On Dec. 9, 1994, the same day she disappeared, Alisha (Leah) Germaine's body was found behind an elementary school on the outskirts of the city, not far from Highway 16. She died of multiple stab wounds.

Leah's aunt, Connie Menton, said Leah was born in Prince George. "She loved to sing and act ... Out of all my nieces and nephews, she was the most affectionate," Menton said.

Leah's behaviour worsened when her parents separated when she was about 14.

Relatives tried to get Leah off the streets, but she was strong-willed and didn't like authority figures.

"She had potential. We all make mistakes, but it didn't mean that mistake would be carried into her adult years," her aunt said. Menton believes Leah and Roxanne Thiara were friends and that their cases may be connected.

"She and Roxanne worked together, and Roxanne was trying to get off the streets, too," Menton said. She believes people on the street have information about her niece's case but are afraid to come forward.

I recently came across this article about a kidnapping survivor from the Highway of Tears. She was good friends with both Roxanne and Leah, who were both murdered and found on the Highway in 94. This kidnapping case was a couple of years earlier but she kind of fits the same victim profile as a couple of the others in the area. It would be interesting to know her story. I haven't found anything so far in that regards though. Has anyone else found anything about her story? I would be curious to know if there were any similarities to some of the others.
Figured I would post this here as the victim was friends with Alisha as well.
