hey you and welcome my name is Mike and in this old video well you know it's Halloween or you know all of October is Halloween for me so this old story takes us to a haunting Night in Canada when a young woman was at walking to go trick or treating it was a night full of ghouls ghosts and goblins but as she was walking along a railroad track in a very dark and secluded area she would encounter something far more terrifying than she was expecting let's give it a goo it was October 31st which is scientifically the spookiest night of the year in the quiet Canadian city of Armstrong British Columbia Armstrong is a rural and sleepy town almost a five AR Drve Northeast of Vancouver sitting in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains it's it sits in this little Valley surrounded by the endless Hills and forests of the province it's farming it's logging and it's home to a little less than about 5,000 people one of them in 2011 was 18-year-old Taylor van deast and she was just brimming with excitement because it was Halloween that was her favorite time of the year this was a big one for her she had just graduated local high school a few months back something she had really succeeded at she was learning to drive and it was in that like transitional moment of her life you know she's just about to become an adult and go out there to explore the world part of her you know part part of you you know wants to stay at home with your family where it's safe and another part of you wants to get out there and see where the road takes you to explore the world and yourself so this particular Autumn and Taylor wasn't quite sure where the road would take her she didn't know what she wanted to do she was thinking this she was thinking that but this is the last fall season where you can do things you do as a kid kid so trick-or-treating was the plan something she hadn't done for years and it would be a bit of fun Taylor was someone who put maximum effort into things just like her Halloween costume that evening which was something she was debating as she posted on Facebook that day zombie or mother naturewood type look Taylor settled on zombie Taylor and her friend Zoe and Clay they were planning on going house to house for some sweets and then getting up to some creepy mischief and after Tri or-treating she would then meet up with her boyfriend Colton it was 5:45 p. m. on October 31st that Taylor left at home she shared with her mother Marie and her twin sister Kirsty she was on route to meet up with her friends and boyfriend and was taking a route she knew very well she was texting clay as she walked hero clay hurry Zoe Zoe is on her way we'll meet you at your place now Zoe was supposed to meet Taylor after at her place and then together the two of them would walk to Clay's but Taylor left her home before Zoe arrived I'm guessing she was just really eager to get out there and begin the night she was so excited so she began walking alone and probably just meet Zoe at Clay's house she left her home on Colony Avenue and walked up the few minutes along Pleasant Valley Road to rosale Avenue and then she began following the train tracks that cut through town still texting your friends along the way this was at about 6:00 p.
m. it was cold it was dark and the loons were out and about it was not long after that Taylor texted Colton something very short but very scary being creeped spelled like that which made it just all the more ominous as if she was so desperate to get the text out she didn't have time to correct herself Colton replied to her I got no response which was even more worrying because Taylor van was a texter that's when he began worrying and she'd been texting her friends all night but it suddenly stopped all of a sudden and so they began replying hey where are you you know we're here we're ready to go out nothing the replies were eerily quite it was about 2 hours later that another group of teens just so happened to be walking along those same railroad tracks and as they were walking what did I see there on the ground a phone buzzing exploding like crazy vibrating on those tracks making so much noise so they picted up seene that it was exploding with calls missed calls texts all that asking these texts were worrying where are you where are you are you okay this group then picked up the phone and they responded to the people who texting saying hey we fend this phone they responded to Taylor's friends and to her mother who had been alerted at this stage too they all raced to those railroad tracks and began looking around to see if they could they could find out what was going on and the police were alerted too now those railroad tracks were very dark and already dark night and on either side really take bushes and trees but they were all there walking along with their phones out flashlights out calling out for her hoping she would answer at approximately 8:45 they saw something in the bushes just about 10 ft off the railroad in the deep deep bushes going over they saw it was a young woman's body covered in blood and and most of that blood was not zombie makeup Taylor was semiconscious mumbling covered in blood she was alive but barely they placed jackets over her as they waited for the EMTs to arrive with her mother who was a care worker saying to Taylor who seemed to be slipping really really quickly saying fight it you're going to make it you're going to survive Taylor was rushed to a nearby hospital and it was found she had severe head trauma skull fractures and ligature marks around her neck she also had defensive wounds on her her nails had blood under them she she' fought off whoever whoever did this but she soon you know lost Consciousness she had to be intubated but the Damage Done to her her skull her brain was just too much and very early the next morning Taylor vanes passed away reing tonight after a young woman was discovered near the railway track she's died of her injuries and now a major investigation has been launched into this bizarre Halloween murder police now have a mystery on their hands now last night Taylor was supposed to meet up with someone and when she failed to show police were called they were joined by friends and family in the search and along the railway line that is sometimes used as a shortcut here and that's where they found Taylor severely injured her twin sister wrote on Facebook that she was suffering from severe head trauma and in critical condition and she later died in the Colona hospital police are short on details they confirm it is a homicide but little else and no details on possible suspect ects instead they're looking for help people are understandably frightened and are looking for answers some people in the area that night reported hearing a woman screaming but it's Halloween they Tau nut no right it's a Time full of Screams even blood curling ones one woman was tending to her pumpkins just outside her front door putting candles in the me for the trick-or-treaters she heard screams coming directly from the railroad which is even more haunting and that last text she sent being creeped made Shivers run down everyone's spine who had been out there that Halloween night someone who didn't need to dress as a monster to be a walking nightmare but had she known who it was had she gone there she left her house early before Waiting for Zoe cuz she went to meet someone there along those tracks or was she followed from the text she sent that was most likely probably hearing footsteps behind her as she walked the dark tracks there is any possibility someone could have followed her could have met up with her or could have by chance met her there police released these photos at the Halloween costume vanis was wearing that night she went to the zomie and was wearing a tan jacket over her costume we were canvasing all along that route to see whether or not people will jog their memory saying oh yeah I saw her that evening or I saw her with person or persons soon the police were asking locals not to walk around alone and of course following up with everyone she'd been in contact with before she was attacked the police spread the word how she was dressed that night in case anyone saw her and maybe saw anyone suspicious near her bizarrely within a week of the murder the ormp received a letter claiming to be from the killer the contents of that letter have never been revealed the author has never been revealed but they wrote whoever wrote this sick piece of they wrote saying that they planning more acts of violence against women in the area great someone claiming to be the killer sent police a letter threatening to strike again now investigators have to figure out if it's real or a hoax we see it as a form of communication from this individual these individuals we certainly want to carry on with this dialogue with them now as I said who sent this in what they disclosed and and from the letter claiming to be the killer it seemed like by what they wrote it's like they got details wrong so they didn't do it so it was soon determined it it was soon determined to be a hoax but I mean seriously very very uncool like the opposite of that like hot he might even call it hot but like not in a not in a good way sick bastards it was at the end of November almost a month after Taylor's attack the or CMP made a breakthrough the blood and skin found under Taylor's Nails LED them to a suspect however suspect was as far as it went at the time see the DNA matched that of another attack a woman a massuse in the area had been uh you know massing happy ending St massuse when in 2005 she was sexually assaulted in Colona in 2005 when he assaulted a woman who worked at this escort agency on Lawrence Avenue that still to this day remained unsolved but now 6 years later here he's doing it again now it's important to tell uh vanis she wasn't sexually assaulted but kind of seemed like he didn't I don't know have time or something she managed to fight him off anyway but there was likely a sexual predator in the area and as we see in these cases it's only a matter of time pry strike again finding him would prove extremely difficult like trying to locate a needle in a Hy stack or or even a person using some kind of virtual private Network a VPN you might say just like me see I'm not at home right now as
