On the night of October 15, 1986, 15-year-old Kerrie Brown went to a house party in Thompson, Manitoba, Canada. She had gone with her close friend Nicole. At the party, Kerrie became upset after seeing an ex-boyfriend talking with another girl. The two girls would decide to leave together, but when they went outside Nicole realized she forgot her purse.
Nicole went back inside to get it leaving Kerrie outside on her own. Nicole would then get into an argument with her boyfriend just before she was to leave. When Nicole returned Kerrie was nowhere in sight. She assumed Kerrie may have left without her as she was taking too long and got a ride with someone. She saw single footsteps going down the driveway in the snow and car tracks where they left.
Nicole worried about Kerrie searched for her. The two were supposed to be staying the night at Nicole's house that night. She even returned to the party twice just in case, but no one would see Kerrie alive again.
Two days later on the outskirts of the city, Kerrie's body was found by horseback riders. She was laying on a jacket and her face was unrecognizable. She had been raped and her face bludgeoned with a nearby tree branch.
The truck of the person who killed her likely got stuck. A red and blue air mattress and a black rubber car mat were found at the scene. Used to help get them unstuck.
