The life of Helen Betty Osborne : a graphic novel / [script David Alexander Robertson ; illustrations Madison Blackstone] - Winnipeg : In a Bind, 2008. - 1 v. (unpaged) : ill. ; 23 cm.

In the early hours of November 13, 1971, a young Aboriginal woman, Helen Betty Osborne, was walking home alone, after spending some time with fellow students at The Pas (B Margaret Barbour Collegiate). On her way back home from the Northern Lite Cafe, she was abducted by four young white men, sexually assaulted, and then viciously beaten and stabbed with a screwdriver. Despite the horrific nature of her murder, and the identities of her killers being known to many in The Pas, no arrests were made until 1986, and the subsequent trial resulted in only one conviction.

Grades 9 and up / Ages 14 and up.
