Published: Feb. 28, 2022, 8 a.m.

Episode 209: Daleen Kay Bosse, was a 26-year-old, wife and mother of Cree heritage and member of the Onion Lake First Nation in Saskatchewan near Saskatoon. On May 18, 2004, after a night out with friends Daleen did not return home. Her family grew worried. When she still hadn\u2019t come home the next day Jeremiah, Daleen\u2019s husband, contacted police, who, initially did not respond with much enthusiasm, telling Jeremiah and Daleen\u2019s concerned parents to wait; that she would probably either come home or check in soon. Daleen\u2019s family organized searches themselves and two weeks later Daleen\u2019s car was found abandoned, but there was no sign of the missing woman. It would be more than four years later that Daleen\u2019s family would find out what had happened to their missing loved one. Daleen had been murdered by a man named Douglas Richard Hales, who, during a Mr. Big sting, had admitted to killing the woman and the led police to Daleen\u2019s charred remains.\nSources:\nOnion Lake \u2013 Cree Nation\nThe Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan | Details \u2014 Treaty 6\nThe Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan | Details \u2014 Frog Lake Massacre\nFrog Lake Massacre - Wikipedia\nSACP | Missing Persons Database\nDaleen Bosse Obituary (2008) - Saskatoon StarPhoenix\nNWAC - Daleen\u2019s Story\nFamily hires investigator to help locate daughter\nMMIWG & Violence Prevention \u2022 Native Women\u2019s Association of Canada\nHome Page - Final Report | MMIWG\nR v Hales, 2014 SKQB 411 (CanLII), < https://canlii.ca/t/gfrdx >\nHighlights from the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, 2015 | CanLII\nMan says he killed woman because she laughed when he couldn\u2019t perform sexually | Philippine Canadian Inquirer\nDouglas Hales guilty of 2nd degree murder of Daleen Bosse | CBC News\nGUILTY - Canada - Daleen Bosse, 26, Saskatoon, Sask, 18 May 2004\nMuskego Family Gets Some Closure - First Nations Drum Newspaper\nMother recalls trauma of daughter\u2019s disappearance, murder\nDaleen Bosse | News, Videos & Articles\nKristen Gilchrist (2010) \u201cNewsworthy\u201d Victims?, Feminist Media Studies, https://doi.org/10.1080/14680777.2010.514110\nThe Different Stories of Cree Woman, Daleen Kay Bosse (Muskego) and Dakota-Sioux Woman, Amber Tara-Lynn Redman: Understanding Their Disappearances and Murders through Media Re-Presentations and Family Members\u2019 Narratives\nNews camera allowed in Saskatchewan court for first time - J-Source\nSaskatchewan man found guilty of killing Onion Lake Cree Nation woman, 25 - APTN News\nKarina Wolfe case echoes Daleen Bosse murder | 650 CKOM\nFinding Dawn by Christine Welsh - NFB\nDouglas Hales\u2019 appeal decision, Nov 23 2015 \u2014 YouTube\nHales appeal dismissed. - Free Online Library\nTasha Beeds \u2013 Walking With Our Sisters\n2021 National Action Plan\nHome \u2022 National Family and Survivors Circle\nSupport the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine\nLearn more about your ad choices.
