Under the Bridge

Rebecca was a rebellious novelist who returned to her hometown of Victoria, BC in 1997 and immersed herself in the too-strange-to-believe case of Reena Virk’s murder. As a young woman herself, Rebecca was entrusted by the teenagers accused of the crime and gained unique access to the story. Her increasing fascination with the case — and the killers — drew her down the same path as Truman Capote while writing In Cold Blood. Rebecca’s great capacity for empathy, mixed with her tendency to chase darkness, sometimes prompted her to stray from the expected path of journalistic morality in pursuit of her masterpiece.
