Daughter of murdered woman tells inquiry she fears becoming a statistic
HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, N.L. — An Indigenous Newfoundland woman whose mother was murdered in 2002 says she worries she will also become a statistic.
Amena Evans Harlick told her story to the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls during a hearing Thursday in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
Her mother, Mary Evans Harlick, was just 24 years old when she was strangled to death in 2002. Her body was put in a sleeping bag and left in a crawl space.
Harlick said she worries about the day when the man convicted of her mother’s second-degree murder is released.
