CBC Radio One's "As It Happens" is telling the stories of Canada's murdered and missing indigenous women and girls. Host Carol Off interviews Laurie Odjick, whose 16-year-old daughter Maisy went missing in 2008.

"I just miss having my arms around her." The last time Laurie Odjick saw her daughter, Maisy, she was mowing her grandmother's lawn. It was a Friday, and 16-year-old Maisy was going to be sleeping over at her cousin Shannon Alexander's for the weekend. "I hugged her, and kissed her, told her I loved her and I'd see her later." When she didn't hear from her daughter on the Sunday, she started to worry. It wasn't like Maisy to not be in touch. By Monday, Laurie called the police.
