About this episode

The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Karen Tessier and features interviews with her mother and a community member involved in the search.

Karen Tessier was 57 years old when she was last seen on July 9th, 2024, in Fort Nelson, British Columbia. Five days later her vehicle was found burned in a remote area outside of town. She has not been found. No arrest has been made. In this episode we speak with Karen's mother Elizabeth, an elder of Fort Nelson First Nation, and with Connie, a community member who spent months searching for Karen and her dog Soma. Their accounts form the backbone of this episode. The RCMP North District Major Crime Unit is treating Karen's disappearance as highly suspicious and believes members of the community have information they have not shared. Fort Nelson First Nation is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to a significant development in the case. If you have information, call the dedicated RCMP tip line at 250-561-8888. You can also contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. PLEASE READ: Some TNTC+ episodes may be released publicly in the future.
