As the hours turned into days, family and friends grew increasingly worried. It was uncharacteristic for either girl to be out of contact for so long.
The Discovery
On October 24, the body of Carol Stonechild was discovered by a passerby along Highway 11, approximately 23 kilometers east of Saskatoon. Hours later, the body of Ramona Rouleau was found nearby. Both women had been brutally murdered.
The discovery of their bodies sent shockwaves through the community. The murders were not only senseless but also eerily reminiscent of other cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women in the area.
The Investigation
The police launched a massive investigation, but despite their best efforts, the case quickly went cold. There were no witnesses to the murders, and very little physical evidence was recovered. Over the years, several suspects were questioned, but no charges were ever laid.
The Lingering Questions
The Closing Time Murders have haunted the Stonechild and Rouleau families for decades. The lack of answers has only deepened their pain and frustration.
Among the many questions that remain unanswered are:
- Who killed Carol Stonechild and Ramona Rouleau?
- Why were they targeted?
- Were there any witnesses to the murders?
- Was there a cover-up involved?
The Impact
The Closing Time Murders have had a profound impact on the Indigenous community in Saskatchewan. The case is a tragic reminder of the violence and injustice that Indigenous women face. It has also highlighted the systemic failures in the justice system that have allowed so many cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women to go unsolved.
The Calls for Justice
In recent years, there has been growing pressure on the government and law enforcement to do more to address the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has called for an inquiry into the issue, and several organizations have launched their own investigations.
The families of Carol Stonechild and Ramona Rouleau continue to hold out hope that one day they will get the answers they deserve. They will never give up fighting for justice for their loved ones.
The Closing Time Murders are a complex and tragic case that has left a lasting scar on the community. The unsolved murders of Carol Stonechild and Ramona Rouleau are a stark reminder of the systemic racism and violence that Indigenous women face in Canada. The case has highlighted the need for a more just and equitable society, where all women are safe and respected.
We must never forget the victims of the Closing Time Murders. We must continue to fight for justice for Carol Stonechild, Ramona Rouleau, and the countless other missing and murdered Indigenous women whose cases remain unsolved.
