I still have two other children who miss their sister very much. Its More the Way she died. Its hard to lose a child or loved one but the Way in which she was taken. I knew something was wrong but i did not have the Money to come Over and get her again from the downtown Eastside. I came and got her three times. I wanted to come Back but i afford it. Relatives and friends cried trembled and held each other while listening to the song which listed the names of the 65 missing women including the six Pickton was convicted sunday of murdering Joesbury Mona Wilson Brenda Wolfe Georgina Papin Sereena Abo Tsway and Marnie Frey.

Rick Frey father of missing woman Marnie Frey questioned Why police did not catch Pickton sooner or respond More quickly to the women disappearing from the downtown Eastside. This cant go on. Go to the Eastend now and its still the same thing. Its appalling. Theress still people suffering said Frey who added he would like to see a Public inquiry into the Case. Frey said he was worried the jury return a guilty verdict on his daughter who disappeared in 1997 and who had the least amount of evidence found on the farm. Were extremely fortunate we got a guilty verdict out of that Frey said. Just minutes before a verdict was announced relatives of the native victims invited non native families to a Healing ceremony outside the courthouse. A lot of us families have been kind of segregated and we All got together and that was it. And then the verdict is coming Down.
