15 murders and counting in a small B.C. town | Full episode | the fifth estate

Video Description

Residents in Dawson Creek, B.C., feel besieged by violence. The RCMP failed to meet its own deadline for arrests; we return to investigate yet more killings and reveal what is behind this crime wave. CORRECTION (Nov. 6, 2025): An earlier version of this video said Kelly Schmidt died of a drug overdose. In fact, newly acquired information has revealed Schmidt died of bronchial asthma. This video has been edited to remove those references. #CBC #TheFifthEstate #Documentary 00:00 - the fifth estate returns to Dawson Creek, B.C. 04:26 - Dawson’s trail of death 11:54 - A deadly chain of events 22:05 - Murder strikes Dawson again 30:57 - Following a new lead Subscribe for more videos from The Fifth Estate: http://bit.ly/25W8cpn Connect with The Fifth Estate online: Website : http://bit.ly/1d0FBxq Instagram : http://bit.ly/25W8SLs For more than five decades, the fifth estate has been Canada's premier investigative documentary program.
