the Murder of Alexandra Wiwcharuk - 2 - a discussion with author Sharon Butula

/

Saskatoon, SK - May 1962

In 1962, 23-year-old Alexandra Wiwcharuk—a vibrant nurse, beauty queen, and beloved daughter—went for a walk along the South Saskatchewan River in Saskatoon and never came home. Her body was discovered weeks later, buried in a shallow grave not far from her home. She had been brutally assaulted and buried alive.

In this episode of Nighttime, we revisit tAlexandra Wiwcharuk’s haunting case with acclaimed author Sharon Butala, whose book The Girl in Saskatoon explores Alexandra’s life, her death, and the deep scars left in its wake. Butala, as a former classmate of Alexandra, brings a unique and intimate lens to this decades-old mystery.

Together, we explore the investigation, the cultural context of 1960s Saskatoon, and the lingering questions that continue to haunt those touched by the case.

This is more than a story of a crime—it’s a story of memory, silence, and a community still searching for justice.

Langenburg, SK - Sept 1974

Saskatchewan farmer named Edwin Fuhr claimed to have witnessed something extraordinary—five metallic, saucer-shaped objects hovering over his field.
