14. Amber Tucarro
The missing persons case of Amber Tuccaro, which later became a homicide investigation, is one of the most frightening cases of abduction ever caught on audio recording. Tucarro was travelling from her home in Fort McMurray, AB, Canada to Edmonton, AB, with her friend and 14 month old son when she went missing on August 18th, 2012. Tucarro and her friend planned to stay the night in Nisku, AB, just outside of Edmonton to save money and visit the city the following day. Tuccaro decided to hitchhike to Edmonton alone the night they arrived in Nisku, leaving her son and friend to follow behind her the next day. Tuccaro was picked up by an unknown man and was never seen again until her body was found nearly two weeks later. While she thought she was being driven into the city, Tuccaro called her brother who was at the Edmonton Remand Centre correctional facility, where all phone calls were recorded. After Tuccaro’s body was found, RCMP investigators released about one minute of the phone call hoping someone would recognize the man’s voice and hopefully lead them to an arrest. In the phone call, Tuccaro appears to be aware that the man was not taking her to Edmonton and she sounds frightened as she asks the man where he’s taking her. The recording released was apparently just 1 minute of a 15 minute call. To this day, no arrests have been made for the murder of Amber Tuccaro, and the killer who appears to be dumping bodies near Leduc County, AB, still remains at large.
