## Resource

In 1995 a small community in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley was rocked by the brutal attack on two teenage girls by a mysterious man armed with a bat. Misty Cockerill escaped but her friend Tanya Smith was found dead the next morning in a nearby river. Over the next seven months the killer led police on a wild game of cat and mouse as he taunted them with phone calls and other disturbing messages. In this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the hunt for the Abbotsford Killer.
