In May 1962, 23-year-old Alexandra Wiwcharuk, a celebrated nurse and beauty pageant winner in Saskatoon, vanished after a brief outing by the South Saskatchewan River. Two weeks later, her battered body was found in a shallow grave near where she was last seen, suffocated and buried alive—a crime that shocked the city. Despite decades of investigations, DNA advances, and renewed appeals for public tips, her murder remains unsolved.
