Highway of tears Recommendations...

The RCMP has officially added the names of
two more young women to the list of those
who have died or disappeared along
Highway 16 in northern B.C.,
CBC News has learned.
Police previously confirmed that nine
young women — eight of them aboriginal
— had gone missing or been murdered on
the highway since 1990.
The news comes as First Nations groups
issued a report Wednesday that aims to
prevent more murders and disappearances
along the highway.
It includes several recommendations to try to
cut down on "poverty-related travel" by
young aboriginal women. The report is the
result of the Highway of Tears Symposium
in Prince George earlier this year.
Its recommendations include a call for the
RCMP to officially investigate whether as
many as 32 people have gone missing
along the 724-kilometre highway between
Prince George and Prince Rupert
The report says poverty and a lack of
opportunities make young aboriginal women
more vulnerable, and more prone to
hitchhiking.
So some of the recommendations call for:
A new shuttle-bus transport service between
communities.
-An expansion of Greyhound's "free ride"
program for people who can't afford to pay.
-For police and Greyhound bus drivers to
pick up any young women hitchhiking
between Prince George and Prince Rupert.
-For government employees who drive the
highway as part of their work to alert
authorities about female hitchhikers.
-The report also recommends that a
network of safe houses be established.

A solution may be in the works but
the killer is still at large???????
