The Vanishing

The Fifth Estate – Season 38

For Anna Ratté, growing up just outside Prince George, British Columbia was an idyllic childhood. But on August 18, 1997, that family was torn apart when Wendy Ratté suddenly vanished. Days and then months passed, with no word from her mother. Seventeen-year-old Anna Ratté began a long, difficult search for answers. It was years before Anna began to suspect that her father Denis was not telling her everything he knew.
