Cynthia was an Inuk women. We do not know much about her but honour her life and legacy. She was brutally beaten at her boyfriend’s apartment on rue De Bullion and left to go to the Midway Bar to seek assistance, but she was denied entry because she was intoxicated and was a sex worker. She was found naked by paramedics and later died in hospital on January 4, 2005. Cynthia’s boyfriend was interviewed, but no arrest was ever made. At the time, the Executive Director of the Native Friendship Centre blamed other Inuit for stripping Cynthia naked and robbing her after she was dead. We REJECT this horrible, disgusting, and dehumanizing rhetoric. We know that it is other Inuit on the streets who look after one another when there is no one else. We also know that the presence of a naked victim can be an indicator of a sexual homicide. Cynthia was a sex worker and Inuk, and for this reason, we demand that her case be reviewed in conjunction with the others.

Nunia was originally from Kangiqsujuaq (Wakeham Bay). Many of the older women remember Cynthia fondly, particularly for her quiet nature. She was found hanging in an apartment on Tupper St on November 11, 2011. The apartment door was left open, and the state of decomposition of her body meant that she had been dead for some time. Nunia was known to associate with the serial predator in Cabot Square.

Siasi was originally from Puvirnituq. She was very small in stature but had a big personality. Siasi was found dead by hanging from an apartment balcony on Chomedy St on August 29, 2017. On the night that she died, Siasi went to police for assistance in fear for her life. Several hours later, she was found dead. Initially, her death was ruled a suicide, but after extensive community pressure, police declared that she died a “violent” death and opened an investigation, though they failed to follow-up on basic investigative tips, such as speaking to the bartenders working on the night she died.

Sharon Baron was originally from Puvirnituq. Sharon was known for her protective nature, and was one of few women who stood up to the Cabot Square Serial Predator. Sharon died just two days after Siasi, in the apartment of her “boyfriend” at the time. Reportedly, Sharon knew what happened to Siasi and was going to come forward with the information, and was murdered as a result of this. Her death was ruled a suicide.

Donna was originally from Iqaluit, Nunavut. She was known around Berri-UQAM and Chinatown. She was last seen in December 2018, but was not reported missing until March 2019. Due to the fact that Donna is Inuk and was involved in the sex trade, we are requesting the police investigate her disappearance alongside the other deaths.

Talia was described by many of the women as being an extremely bright person, as if there was a light in her. She had recently reconnected with her biological mother and was very happy to have her mother in her life. Talia was last seen by her mother leaving with the Cabot Square Serial Predator. Talia was found hanging in an apartment stairwell from a scarf on January 17, 2019, and her death was ruled a suicide. When one of Talia’s family members learned of this, they asked “who put Talia there?”

Maryann was originally from Nunavut and was often looking out for her family on the streets. She was found hanging by an electrical wire from the apartment of her boyfriend on July 17, 2023. In 2020, Maryann’s boyfriend was murdered in front of her. Although the Cabot Square Serial Predator was incarcerated at the time of Maryann’s death, we feel that her killer was abiding by a dangerous belief that it is possible to kill Inuit women and then stage their death as a suicide around Cabot Square. It is for this reason that we call for Maryann’s death to be investigated with the other cases.
