Episode 316: On January 18, 1987, 20-year-old University of Victoria student Marguerite Telesford disappeared during a morning jog in Saanich, British Columbia. Her bloody earmuffs, bloodstains, a discharged shotgun shell, and a pry bar were found, suggesting foul play, but her body was never located. In 1989, Scott Ian MacKay was convicted of second-degree murder concerning Telesford's death despite maintaining his innocence. MacKay had a history of violent assaults on women. Recently, after serving a life sentence, MacKay was controversially granted day parole, raising concerns from the community and victim advocates about public safety risks and his lack of remorse.\nSources:\nMarguerite Telesford - Mount Doug Alumni Association\nArchive dive: The 1987 murder of a UVic student who vanished on her morning run\nThe 35th Anniversary of the Saanich Indian Territorial Declaration\nNeighbourhood History Tillicum\n"Marguerite Telesford" - Search - Newspapers.com\u2122\n1988 CanLII 2888 (BC SC) | B.C.
