WNews Banner

Gary Bailie knew his daughter Stacity struggled with alcohol addiction, and he also knew she had lost some friends to opioid overdoses. He often worried about her and would sometimes try to talk to her about risks she was taking.

“It’s an illness that some people have. Some people get cancer, some don’t. Some get diabetes, some don’t. Some get addiction, and some don’t,” Gary said.

The last time he saw Stacity was on the night of Oct. 22, when he gave her a lift to go meet some friends in Whitehorse. She said goodbye and hopped out of the vehicle.
