I finally had the chance to sit down and watch the Web of Death episode today. What a tearjerker! Beautifully done. Violet Soosay (Shirley Soosay's niece) and her daughter, Justice, heavily featured in it and discussed their story of bringing Shirley home. Violet has been a great advocate for Shirley as well as a speaker for the MMIW movement (missing and murdered indigenous woman) as a whole. Of course, Det. Rhods was there to advocate for Lyra Jade, as he has for many years now! You can tell he truly cares about these cases and is doing what he can to bring her home.
One thing that has been new resulting from this episode has been the releasing of crime scene photos from both Shirley and Lyra Jade's murders that have not been publicly released, at least to where I could see them and I consider myself well-acquainted with both cases, especially Lyra Jade's. So this was my first time seeing them. They were tragic, and both women's crime scene photos were graphic and horrible, although the blood was sort of blurred out and sensitive body parts were as well. One of Lyra Jade's crime scene photos showed multiple stab wounds on one of her arms, with one in particular being very large. It was tough to see and to think of how much she suffered.
One thing that I took note of with this episode is Det. Rhods described her as being around 3 mos. pregnant. I believe this is different from the previous statements but I could be mistaken, I believe she was previously described as being 4-5 mos. pregnant? Someone please correct me if I'm misremembering.
Time to head over to Shirley's thread now to debrief...
