An absolute brilliant podcast. Sensitive, considerate, so determined to find the truth and get answers. No stone unturned. I loved it. I learned so much I didn't know, heartwrenching, disgusting government behaviour, the story of Alberta Williams and Finding Cleo. Riveting, spell binding, fascinating. I hope you receive or have received an award for these amazing productions. Thank you for enlightening me on history I never knew existed.
I feel like the story doesn't make sense. I would of looked more into it, especially the adopted brother and mother. The whole she threw his coat in the water and then shot herself seems like a story they made up to cover up what really happened.
Why Connie was the one telling Mark? Maybe because she was the one who found the sister. The other siblings had tried contacting him. Critisising her for telling Mark is just as logical as critisising her for telling any of the sibling, or giving them any information at all. They asked for her help!
God, a 24 year old talking and allegedly sleeping with a 13 year old. even worse he gets arrested at 34 for sleeping with another 13 year old. kills me that police didn't look into that man just in case he was with other little kids or if he had pictures on a phone or something. could've saved at least 1 little girl if they did it back then
"pointing to the back of the car". How dumb do you have to be to not get that she wants the license plate. If she understood that then this wouldve been over 30 years ago
I listened years ago and cleo's story still breaks my heart
What a story. Big shout out to Connie and all who investigated this case and doggedly pursued it to the end. The last scene with Christine at Cleo's grave was so moving. Thank you
Holy smoke! #WhereIsCleo & finding out about the young lady she was becoming. So heartbreaking.
Awe. Bless these siblings and their fortitude. It takes an immense amount of strength to live and pursue answers of these sorts. #WhereIsCleo
wow, what a podcast. I didn't know this, scoop 60. It's heartbreaking to hear about the fact that children taken away from their families! 🇭🇺 saskia from the Netherlands.
So incredibly sad what happened to Alberta Williams, she deserved much better & a full long life. RIP Alberta. Please if you have any info regarding this case come forward.
The brothers statement sounds really suspicious- he said that he was on the school bus and saw Cleo wearing his jacket and that when he got home she didn’t have it- so he went outside to look for it. He found it in the creek and then confronted her as to why she threw it in the creek. And he said he heard a bang and thought it was Cleo cleaning? Really? Have you heard a 38 go off? It doesn’t sound like someone cleaning, it sounds, unmistakeable, like a gun. Maybe his jacket was wet because he was washing blood off if. From his statement he went outside looking for his jacket, but it didn’t sound like he knew to look for it in the creek, he just happened to find it there? It doesn’t add up
This story broke my heart.
very badly edited; it makes it frustrating to listen to
getting an error that the source is broken.
Painfully beautiful series. I’m so sorry that this was and still is a reality. Thank you so much to the team and to Cleo’s family for telling this story. It was really well done. I learned so much.
Such a sad, and all too common story. Excellent work done by the reporter and her team. I'm always impressed with the CBC, I wish journalist in my country were of the same caliber.
when will the next season come out!
this is a very sad story and I feel for this little girl. I did not like the angle it was written from.
so it was just assumed she was raped and murdered?
