It was around 6 a.m. on Sept. 4. Moostoos, 41, jumped up in a panic, threw on some clothes and headed out the door. 

She has walked the road to her mom Arlene’s on the James Smith Cree Nation countless times before.

This time she ran.

“As I was running by, there were bodies lying on the ground.”

With tears in her eyes, Moostoos remembered passing the home where Bonnie Goodvoice-Burns lived with her family.
