Death of Amber Tuccaro

Amber Tuccaro was born in 1990 in Alberta, Canada. She was a member of the Mikisew Cree First Nation. At the time of her disappearance, she was living in Fort McMurray, Alberta, with her mother and 14-month-old son. ==Disappearance==

On 17 August 2010, Tuccaro flew from her home in Fort McMurray to Edmonton with her infant son and a female friend for a short vacation. The group booked a hotel in nearby Nisku. Police released a recording of the phone call in 2012. Tuccaro can be heard in the recording telling the driver, "You'd better not be taking me anywhere I don't want to go." ==Criticism of RCMP investigation==

On 4 September 2010, a press release from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said they did not believe Tuccaro was in any danger. The family felt the RCMP were not taking her disappearance seriously, and that investigators were biased by stereotypes about Indigenous women. After Tuccaro's remains were found on 1 September 2012, her family said police rarely shared updates about the murder investigation. Tuccaro's brother, Paul Tuccaro, was told by police that they had waited a year before releasing the audio of Tuccaro and the unknown man to the public and media. Tuccaro's family filed a complaint with the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 2014. ==See also==
