In the summer of 1982, the Johnson-Bentley family—three generations—ventured into Wells Gray Provincial Park, British Columbia, for what should have been a peaceful, idyllic camping trip. But days later, they vanished without a trace.

For weeks, no one knew where they had gone. There were no distress signals, no signs of struggle—only an eerie silence. Then, in September 1982, a berry picker made a horrifying discovery: a burned-out car deep in the woods, its charred interior hiding skeletal remains.

And when investigators pried open the trunk, they found something even worse.

What followed was one of Canada’s most chilling true crime cases—a desperate search for the missing, a haunting crime scene buried in the wilderness, and a relentless investigation that would eventually lead authorities to a disturbing predator hiding in plain sight.

🔍 What happened in those darkened woods?

🔍 Who was the shadow stalking the family’s every move?

🔍 And how did a terrifying obsession turn into an unthinkable massacre?
