Death In Entertainment

Before the headlines. Before the recording. There was Amber.In August 2010, 20-year-old Amber Tuccaro vanished just outside Edmonton, Alberta after accepting a ride from a stranger.Hours before she disappeared, Amber placed a phone call — to her brother, who was in prison — knowing it would be recorded.What that recording captured was the sound of her abduction in real time, and the calm, chilling voice of a man who has never been found.Two years later, the RCMP released one minute of a nearly 17 minute phone call, after destroying key evidence and failing to follow basic investigative procedures.What remains is one of the most haunting unsolved cases in Canadian history — and one of the loudest failures in the fight for justice for missing Indigenous women.This is “Do You Know This Voice?” — a DIE After Dark original investigation.🕯 If you recognize this voice or have information, contact:Crime Stoppers Canada — 1-800-222-TIPS⚠️ If you or someone you know is in crisis:Canada Suicide Prevention Service — 1-833-456-4566Talk 4 Healing (Indigenous Women’s Support Line) — 1-855-554-HEAL📧 Submit story tips or help fund record requests: ⁠[email protected]⁠#AmberTuccaro #DoYouKnowThisVoice #TrueCrime #MMIWG #DIEAfterDark #UnsolvedMysteries #RCMP #IndigenousJustice #ColdCase #CanadaTrueCrime #DarkDocumentary
