A quiet community two hours northwest of Edmonton became a site of true human horror last month when a young woman of only 18 — dressed for a night out in the city, not a weekend of camping — was found bleeding from numerous stab wounds in a ditch. Her attackers had dumped her there to die.

And because those accused of butchering her were under 18, there’s a good chance we’ll never get to learn their names, even if they are convicted.
