S2 E16 Murder at the Good Earth: Brenda Young

Cold Case Canada

On January 7, 1976, Brenda Young, a 38-year-old mother of four, was found murdered in her store the Good Earth on Lower Lonsdale in North Vancouver. After I wrote about Brenda in my book Cold Case Vancouver, a retired detective contacted me and said Brenda’s murder was a case of mistaken identity. He believed that a corrupt RCMP officer, then in jail, put out a contract on the female police informant who had put him there. She was about the same age as Brenda and ran a store right across the road from the Good Earth.
