It was a warm Saturday in May. The kind of afternoon that feels like summer, even though summer hasn't officially arrived yet. The kind of afternoon that makes a twelve-year-old girl feel safe pedalling her bicycle along a familiar highway, heading home.

Her name was Monica Jack. And on May 6th, 1978, she left Merritt, British Columbia, and began riding north on Highway 5A — a two-lane road that hugs the eastern shore of Nicola Lake, a long, blue body of water nestled in the hills of the B.C. Interior, about three hours east of Vancouver.

She never made it home.  She fell victim to a serial rapist and murderer who had a penchant for young girls.

I'm your host Ryan Dell. This is Canadian CrimeCast: Coast to Coast true Crime

Today's story spans forty years, two provinces, a seventeen-year wait for remains to be found, and one of the most elaborate undercover police operations in Canadian history.

This is the story of Monica Jack.
