08:54,462
Yeah, I think...
140
00:08:54,497 --> 00:08:56,464
You know Christine?
141
00:08:56,499 --> 00:08:57,632
She's upstairs.
142
00:08:57,666 --> 00:08:58,867
Ask her.
143
00:09:05,741 --> 00:09:07,008
Hey, Christine?
144
00:09:07,042 --> 00:09:08,543
Hey.
145
00:09:08,577 --> 00:09:11,479
Do you know of a - a
blond, violent john,
146
00:09:11,514 --> 00:09:13,481
goes by the name Jack?
147
00:09:13,516 --> 00:09:15,283
You here about Nadine?
148
00:09:15,317 --> 00:09:16,651
The guy that messed with her?
149
00:09:16,685 --> 00:09:18,620
Yeah. Do you know him?
150
00:09:18,654 --> 00:09:21,256
Yeah, I'm the one who
gave Nadine his name.
151
00:09:21,290 --> 00:09:24,592
Guy cut off my hair.
152
00:09:24,627 --> 00:09:27,162
Well, do you know where he lives?
153
00:09:27,196 --> 00:09:31,733
No. Just had one date
with him. That's it.
154
00:09:31,767 --> 00:09:33,334
You didn't report it?
155
00:09:41,076 --> 00:09:44,345
Weeks went by.
156
00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:47,015
I left the department and
moved over to homicide.
157
00:09:49,118 --> 00:09:51,386
Hey, Nadine's boyfriend just called.
158
00:09:51,420 --> 00:09:52,821
Nadine's gone missing.
159
00:10:02,523 --> 00:10:07,293
Nadine's fianc� reported Nadine missing.
160
00:10:07,327 --> 00:10:10,463
I was hoping she would
be perfectly fine.
161
00:10:10,497 --> 00:10:14,634
Realistically, the chances
were slim, but it's possible.
162
00:10:18,572 --> 00:10:21,340
She'd had a good night working.
163
00:10:21,375 --> 00:10:23,409
We were going to have a
little party, you know,
164
00:10:23,444 --> 00:10:25,445
just the two of us.
165
00:10:25,479 --> 00:10:29,615
And uh, she went out to make a
phone call and never came back.
166
00:10:29,650 --> 00:10:31,317
Who was she calling?
167
00:10:31,351 --> 00:10:32,685
I don't know.
168
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,320
Did she have any bad dates that night?
169
00:10:34,354 --> 00:10:35,521
Any complaints?
170
00:10:35,556 --> 00:10:38,524
No, no weirdos, no nothing.
171
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,293
Just busy.
172
00:10:40,327 --> 00:10:42,795
And what did you do when
she didn't come back?
173
00:10:42,830 --> 00:10:44,464
Just sat here.
174
00:10:44,498 --> 00:10:45,565
Bored.
175
00:10:47,234 --> 00:10:49,235
Then I heard a honking outside.
176
00:10:49,269 --> 00:10:52,305
I went to the window to see what
it was, but it was too dark,
177
00:10:52,339 --> 00:10:54,540
I couldn't see anything.
178
00:10:54,575 --> 00:10:57,710
So I figured she just went
back on the job and...
179
00:10:57,745 --> 00:10:58,911
left me hanging.
180
00:10:58,946 --> 00:11:01,180
So you did nothing for three days?
181
00:11:03,784 --> 00:11:06,953
Look, sometimes she
splits, sometimes I split.
182
00:11:10,124 --> 00:11:13,259
I figured she'd be gone a day
or two and then she'd be back.
183
00:11:13,293 --> 00:11:15,161
We'd forget the whole thing.
184
00:11:15,195 --> 00:11:17,497
And you have no idea who
might have picked her up?
185
00:11:19,633 --> 00:11:22,268
Just there's this
client, it's a regular.
186
00:11:22,302 --> 00:11:23,803
Too regular.
187
00:11:23,837 --> 00:11:26,405
Thinks he's her boyfriend or something.
188
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,640
You got a name?
189
00:11:27,674 --> 00:11:30,309
Robert Turner.
190
00:11:30,344 --> 00:11:32,979
I called him the next day and
he said he hadn't seen her.
191
00:11:33,013 --> 00:11:35,314
He might be lying, though.
192
00:11:35,349 --> 00:11:36,749
We're not too friendly.
193
00:11:36,784 --> 00:11:39,418
Do you remember what she
was wearing when she left?
194
00:11:39,453 --> 00:11:40,953
Yeah, she had those shoes,
195
00:11:40,988 --> 00:11:42,922
those shoes she's always wearing.
196
00:11:42,956 --> 00:11:44,290
Um, hang on.
197
00:11:50,397 --> 00:11:51,764
They're her favourites.
198
00:11:57,337 --> 00:11:59,038
You're gonna find her, right?
199
00:12:01,141 --> 00:12:04,443
Tell her I'm sorry, OK?
200
00:12:04,478 --> 00:12:05,778
That I didn't call right away.
201
00:12:10,083 --> 00:12:12,985
Nadine and Gene both had
202
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:15,621
struggles and challenges in life.
203
00:12:15,656 --> 00:12:18,991
Both of them had some addictions.
204
00:12:19,026 --> 00:12:21,961
And yet, he cared for Nadine,
205
00:12:21,995 --> 00:12:25,565
he was concerned for her well-being,
206
00:12:25,599 --> 00:12:28,234
and he wanted to assist
in any way he could
207
00:12:28,268 --> 00:12:30,703
to try and find her.
208
00:12:30,737 --> 00:12:33,606
Considering the level
of his cooperation,
209
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,610
I believed he was genuinely
trying to find Nadine.
210
00:12:46,787 --> 00:12:50,389
Some plainclothes vice officers
saw Nadine working that night.
211
00:12:50,424 --> 00:12:53,159
Maybe she just ran off?
212
00:12:53,193 --> 00:12:57,263
Maybe they had a lover's quarrel
that Gene's not mentioning?
213
00:12:57,297 --> 00:12:59,665
Hm, could be.
214
00:12:59,700 --> 00:13:02,134
I'll bring Turner in, and then
check Nadine's bank account
215
00:13:02,169 --> 00:13:04,303
to see if there was any recent activity.
216
00:13:04,338 --> 00:13:06,339
OK. And I'll talk to her mom.
217
00:13:06,373 --> 00:13:08,374
I've met her a few times before.
218
00:13:08,408 --> 00:13:09,308
Thanks, Hart.
219
00:13:17,484 --> 00:13:19,285
Nadine didn't call me.
220
00:13:19,319 --> 00:13:21,721
She always calls me.
221
00:13:21,755 --> 00:13:23,823
She hasn't checked in in over a week.
222
00:13:23,857 --> 00:13:25,892
Something's not right.
223
00:13:25,926 --> 00:13:31,397
Has she told you about this
client who hurt her? Jack?
224
00:13:31,431 --> 00:13:32,732
Of course she did.
225
00:13:32,766 --> 00:13:34,300
I'm her mother.
226
00:13:34,334 --> 00:13:37,069
I'm just, I'm just trying
to help find your daughter.
227
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:44,210
You wouldn't have to find her if
cops protected girls like her.
228
00:13:44,244 --> 00:13:46,112
We, we do what we can.
229
00:13:46,146 --> 00:13:49,849
You know that, Donna.
Come on, you know me.
230
00:13:49,883 --> 00:13:53,052
But we need to know what's
happening out there.
231
00:13:53,086 --> 00:13:55,621
We need communication.
232
00:13:55,656 --> 00:13:57,556
I know. I'm sorry.
233
00:13:57,591 --> 00:14:03,362
It's just... you gotta find her, OK?
234
00:14:03,397 --> 00:14:04,797
You got to.
235
00:14:04,831 --> 00:14:08,534
Did Nadine's friends
mention this blond guy?
236
00:14:08,568 --> 00:14:11,137
I mean, they'd tell you
before they told me, right?
237
00:14:11,171 --> 00:14:12,505
I haven't heard anything.
238
00:14:14,074 --> 00:14:15,875
What about Robert Turner?
239
00:14:15,909 --> 00:14:18,678
Has she mentioned anything about him?
240
00:14:18,712 --> 00:14:22,048
Robbie? That guy?
241
00:14:22,082 --> 00:14:23,349
He's harmless.
242
00:14:26,153 --> 00:14:29,388
You can't let this happen to Nadine.
243
00:14:29,423 --> 00:14:31,724
Just... not her.
244
00:14:32,926 --> 00:14:35,695
I'll, I'll come by soon, OK?
245
00:14:37,064 --> 00:14:39,165
Thank you.
246
00:14:44,471 --> 00:14:48,908
Nadine had many clients, but
she did have one in particular
247
00:14:48,942 --> 00:14:53,813
who had uh, a different kind
of relationship with her.
248
00:14:53,847 --> 00:14:56,983
So, when was the last
time you saw Nadine?
249
00:14:57,017 --> 00:14:59,118
About a month ago, I'd say.
250
00:14:59,152 --> 00:15:00,619
And before that?
251
00:15:00,654 --> 00:15:01,754
Uh, well.
252
00:15:01,788 --> 00:15:03,622
Uh, let's just say I saw
her pretty regularly.
253
00:15:03,657 --> 00:15:05,157
Maybe a couple of times a week.
254
00:15:05,192 --> 00:15:06,625
But you haven't seen her this month.
255
00:15:06,660 --> 00:15:08,027
No, right.
256
00:15:08,061 --> 00:15:10,363
I, uh...
257
00:15:10,397 --> 00:15:13,132
I had a conversation with Gene.
258
00:15:13,166 --> 00:15:14,934
Her fianc�.
259
00:15:14,968 --> 00:15:17,069
If he says so.
260
00:15:17,104 --> 00:15:20,072
Nadine's her own woman,
I'll tell you that much.
261
00:15:20,107 --> 00:15:23,442
So you and Gene don't
really get along, I take it?
262
00:15:23,477 --> 00:15:24,810
He's the jealous type.
263
00:15:24,845 --> 00:15:26,278
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense,
264
00:15:26,313 --> 00:15:28,114
considering the kind
of work Nadine does.
265
00:15:28,148 --> 00:15:30,316
But that doesn't stop him
from trying to make a point
266
00:15:30,350 --> 00:15:32,785
every once in a while.
267
00:15:32,819 --> 00:15:37,790
Gene said that he doesn't have
a problem with any other client.
268
00:15:37,824 --> 00:15:39,625
Except for you.
269
00:15:39,659 --> 00:15:43,462
Do you have any idea why that might be?
270
00:15:43,497 --> 00:15:47,299
I don't think he appreciates the
connection Nadine and I have.
271
00:15:47,334 --> 00:15:50,136
It's special.
272
00:15:50,170 --> 00:15:52,405
So where were you the night of the 28th?
273
00:15:52,439 --> 00:15:55,674
Home.
274
00:15:55,709 --> 00:15:56,709
Went to bed early.
275
00:15:56,743 --> 00:15:58,177
Not much going on.
276
00:15:58,211 --> 00:16:00,646
Can anyone corroborate that?
277
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,282
Look, I would never hurt Nadine.
278
00:16:03,316 --> 00:16:06,218
I'm not like these other guys, OK?
279
00:16:06,253 --> 00:16:08,220
It's not about sex with her.
280
00:16:08,255 --> 00:16:10,389
It's something more.
281
00:16:10,424 --> 00:16:13,225
Until Gene put a stop to it.
282
00:16:13,260 --> 00:16:17,296
He tried, but it wasn't going to last.
283
00:16:17,330 --> 00:16:19,098
The guy's holding her back.
284
00:16:19,132 --> 00:16:23,402
He sits around all day,
spending Nadine's money.
285
00:16:23,437 --> 00:16:25,271
No wonder she left.
286
00:16:25,305 --> 00:16:28,974
And if she did, do you have
any idea where she might go?
287
00:16:30,744 --> 00:16:32,912
No.
288
00:16:37,284 --> 00:16:41,487
Three weeks had gone by, the
trail was getting colder.
289
00:16:41,521 --> 00:16:44,924
And then the most
unusual thing happened.
290
00:16:51,631 --> 00:16:52,698
Help!
291
00:16:54,201 --> 00:16:56,202
Can somebody help me, please!
292
00:16:56,236 --> 00:16:59,672
One evening, a call was received
at our dispatch centre
293
00:16:59,706 --> 00:17:04,276
from a male who identified
himself as Steven Laffin.
294
00:17:04,311 --> 00:17:06,779
Yes, hello, um, I-I-I
need - I need help.
295
00:17:06,813 --> 00:17:09,582
Um, I'm at the uh, the community office.
296
00:17:09,616 --> 00:17:12,351
No. I-I don't know.
297
00:17:12,385 --> 00:17:13,552
OK.
298
00:17:13,587 --> 00:17:15,554
OK, j-just hurry, please.
299
00:17:15,589 --> 00:17:16,755
OK.
300
00:17:21,761 --> 00:17:24,663
I don't know what caused him to...
301
00:17:24,698 --> 00:17:26,265
to make that phone call that night.
302
00:17:27,667 --> 00:17:28,934
Hey!
303
00:17:28,969 --> 00:17:30,269
Hey!
304
00:17:31,605 --> 00:17:33,572
Hey.
305
00:17:33,607 --> 00:17:35,975
Hey, listen, I-I - I need your help, OK?
306
00:17:36,009 --> 00:17:37,510
All right, take it easy, slow down.
307
00:17:37,544 --> 00:17:39,578
I found a woman by the side of the road.
308
00:17:39,613 --> 00:17:41,847
She was all messed up, cut and bleeding,
309
00:17:41,882 --> 00:17:44,950
and it looked like someone
had beaten the hell out of her.
310
00:17:44,985 --> 00:17:47,720
I-I tried to take her to a
hospital, but she just lost it.
311
00:17:47,754 --> 00:17:49,021
Where is she now?
312
00:17:49,055 --> 00:17:50,389
She's, uh...
313
00:17:50,423 --> 00:17:52,091
She, uh, she's in the trunk.
314
00:17:52,125 --> 00:17:54,193
No-no-no don't...
315
00:17:54,227 --> 00:17:56,262
- Open the trunk.
- Look, I know that sounds crazy!
316
00:17:56,296 --> 00:17:58,264
But, you need to listen
to me, she needs help!
317
00:17:58,298 --> 00:17:59,932
- Open it now!
- OK, OK, OK!
318
00:18:04,004 --> 00:18:05,237
Whoa, easy.
319
00:18:05,272 --> 00:18:06,272
Keep your hands in view.
320
00:18:09,509 --> 00:18:11,544
There's an individual
saying he has a woman
321
00:18:11,578 --> 00:18:13,646
in the trunk of his car.
322
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,882
Our officers responding
are quite curious to see
323
00:18:16,917 --> 00:18:20,019
who may be in the trunk of this car.
324
00:18:20,053 --> 00:18:22,121
And then there's nobody
in the trunk of the car.
325
00:18:28,835 --> 00:18:33,772
Steven Elliott Laffin called
the police, just like that.
326
00:18:33,807 --> 00:18:36,909
I was hoping at that point
that I would at least
327
00:18:36,943 --> 00:18:41,613
find out something to help
with finding Nadine.
328
00:18:41,648 --> 00:18:42,781
- Hey.
- Hey.
329
00:18:42,816 --> 00:18:44,983
- Is this the guy?
- Yup.
330
00:18:45,985 --> 00:18:49,588
Laffin... thirty-five, married...
331
00:18:49,622 --> 00:18:50,989
works construction...
332
00:18:51,024 --> 00:18:53,258
reported a car accident
not that long ago.
333
00:18:53,293 --> 00:18:54,460
Did you talk to the wife?
334
00:18:54,494 --> 00:18:55,961
Uh, she swears Laffin's a good guy.
335
00:18:55,995 --> 00:18:57,963
But she wouldn't let us in the house.
336
00:18:57,997 --> 00:18:59,665
I want everything on
this guy. Everything.
337
00:18:59,699 --> 00:19:00,733
OK.
338
00:19:03,603 --> 00:19:07,639
As an investigator, I want to
know why he was pulling into
339
00:19:07,674 --> 00:19:10,709
a police station and making a
phone call with a story
340
00:19:10,744 --> 00:19:14,246
that a woman is in the trunk of his car.
341
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,084
What makes that person's
brain tick in that moment?
342
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,386
Um...
343
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:25,457
It was um, a little after
10, I was driving home.
344
00:19:25,492 --> 00:19:28,894
You don't normally see a
lot of traffic on that road,
345
00:19:28,928 --> 00:19:30,562
let alone somebody walking.
346
00:19:33,199 --> 00:19:35,601
Right away, I could tell
something was wrong.
347
00:19:35,635 --> 00:19:38,804
Her clothes were all messed
up, torn and ripped.
348
00:19:38,838 --> 00:19:40,305
And I saw blood.
349
00:19:40,340 --> 00:19:41,273
Even in the dark.
350
00:19:41,307 --> 00:19:44,743
That's how - how bad it was.
351
00:19:44,778 --> 00:19:47,713
I-I couldn't just leave
her there, could I?
352
00:19:47,747 --> 00:19:49,782
What if whoever had done this to her,
353
00:19:49,816 --> 00:19:51,383
what if he was still out there?
354
00:19:53,253 --> 00:19:56,488
So I - I told her I'd
take her to the cops.
355
00:19:56,523 --> 00:19:58,690
When I got her in the
car, she said that um,
356
00:19:58,725 --> 00:20:03,829
somebody had taken her,
kept her locked up.
357
00:20:03,863 --> 00:20:07,499
The more she talked about
it, the worse she got.
358
00:20:07,534 --> 00:20:10,335
And then she just went crazy.
359
00:20:10,370 --> 00:20:14,907
She was crying, and screaming.
360
00:20:14,941 --> 00:20:16,608
She bit me.
361
00:20:16,643 --> 00:20:18,610
I-I almost crashed the car.
362
00:20:18,645 --> 00:20:21,613
Then she she started hitting
me and hitting herself.
363
00:20:21,648 --> 00:20:22,881
I didn't know what to do.
364
00:20:22,916 --> 00:20:24,450
What the hell is wrong with you?
365
00:20:24,484 --> 00:20:25,717
She just went crazy.
366
00:20:25,752 --> 00:20:27,920
I knew that I needed to
get her to the hospital,
367
00:20:27,954 --> 00:20:30,322
but I wasn't going to die trying.
368
00:20:30,356 --> 00:20:34,927
So I just, I don't know, I just um...
369
00:20:34,961 --> 00:20:36,895
I put her in the trunk.
370
00:20:36,930 --> 00:20:39,832
This was very bizarre.
371
00:20:39,866 --> 00:20:41,266
I didn't know what else to do.
372
00:20:41,301 --> 00:20:44,369
I drove straight to the
nearest police outpost and
373
00:20:44,404 --> 00:20:46,104
when I tried to show the officer,
374
00:20:49,409 --> 00:20:52,945
she must have gotten out
while I was driving.
375
00:20:52,979 --> 00:20:55,781
Can you describe her?
376
00:20:55,815 --> 00:21:00,385
Um, well, her face was
uh, pretty messed up.
377
00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:03,989
It looked like somebody had
hit... hurt her pretty badly.
378
00:21:07,126 --> 00:21:08,594
Who would do that to somebody?
379
00:21:19,305 --> 00:21:20,939
A woman just turned up at a farmhouse.
380
00:21:20,974 --> 00:21:23,275
Said she was kidnapped and
escaped from someone's trunk.
381
00:21:26,012 --> 00:21:27,412
Get his statement in writing.
382
00:21:27,447 --> 00:21:29,781
And no matter what you
do, just keep him there
383
00:21:29,816 --> 00:21:31,517
for as long as possible.
384
00:21:36,656 --> 00:21:40,659
So, we're having a 911 call
in a similar geographic area,
385
00:21:40,693 --> 00:21:42,761
like within five kilometres of here,
386
00:21:42,795 --> 00:21:45,898
about a woman who is
naked from the waist down,
387
00:21:45,932 --> 00:21:47,766
calling for an ambulance.
388
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,069
She has been assaulted
and requires assistance.
389
00:21:53,172 --> 00:21:57,309
She was a sex trade worker,
but it wasn't Nadine.
390
00:21:57,343 --> 00:22:00,546
Mary had thrown herself
headfirst from a vehicle that
391
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:04,182
was travelling at a fairly
high rate of speed.
392
00:22:04,217 --> 00:22:07,119
She had a contusion on her chest,
393
00:22:07,153 --> 00:22:11,590
laceration marks on her neck,
and road rash on approximately
394
00:22:11,624 --> 00:22:15,127
fifty percent of her body.
395
00:22:15,161 --> 00:22:17,696
Whoever did that to
her had to be stopped.
396
00:22:20,667 --> 00:22:22,401
It could have been a sexual assault,
397
00:22:22,435 --> 00:22:25,404
it could have been attempted
homicide, we just didn't know.
398
00:22:40,620 --> 00:22:44,189
It's still hazy.
399
00:22:44,223 --> 00:22:46,091
I can't remember everything.
400
00:22:51,264 --> 00:22:54,199
I was working.
401
00:22:54,233 --> 00:22:57,970
A guy picked me up at the bus stop.
402
00:22:58,004 --> 00:23:02,140
Drove me to a parking lot.
403
00:23:02,175 --> 00:23:04,276
Took me to a dark corner.
404
00:23:08,181 --> 00:23:09,581
And then what happened?
405
00:23:13,019 --> 00:23:18,624
We got out of the car, he
grabbed me and held me down,
406
00:23:18,658 --> 00:23:20,058
and then he just...
407
00:23:24,597 --> 00:23:25,631
he hit me.
408
00:23:27,367 --> 00:23:30,869
Over and over.
409
00:23:30,903 --> 00:23:34,039
He had a rock.
410
00:23:34,073 --> 00:23:37,542
And then he got his
hands around my throat.
411
00:23:37,577 --> 00:23:44,282
I kept passing out and waking up
and-and then I was in the trunk.
412
00:23:44,317 --> 00:23:46,184
How'd you get out?
413
00:23:46,219 --> 00:23:49,388
I saw the latch, so I opened it.
414
00:23:49,422 --> 00:23:52,624
The car was going so fast.
415
00:23:52,659 --> 00:23:54,493
But I just had to get out of there.
416
00:23:54,527 --> 00:23:59,931
I knew if I stayed
there uh, I'd be dead.
417
00:23:59,966 --> 00:24:04,436
After you escaped... we
have a witness who says
418
00:24:04,470 --> 00:24:08,407
he picked you up on
the side of the road.
419
00:24:08,441 --> 00:24:09,875
Do you remember that?
420
00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:12,477
No.
421
00:24:12,512 --> 00:24:16,915
I mean, some of it's a
blur, but I don't think so.
422
00:24:20,853 --> 00:24:24,222
You're very brave, Mary.
423
00:24:24,257 --> 00:24:29,661
I can't imagine what
you've been through.
424
00:24:29,696 --> 00:24:33,832
Trust me, I wasn't thinking
straight enough to be brave.
425
00:24:33,866 --> 00:24:37,406
I just, I don't know, it...
426
00:24:37,407 --> 00:24:39,827
it was all instinct.
427
00:24:40,973 --> 00:24:43,642
As soon as I got the tape off my mouth,
428
00:24:43,676 --> 00:24:46,244
all I could do was scream.
429
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:47,612
What tape?
430
00:24:47,647 --> 00:24:50,282
The guy had red duct tape.
431
00:24:50,316 --> 00:24:54,086
I remember seeing it in the
car before it all happened.
432
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:55,487
When I woke up in the trunk,
433
00:24:55,521 --> 00:25:00,992
he'd taped my mouth, my
wrists, my ankles...
434
00:25:33,626 --> 00:25:37,329
Absolutely, unimaginably horrifying.
435
00:25:37,363 --> 00:25:40,565
She felt that the only way for her to
436
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,902
have a chance of surviving
was to throw herself
437
00:25:43,936 --> 00:25:48,406
headfirst out of a moving vehicle.
438
00:25:48,441 --> 00:25:50,242
She did not believe she would survive
439
00:25:50,276 --> 00:25:52,944
if she stayed inside the car.
440
00:25:58,351 --> 00:26:00,852
Steven Laffin made the assumption that
441
00:26:00,887 --> 00:26:03,321
because she was a sex trade worker,
442
00:26:03,356 --> 00:26:09,795
we would automatically take
his word and not believe hers.
443
00:26:09,829 --> 00:26:13,732
Her hands were bound, her feet
were bound, her mouth was bound.
444
00:26:13,766 --> 00:26:16,668
Clearly, that did not
match up with a woman
445
00:26:16,702 --> 00:26:20,906
walking on the side of the
road, needing assistance.
446
00:26:24,510 --> 00:26:27,679
Since Mary and Nadine
have similar profiles,
447
00:26:27,713 --> 00:26:31,716
we had to consider him a person
of interest in both cases.
448
00:26:34,787 --> 00:26:37,789
You forgot to mention
that you taped her up.
449
00:26:37,824 --> 00:26:39,391
Gagged her.
450
00:26:39,425 --> 00:26:41,760
Did that slip your mind?
451
00:26:41,794 --> 00:26:43,995
She was trying to claw my eyes out.
452
00:26:44,030 --> 00:26:45,463
What do you expect me to do?
453
00:26:45,498 --> 00:26:46,932
I had to tie her up.
454
00:26:46,966 --> 00:26:49,301
Recognize her?
455
00:26:49,335 --> 00:26:51,002
That's Nadine Taylor.
456
00:26:51,037 --> 00:26:53,538
I have no idea who she is.
457
00:26:53,573 --> 00:26:54,806
I'm trying to help here.
458
00:26:54,841 --> 00:26:57,242
Where were you on the night of the 28th?
459
00:26:57,276 --> 00:27:00,011
Uh, I don't know.
460
00:27:00,046 --> 00:27:02,347
No, that was the night of
my wife's bachelorette.
461
00:27:02,381 --> 00:27:05,784
I was at home, watching TV.
462
00:27:05,818 --> 00:27:07,219
But that doesn't mean that...
463
00:27:07,253 --> 00:27:09,354
Charge him with kidnapping
for Mary Smith.
464
00:27:09,388 --> 00:27:11,289
And get forensics on his car.
465
00:27:11,324 --> 00:27:14,092
Check and see if there
are any traces of Nadine.
466
00:27:26,655 --> 00:27:32,060
I believed in my heart that
Steven Laffin was responsible
467
00:27:32,094 --> 00:27:34,262
for Nadine's disappearance.
468
00:27:34,296 --> 00:27:36,898
What I didn't know is, is
it possible at this point
469
00:27:36,932 --> 00:27:39,167
that Nadine may still be alive?
470
00:27:39,201 --> 00:27:41,035
I was going to do whatever I had to
471
00:27:41,070 --> 00:27:43,938
to make sure that we worked as
quickly as we possibly could.
472
00:27:43,973 --> 00:27:45,707
We've recovered DNA from the trunk.
473
00:27:45,741 --> 00:27:46,741
Mary's?
474
00:27:46,776 --> 00:27:49,010
Mostly. Some was Laffin's.
475
00:27:49,044 --> 00:27:50,879
Any unknown DNA?
476
00:27:50,913 --> 00:27:53,515
As far as we can tell, Nadine
Taylor never was in this car.
477
00:27:56,485 --> 00:27:57,807
OK, thanks.
478
00:27:57,808 --> 00:27:59,201
Yeah.
479
00:28:00,322 --> 00:28:04,359
And we had quite a few people
who were very much convinced
480
00:28:04,393 --> 00:28:08,530
at that time that Steven Laffin
was the person responsible
481
00:28:08,564 --> 00:28:11,166
for Nadine Taylor's disappearance.
482
00:28:13,769 --> 00:28:17,839
However, Steven Laffin's
car tested negative
483
00:28:17,873 --> 00:28:20,074
for Nadine's DNA.
484
00:28:20,109 --> 00:28:22,811
There could be somebody
else responsible.
485
00:28:22,845 --> 00:28:24,445
All right.
486
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,547
We need to reset.
487
00:28:25,581 --> 00:28:27,382
Where are we?
488
00:28:27,416 --> 00:28:30,919
Gene was the last
person to see her alive.
489
00:28:30,953 --> 00:28:32,887
Took him three days
to call it in, though.
490
00:28:32,922 --> 00:28:35,156
Could be she cut and
run from a bad relationship
491
00:28:35,191 --> 00:28:36,524
and left him behind.
492
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:38,793
Or maybe she tried to
and he didn't like that.
493
00:28:40,162 --> 00:28:41,896
Jack's a dead lead.
494
00:28:41,931 --> 00:28:45,500
We need to keep looking for him,
sending out emails and flyers.
495
00:28:45,534 --> 00:28:49,771
But we know he exists,
and we know he's violent.
496
00:28:49,805 --> 00:28:51,139
Maybe he came back for her?
497
00:28:51,173 --> 00:28:53,975
Hm. Robert Turner. A regular client.
498
00:28:54,009 --> 00:28:56,077
Acts like he and Nadine
have something special.
499
00:28:56,111 --> 00:28:57,912
Could be he wasn't
happy when he found out
500
00:28:57,947 --> 00:28:59,480
she didn't feel the same way.
501
00:28:59,515 --> 00:29:00,949
It's not a lot to go on.
502
00:29:00,983 --> 00:29:03,351
Mm mm. And then there's Laffin.
503
00:29:03,385 --> 00:29:05,153
We know he likes to hurt women.
504
00:29:05,187 --> 00:29:08,790
Take them, tie them up, keep
them for who knows how long.
505
00:29:08,824 --> 00:29:12,069
Didn't Laffin say his wife's
bachelorette was on the night
506
00:29:12,070 --> 00:29:14,028
of the 28th, the night
Nadien disappeared?
507
00:29:14,063 --> 00:29:16,998
Yeah.
508
00:29:17,032 --> 00:29:19,033
Well, my guess is he's
not the type of guy
509
00:29:19,068 --> 00:29:21,970
who wants to be home alone.
510
00:29:22,004 --> 00:29:24,606
We need to track his movements.
511
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,841
What about his cell?
512
00:29:26,876 --> 00:29:29,077
Maybe he called someone.
513
00:29:29,111 --> 00:29:30,879
We could see which towers he pinged.
514
00:29:30,913 --> 00:29:32,947
Maybe get a location on him that night.
515
00:29:42,558 --> 00:29:44,926
Hey. Have the Laffin
records come in yet?
516
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,461
Just the call logs.
517
00:29:46,495 --> 00:29:48,396
Show me the night of the 28th.
518
00:29:52,234 --> 00:29:54,636
What's this number here?
519
00:29:54,670 --> 00:29:56,504
His wife.
520
00:29:56,538 --> 00:30:00,875
What about this one, at 11:23 PM?
521
00:30:00,910 --> 00:30:01,943
Don't know.
522
00:30:01,977 --> 00:30:03,411
Another cell.
523
00:30:03,445 --> 00:30:04,879
Is that a number he's called before?
524
00:30:07,950 --> 00:30:09,250
Doesn't look like it.
525
00:30:09,285 --> 00:30:10,752
Short call.
526
00:30:10,786 --> 00:30:12,353
Worth checking out.
527
00:30:12,388 --> 00:30:14,756
Can you get me a name and
address on that number?
528
00:30:18,027 --> 00:30:21,996
We discovered that a phone call was made
529
00:30:22,031 --> 00:30:26,634
from Steven Laffin's phone
to Nadine's drug dealer.
530
00:30:39,381 --> 00:30:40,882
Police. Open up.
531
00:30:42,518 --> 00:30:45,486
It's not a bust, I just want to talk.
532
00:30:45,521 --> 00:30:49,023
Do you know a Steven Laffin?
533
00:30:49,058 --> 00:30:51,459
Come on. I don't want to take
this down to the station.
534
00:30:55,264 --> 00:30:56,831
I don't know any Steve's.
535
00:30:56,865 --> 00:31:00,168
OK, what about Nadine Taylor?
536
00:31:00,202 --> 00:31:01,936
When was the last time you saw her?
537
00:31:03,672 --> 00:31:05,440
Look, what's this about?
538
00:31:05,474 --> 00:31:07,308
It's a homicide investigation.
539
00:31:07,343 --> 00:31:09,053
OK, look, I got nothing to do
540
00:31:09,054 --> 00:31:11,779
- with whatever she's done or gonna do.
- I know! Listen. Listen.
541
00:31:11,814 --> 00:31:15,483
I just need to find out where
she went, and who she was with.
542
00:31:15,517 --> 00:31:17,418
And it's a conversation
I'd rather have here
543
00:31:17,453 --> 00:31:19,654
instead of down at the station.
You know what I mean?
544
00:31:23,425 --> 00:31:25,360
All right, look, I saw
her three weeks ago.
545
00:31:26,962 --> 00:31:29,130
All right? She called
me and she came by.
546
00:31:29,164 --> 00:31:30,398
Alone?
547
00:31:30,432 --> 00:31:31,566
Someone drove her.
548
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,401
- Who was driving?
- I don't know.
549
00:31:33,435 --> 00:31:36,671
What kind of car?
550
00:31:36,705 --> 00:31:38,272
It was a silver SUV.
551
00:31:38,307 --> 00:31:40,174
An SUV? Are you sure?
552
00:31:40,209 --> 00:31:41,342
It wasn't a sedan, four-door?
553
00:31:41,377 --> 00:31:42,543
Yeah, I'm sure.
554
00:31:42,578 --> 00:31:44,278
It was a silver SUV.
555
00:31:44,313 --> 00:31:46,114
Look, I remember, the damn
thing looked brand new.
556
00:31:46,148 --> 00:31:48,583
There's not a lot of cars like
that around here, you know.
557
00:31:50,185 --> 00:31:52,186
Look, that's all I know.
558
00:31:52,221 --> 00:31:54,322
We're good?
559
00:31:54,356 --> 00:31:55,623
Yeah, we're good.
560
00:32:01,930 --> 00:32:04,098
So there's no record
of Laffin in an SUV?
561
00:32:08,370 --> 00:32:10,071
In his file there was
something about him
562
00:32:10,105 --> 00:32:12,040
being in a car accident.
563
00:32:12,074 --> 00:32:13,508
What was the date on that?
564
00:32:19,982 --> 00:32:22,316
Bingo!
565
00:32:22,351 --> 00:32:25,653
Steven Laffin had been involved
in a motor vehicle accident,
566
00:32:25,687 --> 00:32:30,391
he destroyed his own vehicle and
therefore had a rental vehicle,
567
00:32:30,426 --> 00:32:34,729
which was around the time that
Nadine Taylor had gone missing.
568
00:32:34,763 --> 00:32:39,300
Laffin, Laffin... yeah.
An SUV. Brand new.
569
00:32:39,334 --> 00:32:40,568
A silver SUV?
570
00:32:40,602 --> 00:32:44,005
Uh... yup. Silver.
571
00:32:44,039 --> 00:32:45,973
Can we see it?
572
00:32:46,008 --> 00:32:47,208
I'm afraid it's rented out.
573
00:32:47,242 --> 00:32:48,910
Well, we need it back.
574
00:32:48,944 --> 00:32:50,812
Now.
575
00:32:50,846 --> 00:32:53,081
If we could find
something in the rental,
576
00:32:53,115 --> 00:32:55,917
that would give us enough
evidence to get a search warrant
577
00:32:55,951 --> 00:32:57,785
to search Laffin's house.
578
00:33:11,233 --> 00:33:12,133
What is it?
579
00:33:13,635 --> 00:33:14,602
Blood.
580
00:33:14,636 --> 00:33:15,636
A lot of it.
581
00:33:31,688 --> 00:33:37,493
We found a substantial amount
of blood DNA evidence
582
00:33:37,527 --> 00:33:39,495
in the back of the SUV.
583
00:33:39,529 --> 00:33:42,998
It turned out to be Nadine's.
584
00:33:43,033 --> 00:33:45,868
That was enough to write a
search warrant to let us into
585
00:33:45,902 --> 00:33:47,636
Steven Laffin's house.
586
00:33:50,807 --> 00:33:53,876
Do you have any idea how
long this is going to take?
587
00:33:53,910 --> 00:33:55,711
I can't believe this is happening.
588
00:33:55,745 --> 00:33:57,246
Well, we want to be thorough.
589
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,448
We just need to figure
out what happened.
590
00:34:01,885 --> 00:34:04,086
He's a good man.
591
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,955
Whatever you think Steven did,
it's, it's just a mistake.
592
00:34:06,990 --> 00:34:08,624
It's just a mistake. It has to be.
593
00:34:08,658 --> 00:34:10,726
Please, it has to be.
594
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:11,895
Hart?
595
00:34:15,265 --> 00:34:17,466
The amount of blood in the
back of the vehicle
596
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:21,036
wouldn't conclusively mean
that that person was deceased.
597
00:34:21,071 --> 00:34:26,375
Perhaps Nadine had survived
whatever violent situation she
598
00:34:26,409 --> 00:34:31,046
had encountered, and perhaps she
was somewhere in need of help.
599
00:34:31,081 --> 00:34:32,648
There's quite a bit of blood...
600
00:34:32,682 --> 00:34:34,550
all over.
601
00:34:34,584 --> 00:34:36,518
Most of it looks like
it's been wiped up.
602
00:34:36,553 --> 00:34:39,188
No-no-no, that's
that's just Steven's blood.
603
00:34:39,222 --> 00:34:41,357
From the robbery.
604
00:34:41,391 --> 00:34:43,325
What?
605
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,027
Steven didn't tell you?
606
00:34:45,061 --> 00:34:47,563
What happened?
607
00:34:47,597 --> 00:34:52,201
Well, he-he he was in the
driveway and a couple of guys
608
00:34:52,235 --> 00:34:54,536
walked up, they wanted
the keys to the car,
609
00:34:54,571 --> 00:34:58,440
so they hit him on the head,
and then he ran back inside.
610
00:34:58,475 --> 00:35:00,676
When I got home, I
helped him clean it up.
611
00:35:00,710 --> 00:35:02,911
Why didn't you call the police?
612
00:35:02,946 --> 00:35:05,180
We had our wedding coming up,
people visiting the next day.
613
00:35:05,215 --> 00:35:08,117
We just we just wanted
to clean and move on.
614
00:35:08,151 --> 00:35:10,386
When was this?
615
00:35:10,420 --> 00:35:12,020
Um, the night...
616
00:35:12,055 --> 00:35:13,088
the night of my bachelorette.
617
00:35:13,123 --> 00:35:14,490
The twenty, the 28th.
618
00:35:14,524 --> 00:35:17,593
The night Nadine Taylor disappeared.
619
00:35:17,627 --> 00:35:19,261
Wait outside, please, Joanna.
620
00:35:23,833 --> 00:35:27,870
I don't think she believed
his robbery story.
621
00:35:27,904 --> 00:35:30,639
I also don't believe
that she had any idea
622
00:35:30,673 --> 00:35:32,274
of what was going on.
623
00:35:45,021 --> 00:35:45,954
Can I see?
624
00:36:02,272 --> 00:36:08,310
I asked the blood spatter expert
if the victim could be alive,
625
00:36:08,344 --> 00:36:11,847
and he said absolutely not.
626
00:36:11,881 --> 00:36:13,615
I'm sorry.
627
00:36:19,055 --> 00:36:23,325
At that moment, I knew Nadine was dead.
628
00:36:23,359 --> 00:36:26,862
Now we would be searching
for Nadine's remains,
629
00:36:26,896 --> 00:36:30,866
and not for Nadine as a living person.
630
00:36:33,206 --> 00:36:35,949
Sources confirm to CBC that police
631
00:36:35,950 --> 00:36:39,120
have found shoes that don't
belong to Laffin's wife.
632
00:36:40,451 --> 00:36:43,837
Forensic investigators
had been inside the bungalow
633
00:36:43,838 --> 00:36:45,029
Everyone, including
police and neighbours
634
00:36:45,030 --> 00:36:47,249
have more questions than
answers about what evidence
635
00:36:47,283 --> 00:36:49,785
may be found as police don sterile suits
636
00:36:49,819 --> 00:36:52,488
so that any potential clues
are not contaminated.
637
00:36:52,522 --> 00:36:54,490
Investigators have been
doing a detailed search
638
00:36:54,524 --> 00:36:56,258
inside the house.
639
00:36:56,292 --> 00:36:59,428
Police say their investigation
is a work in progress,
640
00:36:59,462 --> 00:37:01,230
and they'll be here as long as it takes
641
00:37:01,264 --> 00:37:04,299
to find out what they want to know.
642
00:37:04,334 --> 00:37:07,536
The DNA analysis confirmed
that it was Nadine's blood
643
00:37:07,570 --> 00:37:09,271
in that basement.
644
00:37:09,305 --> 00:37:14,243
Nadine died a horrific death.
645
00:37:22,151 --> 00:37:23,719
- We got him.
- I know.
646
00:37:23,753 --> 00:37:26,054
As soon as he heard about
the warrant, he confessed.
647
00:37:36,766 --> 00:37:40,002
Self-defence? Is this a joke?
648
00:37:40,036 --> 00:37:42,971
She was high, she was
going crazy in my basement.
649
00:37:43,006 --> 00:37:44,206
- Yeah. No.
- She grabbed a hammer...
650
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:45,140
Please! Please.
651
00:37:45,174 --> 00:37:48,377
You've tried this lie on us before.
652
00:37:48,411 --> 00:37:50,479
Doesn't it matter to you?
653
00:37:50,513 --> 00:37:53,815
What you're doing to these women?
654
00:37:53,850 --> 00:37:56,685
To their families?
655
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,021
What about your wife, does she matter?
656
00:37:59,055 --> 00:38:01,590
I would definitely call
Steven Laffin a liar.
657
00:38:01,624 --> 00:38:06,328
Even when he's confessing,
he's still lying at that point.
658
00:38:06,362 --> 00:38:08,664
As if anybodis going
to believe this story.
659
00:38:19,142 --> 00:38:21,043
36-year-old Steven Laffin
660
00:38:21,077 --> 00:38:22,711
had to face a judge.
661
00:38:22,745 --> 00:38:25,347
His first court appearance
on a charge of murdering
662
00:38:25,381 --> 00:38:28,984
Nadine Taylor, a 29-year-old
Halifax woman.
663
00:38:29,018 --> 00:38:31,987
Taylor's family cried
and glared at the man...
664
00:38:32,021 --> 00:38:33,822
There was still lots
of blood left everywhere.
665
00:38:33,856 --> 00:38:35,657
Uh, there was uh, blood
on the murder weapons,
666
00:38:35,692 --> 00:38:36,792
blood all over the floor.
667
00:38:36,826 --> 00:38:39,661
Um, it was a clear brutal homicide.
668
00:38:39,696 --> 00:38:41,463
There may never be true peace
669
00:38:41,497 --> 00:38:43,632
for the family of Nadine Taylor.
670
00:38:43,666 --> 00:38:47,202
But with her killer's guilty
plea, they're closer to justice.
671
00:38:47,236 --> 00:38:49,438
Taylor was 29 years old.
672
00:38:49,472 --> 00:38:51,506
Steven Laffin must serve at
least 13 years in prison
673
00:38:51,541 --> 00:38:53,609
before he can even begin
applying for parole.
674
00:38:53,643 --> 00:38:55,077
The guilty plea to second degree murder
675
00:38:55,111 --> 00:38:57,045
comes with an automatic life sentence.
676
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,081
Now all that's left for
the court to decide...
677
00:38:59,115 --> 00:39:01,083
Both the judge and Crown
question whether a parole board
678
00:39:01,117 --> 00:39:03,218
would even consider
releasing him at that time.
679
00:39:05,521 --> 00:39:08,156
Mr. Laffin, what do you have
to say about the charges...
680
00:39:08,191 --> 00:39:09,291
Are you sorry?
681
00:39:09,325 --> 00:39:10,892
What do you have to say for yourself?
682
00:39:26,576 --> 00:39:28,610
Laffin pled guilty.
683
00:39:28,645 --> 00:39:30,379
Second degree murder.
684
00:39:30,413 --> 00:39:32,748
Over there.
685
00:39:32,782 --> 00:39:36,218
As part of his plea agreement,
he had to tell Crown prosecutors
686
00:39:36,252 --> 00:39:39,054
where he put Nadine's remains.
687
00:39:47,330 --> 00:39:52,901
To lose a child by violent means
and then to not be able to have
688
00:39:52,935 --> 00:39:57,873
closure by giving them a proper
burial, it would be horrible.
689
00:40:05,248 --> 00:40:10,367
I told Nadine's mom when
we found Nadine's remains.
690
00:40:12,188 --> 00:40:13,321
I went to see her.
691
00:40:18,428 --> 00:40:21,697
That's not a call that
you make over the phone.
692
00:40:28,705 --> 00:40:31,573
Nadine laughed, she cried,
693
00:40:31,607 --> 00:40:37,279
she had goals and dreams
like everybody else.
694
00:40:37,313 --> 00:40:40,549
She didn't get up in the morning
and hope that she would be
695
00:40:40,583 --> 00:40:43,552
addicted to drugs and be
working in the sex trade.
696
00:40:49,659 --> 00:40:51,059
You could see it in her eyes.
697
00:40:51,094 --> 00:40:53,195
You could see the...
698
00:40:53,229 --> 00:40:55,597
zest for life in her eyes.
699
00:41:10,012 --> 00:41:16,485
He beat her, hit her with an axe.
700
00:41:16,519 --> 00:41:19,788
He banged her head off
the concrete floor
701
00:41:19,822 --> 00:41:25,160
until such time that she stopped moving.
702
00:41:25,194 --> 00:41:29,164
He then wrapped her in a
sheet and took her out
703
00:41:29,198 --> 00:41:33,319
and put her in the back
of the rental SUV.
704
00:41:36,672 --> 00:41:39,875
