In September 2022 Vanessa Burns\u2019 partner Myles Sanderson became one of Canada\u2019s most infamous mass killers. He took 11 lives and injured 18 others on the James Smith Cree Nation and nearby town of Weldon Saskatchewan on the morning of September 4. Two of those lives he took were Vanessa\u2019s father Earl Burns Sr. and his own brother Damien Sanderson. Myles even tried to kill his own son and niece. After the killings he went on the run before being ran off the road by police 3 days later. Shortly after being captured he died of an intentional overdose.\nVanessa was kind enough to speak with me about her experience as a domestic abuse victim, what she went through that tragic day and the days following, as well as the complexity of grieving the loss of her partner, father of her children, her fathers killer and her abuser.\nMay the victims of this tragedy never be forgotten: Thomas Burns, Carol Burns, Gregory Burns, Lydia Gloria Burns, Bonnie Goodvoice-Burns, Lana Head, Christian Head, Robert Sanderson, Wesley Petterson and Earl Burns Sr. \nTopics in this episode include abuse, murder, suicide, addiction, generational trauma\n\nPlease consider buying me a coffee here!\xa0
