British Columbia woman’s disappearance 35 years ago kicks off season three of Tracking a Killer: The Cold Case Files

The Hunt for a Killer: The Cold Case Files returns for a third season with 680’s Fil Martino and Rogers TV Barrie’s Madison Fitzpatrick shedding light on unsolved cases.

The first case of the season involves the unsolved murder of Alberta Williams, 24, of Vancouver, British Columbia. She disappeared in August 1989 after going out with friends to a bar in Prince Rupert, a port city on British Columbia’s northwest coast where she did seasonal work.

Williams’ body was found on Highway 16 three weeks after she disappeared. That’s when a missing person’s case turned into a homicide. More than 30 years have passed and, to this day, no charges have been filed in connection with his murder.

RCMP Constable. Wayne Clary is one of the investigators on this decades-old case. He says they focused on a male relative of Williams.

“And probably rightly so, but there are still many, many interesting people we’ve looked at so far. We are getting advice from various people to follow,” said Cst. Clary.

Williams’ sister, Claudia Williams, says she wants justice for her sister.

“For my part, we were raised to do the right thing. If I see someone doing something wrong, I immediately dial 911 on my cell phone. You know, it’s just me. Same thing with Alberta. There are people who were in Alberta that evening and who know what happened.

Police are asking anyone with information about this case to call them.
