Part 1 - Debra Entwistle

In March 1993, Debra Kayla Entwistle was weeks away from leaving Fort McMurray for good. She had spent years trying to escape a violent man, and she had finally done it. Her father had an apartment waiting for her in Vernon, British Columbia. She never made it.

On the morning of March 24th, her twelve-year-old daughter Stephanie left for school and made her mother's coffee before she went. When she came home at lunch, her mother was gone. What she found instead was a bloody crime scene that would change her life forever.

The murder of Debra Entwistle shocked Fort McMurray and became one of the most significant domestic violence cases in Alberta history. A city mourned. Hundreds took to the streets. And the investigation that followed would uncover a crime so brutal it made headlines across the Canada.

In Part One of this two-part true crime series, we speak with Debra's daughter Stephanie Billard and with Tammlyn Greening, one of Debra's closest friends. Together they paint a portrait of a vibrant, loving woman who spent years trying to escape an abusive relationship — and who came heartbreakingly close to making it out.

This episode contains detailed descriptions of intimate partner violence, domestic violence, murder, and dismemberment.

Part Two releases in two weeks.
