In July 2010, Nadine Anne Taylor, 29, vanished from her Halifax apartment after stepping out to use a payphone—a move that would lead into a chilling mystery. Days later, police began a large-scale search, and months later, suspect Steven Elliot Laffin led investigators to human remains in a wooded area outside the city. In 2013, he pled guilty to second-degree murder, earning an automatic life sentence—providing some closure to a case that shook the sex-worker community and exposed systemic gaps in missing persons investigations.
