This is hearsay what I heard about a murdered girl (I thought her name was Rita and that she was from Williams Lake?) who was left naked to die somewhere off the highway between Williams Lake and Lac La Hache. She died of exposure after being assaulted by 3 men. The 3 men I was told were sons of well known and well off citizens in the town. I was told they did go to prison but only for a short while. I moved to Fraser Lake in north central BC in the 70s and once when we attended the bar in Endako, a favourite haunt for locals, one of the vinyl covered booths had been ripped quite badly. Thats when we heard the story about the 3 men from Williams Lake. They had recently been released from jail and were still nasty. They were the ones who had damaged the upholstery in the bar. Hearsay is often wrong but could there have been two separate murders in the same area and around the same time period?

In reply to cynthia. If I remember right her body was found down by the railway tracks across from the Lakeview Hotel. I wished you would have said your brothers name, so I can remember them as I hung around the ranch and Lakeview in those days and went to dances at Sugar Cane and Deep Creek after the bar closed or a little bit before.

Hi…I lived in Wms. Lk. at the time Gloria Moody was murdered. My mom worked at the Police Station as a guard for the females who were in jail for various reasons. I heard that Gloria was assaulted violently, sexually and physically and with a broken bottle pushed up inside of her. I have never forgotten about this heartbreaking, horrible crime. I did know a guy, who hung around with my eldest brother…they were alcoholics and junkies, who raped a young native girl and left her to die in the woods in the middle of winter. He was with a couple of friends; I don’t know the names of the friends. It came out in court that his friends told him they should go back and get her but he didn’t and she froze. He was arrested and charged with murder, but got off scott free b/c well, she was just an Indian. I don’t know who the other 2 men were…I hope my brother wasn’t involved, but I wouldn’t be surprised. My brother hung around with this guy and they were always at Sugar Cane; I know they were there to get drunk and rape girls…my brother was a pedophile….I wouldn’t be surprised if he was involved. Such a sad, sad story. Do you have any more details about how this young lady was taken…her brother said she was right behind me…leaving the Ranch Bar, and then she was gone. TY
