On February 15, 1976, the bodies of two 14-year-old girls were discovered west of Calgary along Highway 1. One victim was Eva Violet Dvorak, a white female from Calgary; the other was her friend Patsy McQueen. The girls had been sent home from Ian Bazalgette Junior High School earlier that Friday after being caught drinking and did not arrive at home.

Their bodies were found two days later under an overpass near what is now the community of Valley Ridge. Family recollections place the girls walking in downtown Calgary on Ninth Avenue S.E. in the early hours of Sunday morning; a local man discovered the bodies at approximately 10:30 a.m. An autopsy detected alcohol and drugs in their systems, but an exact cause of death could not be determined and the scene suggested the bodies had been dumped. The case was treated as suspicious and has remained open with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; no arrests have ever been announced.

The families have said they continue to grieve and seek answers, and investigators have periodically reviewed the file hoping someone with information will come forward. Did anyone in Calgary remember seeing the girls that weekend or notice anything unusual near the overpass?
