For Levina Moody, a young woman from Bella Coola, a trip to Williams Lake, just off Highway 97, was an exciting diversion from small-town life.

But what started as a weekend adventure with her parents and her brother Dave ended with a horrific killing that remains unsolved 40 years later.

...

"She was a really very happy person, very fun-loving and always trying to help people.

She basically cared for us, me and my younger sisters, while my mother worked," Levina's brother Dave Moody said in a recent interview.

"I never saw her in a sad moment. She trusted everybody. That was her problem. She never really feared anybody," he added.

In Williams Lake that Saturday night, Dave and Levina went drinking in the Lakeview, Maple Leaf and Ranch Hotel beer parlours.

When Dave returned to his hotel room, he thought Levina was right behind him. "I don't know what happened after that," he said.

The next morning, her body was found by two hunters on a cattle trail about 10 km west of Williams Lake.

Levina had been beaten, sexually assaulted, and bled to death from her injuries. She was found nude, her clothes discarded nearby.

"VANCOUVER — The Mountie overseeing the investigation into the murders and disappearances of women and girls along British Columbia's so-called Highway of Tears says his officers have a number of "strong suspects," but they have yet to uncover enough evidence to lay charges nearly two years after the last major break in the case".

"A 2009 Vancouver Sun investigation by reporters Lori Culbert and Neal Hall reveals the full story behind the Highway of Tears victims and raises questions about other similar unsolved cases in B.C. and Alberta. The cases date back to the murder of Gloria Levina Moody in 1969 and end with the murder of a 14-year-old Prince George high school student in 2006.

''On their way from Bella Coola, the family stopped at a café and bar in Anahim Lake called the Frontier Inn. “Levina was teaching me how to play shuffleboard,” Al says. While they played the game, the family noticed a man was ogling Levina and that it was making her uncomfortable. She became so ill at ease that Al asked the man why he was staring, to which he replied that it was because Levina was so beautiful. They eventually left, and when the family arrived in Williams Lake later that day, they checked into the Ranch Hotel for the weekend.
On Saturday, the last night of their stay in the Lake, Levina and her brother went out to the Lakeview pub to relax and grab a drink. Newspaper reports from the time mention that it was a “pay weekend,” as there was a big livestock sale in town, with hotels and bars packed.
Levina Moody failed to return to the hotel that night.''
The family notified the RCMP that same night that she had gone missing, but before a report could even be properly filed, they discovered the worst. The next morning, on Sunday, hunters found Levina’s naked body on a trail about 7 miles west of Williams Lake, according to an RCMP report from the time. She had last been seen wearing a navy-blue coat and a yellow shift dress with green and blue flowers. The report goes on to say she was brutally murdered and bled to death after being beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted—in part with a tree branch. ''
