In September 1989, 19-year-old Valerie Stevens kissed her daughter goodnight and left their Toronto apartment for a night out. She never made it to the nightclubâand never came home. Three years later, Valerieâs remains were discovered in a wooded area near Brantford, Ontario. Her death was ruled a homicide, but the case remains unsolved to this day. In this episode, we speak with Valerieâs daughter, Robyn Stevens, who was just 16 months old when her mother vanished. Now a mother herself, Robyn shares her personal journeyâfrom the shocking revelation as a preteen that she had been adopted, to her ongoing efforts to uncover what really happened to her birth mother. With candor and resilience, Robyn reflects on identity, loss, and the enduring hope for justice.
