Father of Manitoba woman believed murdered wants killer to say where body is
WINNIPEG — The parents of a woman who disappeared last summer fought back tears Wednesday as they stood before the house where police believe she was murdered.
George and Melinda Wood bowed their heads as a pastor led them in prayer, surrounded by a few hundred people who took part in a ceremony that has become familiar — a vigil for a missing and murdered aboriginal woman.
“It’s been a long seven and a half months that we’ve been searching for our daughter, but this is not what we hoped for,” George Wood told reporters a few minutes earlier at a nearby church where supporters gathered.
“The hardest part is, there’s no comfort yet, there’s no body.”
