Episode Notes

CTV News Vancouver — “Someone out there knows something: B.C. RCMP appeal for information in woman’s 1985 murder” Reporting on the renewed RCMP appeal, confirmation of homicide details, timeline, and police statements regarding the belief that someone still knows what happened.

Richmond News — “New appeal launched in 40-year-old Richmond, B.C., homicide” Local reporting providing case background, location details (7900-block of River Road), victim information, and context surrounding the January 2026 appeal.

In 1985, five members of a Quebec biker chapter were summoned to what sounded like a routine internal meeting in Lennoxville. They arrived expecting discipline or discussion. What happened instead was a planned internal purge—quiet, controlled, and final.

Episode 30 breaks down how leadership moved from correction to containment, what came out in court, who was charged, and why Lennoxville became a turning point that echoes later in Canadian biker violence—including parallels to the Shedden massacre.

On a November night in 1997, fourteen-year-old Reena Virk went to meet a group of teenagers near Craigflower Bridge in British Columbia. She never came home.

What followed was not a single moment of violence, but a slow escalation shaped by rumor, exclusion, group dynamics, and bystander silence. Dozens of people witnessed parts of what happened. Many assumed someone else would intervene. No one did.
