Denean Worms (19) and Brenda Hughes (22) were two Indigenous women whose bodies were found in 1987, just weeks apart. Both women had been violently assaulted and murdered, their deaths raising serious concerns about the safety of Indigenous women in the region. Despite public outcry and media attention, their cases remain unsolved. The murders of Denean and Brenda are often cited in discussions about the systemic neglect and violence faced by Indigenous women in Canada.
