We lived five blocks away from each other,

She wanted to build and own her own hotels.
I knew right away that this girl
Was going to go places and do things.

Lying on the side of the road in a remote area
Near the saskatoon landfill.

You need to protect the scene as best you can

Has no shoes on,

A leather jacket,
A belt, and a woman's watch.

Raised a lot of red flags for investigators.
My first instincts were that it was, like,
A sexual predator-type murder.
- There was no immediate suspect.
There was no motive. There was nothing there.
Because I've covered crimes like this in the past,
I thought this was a body dump.
If I've hurt somebody and want to dispose of their body,
This is the first natural point
Where you would throw a body out of a vehicle
Because you've just cleared the last neighborhood.
Nobody's going to see you there.
It seemed pretty clear to me, based on my experience,
That this is not where the person had had
The bad things done to them.
So right away, you had a scene that was not the crime scene.

Not been sexually assaulted.
She died of suffocation by ligature,
Basically strangled to death.

To really definitively connect that to cheyenne,
I still don't really quite know.
But I think the numerous attempts to mislead police
Certainly did not make the investigation straightforward.
It would have had to follow a lot of false leads,
And that takes time and resources.
And I mean, we don't have a huge police service here.
So it's one of those things where I think
They just had to eventually get the right things to crack,
And that eventually happened.
- The fact that it was a friend
Who took brittney's life
Is especially difficult for her loved ones,
But they are determined that her memory will live on.
- I miss her bubbly, happy, positive personality.
I miss her quite often, 'cause I see her every day.
I don't tear up every day, but I still--once in a while,
I do get a little bit emotional thinking about
Back in the day with her, what she could have been now.
I just feel saddened that she's missed out on her life.
- I got to hang out with brittney
Two weeks prior to everything that happened to her.
We got to sit in her car and catch up for a bit,
Talking about our lives
And where we are and how we're so surprised,
How much we're growing up,
And about being the people that we are.
When I'm walking by the river and going for walks,
Every day, it reminds me of her.
Brittney was a very loving person,
And she did everything she could
To make another person happy.
I'm glad that my last memory of her
Was her smiling and hanging out and laughing.
