The case of Amber Tuccaro is really creepy due to a phone recording of her in the car with the guy who is no doubt responsible for her disappearance. A lot of First Nations women have disappeared/been murdered in Canada over the years, especially around the "Highway of Tears" - a section of highway in British Columbia.
Tuccaro's case happened in Alberta however. She, her 14 month old son and a female friend were travelling to Edmonton. They didn't have much money, so decided to stay in a cheap hotel on the way. Tuccaro then decided to hitchhike the last 30 minutes into Edmonton and was never seen alive again.
However, it turns out that on her way to Edmonton, Amber had called her brother, who was in prison. As standard in these cases, the prison had recorded the phone call. Apparently 17 minutes were recorded but the RCMP have only release a minute of it so far. It seems like after her phone call to her brother she didn't hang the phone up but kept it going, maybe hoping he was listening in as she realised the guy she was with wasn't kosher?
The transcript of the released recording is as follows (link provided too, if you wish to listen):
Amber: Where are we by?
Unknown Male: We’re just heading south of uh, Beaumont or north of Beaumont.
Amber: We’re heading north of Beaumont…
Amber: Yo, where are we going?
Unknown Male: Just… (Inaudible)
Amber: No, this is a…
Unknown Male: (Inaudible)… The back roads.
Amber: Are you fucking kidding me?
Unknown Male: No, I’m not kidding you.
Amber: You better not take, you better not be taking me anywhere I don’t wanna go. I wanna go into the city, okay?
Unknown Male: One end of the street.
Amber: Yo, we’re not going into the city are we?
Unknown Male: We are. We’re going…
Amber: No, we’re not…
Unknown Male: Yes…
Amber: Then where the fuck are these roads going to?
Unknown Male: To 50th street.
Amber: 50th street? Are you sure?
Unknown Male: Absolutely.
Amber: Yo, where are we going?
Unknown Male: 50th street.
Amber: 50th street?
Unknown Male: 50th street.
Amber: East, right?
Unknown Male: East.
Amber: (Inaudible)… Over now.
Unknown Male: (Inaudible)… Gravel.
Amber: (Inaudible)
Her remains were eventually found 2 years later. People have come forward to say they recognised the male voice on the phone call but nothing has come of it so far.
There's something chilling to me about what I perceive is a change in his tone on the last "50th street" and then when he says: "East".
