The Trail Went Cold - Episode 433 - Jodi Henrickson

June 20, 2009. Bowen Island, British Columbia. While attending a house party, 17-year old Jodi Henrickson leaves during the early morning hours with her estranged 20-year old boyfriend, Gavin Arnott. Numerous witnesses report seeing them walking down the road together and Gavin claims that after they got into an argument, he and Jodi went their separate ways before she vanished without a trace. Since Gavin had a history of violence against Jodi and a no-contact order at that time, he becomes a person of interest in her disappearance, but there is no evidence to implicate him and Jodi is never found. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a missing persons case from Canada which has gone unsolved for nearly 16 years. Special thanks to listener Katie Hyde for narrating the opening of this episode.

If you have any information about this case, please contact the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team at 1-877-551-4448.
