Synopsis
Read case story
Mindy Tran was an eight-year-old girl from Kelowna, British Columbia, who disappeared on August 17, 1994, while riding her bike near her home. Her body was found six weeks later in a shallow grave in a nearby park, sparking a high-profile murder investigation. A neighbour, Shannon Murrin, was charged but later acquitted, and controversy surrounded the trial after it was revealed that a juror had developed a relationship with him. Decades later, Mindy's case remains officially unsolved, with her family still seeking justice and closure. To those closest to Mindy, time has not brought peace. As her aunt, Kim Tran, once said during a memorial service, "There is no closure. Closure is a word people use, but we don’t have that."
