My name is Ian
0:02
Urbina. I've reported on some pretty
0:05
mind-blowing stories, but nothing
0:07
like what happens at sea. If they got within 800 meters,
0:10
that is when we would fire warning shots. Murder,
0:13
slavery, human trafficking, and staggering
0:16
environmental crimes.
0:17
Men have told me that they've been beaten with stingray tails,
0:19
with chains. If you really want to understand
0:22
crime, start where the law of the land ends,
0:24
the outlaw Available now

on CBC Listen and everywhere you get
0:29
your podcasts.
0:31
This is a CBC Podcast.
0:34
If you're not from Saskatchewan, like me,
0:37
you learn pretty quickly that people in this province
0:40
use a lot of slang. Hoodies
0:42
are called bunny hugs. Gravel roads
0:45
are grids. A two-four is
0:47
a case of beer. But lately,
0:49
there's one term I've been thinking about
0:52
a lot. The North Forty.
0:56
It means the far side of the farm. An
0:58
unused piece of land, off the beaten
1:01
path. In
1:03
a farming province like this one, it's
1:05
common to come across these remote, secluded
1:07
places.
1:09
Pastures, sloughs, gravel
1:12
pits. Places where you
1:14
can be alone. Places
1:16
where you can simply vanish.
1:20
It could well describe the place where Sherry
1:22
Furtuck was last seen. I
1:27
just can't believe that she would just disappear.
1:29
Like if somebody tried to take her, she
1:31
would have had to have fought. There was no paper on
1:33
the ground, there was no articles of clothing, there
1:35
was no blood or anything around.
1:38
After a few weeks and months, you
1:41
know, you just, you know that she's
1:44
not, there's something, something went wrong and she's not
1:46
coming back.
1:51
I'm Alicia Bridges, and this is
1:53
Episode One of The Pit.
2:00
Winter in Saskatchewan feels like it never
2:03
ends. The freezing dry weather
2:05
can really get to you. For half
2:08
of the year the temperature bounces between
2:10
zero and minus 30 degrees Celsius.
2:12
On this particular day in
2:15
March of 2018 it's cold
2:17
but it's also blindingly sunny. A perfect
2:20
day by Saskatchewan standards to
2:23
drive out to see Julianne
2:24
Sirotsky. I'm
2:26
with another reporter Victoria Din.
2:28
We've been working together in the
2:30
same newsroom for a couple of years now and
2:33
when Sherry's story came up we both wanted
2:36
to find out more about how someone could
2:38
just up and disappear like that. We
2:40
weren't the only ones looking for answers. Sherry's
2:43
mum Julianne was doing the same.
2:48
So we pulled her up.
2:50
Well I'm doing as well as can be expected.
2:52
So Julianne I'm thinking of maybe doing
2:55
kind of a broader story
2:57
kind of delving into who Sherry
2:59
was. Would you be interested and maybe maybe
3:02
sharing her story? Yeah
3:04
probably I could do that. Yeah if I
3:06
were to come out and speak to you in person would
3:08
that be a possibility? Yeah that's
3:10
a possibility. That might be easier than we
3:12
can just have a conversation. Yeah.
3:17
So email is hi this
3:19
is Natalie.
3:23
We get some directions and hit the road. This
3:26
is the first time we're meeting Julianne in person.
3:28
We're going to Julianne's farm in the middle of nowhere
3:31
or at least it seems that way.
3:45
Our
3:53
vehicle creeps up to a small white bungalow
3:55
on the edge of the Swarovski property.
3:58
Julianne has lived and worked here for more than 50
4:00
years. It's about 15 kilometers
4:03
east of the town of Keniston, Saskatchewan.
4:05
The
4:06
nearest big city is Saskatoon, and
4:08
that's over an hour drive away.
4:11
Julianne is expecting
4:14
us.
4:15
As we reach the steps, she pops open
4:17
the door and invites us in.
4:19
So I actually
4:22
am not in the farming business anymore. Thank
4:24
goodness.
4:26
Her kitchen looks typical of a Saskatchewan
4:29
farmhouse. Maple wood cupboards, tiled
4:32
floors, family
4:33
photos everywhere. It's cozy.
4:35
The TV is on faintly in another room.
4:38
It helps drown the silence. And
4:40
it makes sense, because Julianne lives
4:42
out here alone. At
4:48
this time, it's been a little more than two
4:50
years since Sherry disappeared. And
4:52
as Julianne talks to us, she seems
4:55
beaten down, exhausted, and
4:57
it's understandable because of where
4:59
we're sitting at this kitchen table. This
5:02
is where she saw her daughter, Sherry Fertup,
5:05
for the last time.
5:08
Yeah, it is tough. When it's your
5:10
own child, it's very tough. And
5:14
kind of when it's a senseless disappearance,
5:18
it's hard to get it kind
5:21
of wrapped around your brain.
5:26
And the biggest hold back is
5:28
there's no body. You
5:31
know, like Sherry hasn't been found,
5:33
and who knows where she
5:35
is.
5:51
Julianne is a petite woman. She
5:54
needs a chair to reach a stack of photos on top
5:56
of her fridge.
5:56
You
6:00
want to know what to do? Yeah,
6:03
and this is Sherry. This
6:06
is my family. Sherry,
6:10
Linda, Michelle, Darrin,
6:12
and Tika. So these are all in your family?
6:15
Those are my kids, yeah. Okay. So she's
6:17
one of five. She's one of five, yeah. Is she like
6:19
one of the youngest? She's the oldest. The oldest.
6:22
Yeah, she's the oldest.
6:24
These photos of Sherry are very different
6:26
from the one we're used to seeing. The
6:28
one that police used when Sherry first went missing.
6:31
The one that appears in news feeds when
6:33
her name is brought up. As
6:36
far as pictures of missing persons go, it does
6:38
the job. It's
6:40
crisp and clear. It shows exactly
6:42
what Sherry looks like. She has
6:45
short, soft, brown hair with a hint
6:47
of grey. Her eyes
6:49
are dark under metal rinsed glasses. She's
6:52
wearing a white polo shirt. But
6:54
this photograph makes her look uncomfortable.
6:57
A little cold.
6:59
She's smiling with just the tiniest corner
7:01
of her mouth. It's a photo
7:03
that is easily forgotten. And
7:06
this is why Victoria and I wanted
7:08
to find out more about Sherry. Julianne
7:15
shows us family photos that reveal a different
7:17
side of Sherry.
7:19
That's Sherry and Greg, and that's Lucas when
7:21
he was a baby, I believe,
7:23
maybe, at his christening. Yeah, because
7:24
they're wearing cresarges. Yeah.
7:29
Flipping through this pile, I can
7:31
see that Sherry was a wife, a mother,
7:33
a sister, a friend.
7:37
Julianne lights up when she talks
7:39
about her family.
7:42
This is my sister, Gladys. That's my oldest
7:44
sister, Lillie. My
7:47
next sister, Josie, and she's next
7:50
Grace. And that's
7:53
Michelle, my daughter, Michelle. Well,
7:55
that's just part of my family. Is
7:57
it a very big family? I come from a family of
7:59
three.
7:59
12. When
8:08
Sherry disappeared she wasn't living on the
8:10
farm. She was in Saskatoon. At 51
8:14
she was married, a mother of three and
8:16
a new grandmother. But she would still
8:18
drive out to the Keniston area every
8:20
single day to work at the gravel pit
8:23
near the family farm. Sometimes
8:25
Sherry would get help from her husband Greg Fertuck
8:28
or her brother Darren Sirotsky.
8:31
And like clockwork Sherry would stop
8:33
by to visit her mum Julianne for
8:35
lunch and supper. Sometimes
8:37
Darren would join them. It was routine.
8:41
She hauled mostly for the RM of Rosedale.
8:43
RM means rural municipality. It's
8:46
like a local government.
8:48
On the roads there and some
8:50
into a project in the town there and
8:52
some through the town
8:53
and yeah that's
8:56
basically it.
8:57
You load up, you go dump, you
8:59
come back, you load up. She was a worker.
9:02
Well she usually stopped and had
9:04
supper at supper time and then she'd come home
9:06
and shower and
9:08
flop into bed.
9:15
On December 7th 2015
9:17
that routine changes. At
9:20
first everything seems normal. Sherry
9:22
leaves for work from her Saskatoon home
9:24
at 9.30 in the morning. She
9:26
works at the gravel pit until noon. Then
9:29
she stops by the family farm to have lunch
9:31
with Julianne. Sherry says goodbye
9:34
at 1.30. Sherry
9:38
walks back to her semi truck parked outside
9:40
on the gravel driveway. It's unusually
9:43
warm. Her coat is in the truck. Later
9:46
the police would describe her as wearing a gray
9:49
sweatshirt, sweatpants and white
9:51
sneakers. She leaves the farm
9:53
and heads back to the pit. She guides
9:55
her heavy vehicle back down the empty highway
9:58
past abandoned farmhouses and and expansive
10:00
fields. But
10:02
by the time evening rolls around, Julianne
10:05
starts to worry.
10:06
I've been on her cell phone,
10:09
I don't know how many times that day trying to
10:11
get hold of her and she never did answer. And
10:13
I found that very strange because at
10:15
some point she at the gravel bit,
10:18
she usually didn't have a
10:20
reception there, but
10:22
she still would have reception at some time
10:24
on the road or whatever. And she never got
10:27
back to me. And then, of
10:29
course at that time of the year, you know where the days
10:31
are. And she didn't
10:34
show up for supper and I thought, what
10:36
the heck's going on? But anyway,
10:38
I didn't go out and look
10:40
that night because I don't like going out
10:42
at night, especially into a gravel
10:45
pit where, I
10:47
didn't know what I was going to find. So
10:50
I didn't go out until about eight o'clock the next
10:52
morning and it was still kind of dark. And
10:55
I had her dog with me. And when we got
10:57
to the pit, oh my God, he started to
10:59
whine and cried because he recognized
11:01
her dog. 51 year
11:03
old Sherry Furtuck was last seen on December
11:05
7th, 2015. She had lunch
11:08
with her family. She
11:09
hasn't been seen since. Her
11:11
semi was found abandoned the following day
11:13
at a gravel pit near Keniston.
11:14
Her coat, keys and
11:17
phone all inside. Family,
11:20
friends and police extensively
11:22
searched the area for Furtuck. No
11:25
charges have been laid.
11:27
Everyone in Keniston is baffled.
11:30
How could Sherry just disappear?
11:37
Coffee
11:42
roe is another term you'll hear a lot around
11:44
here. It's a nickname for a place where people
11:47
routinely meet and chat.
11:49
In Keniston, you'll find coffee roe
11:51
at the local Chinese restaurant. About
11:53
twice a day, the tables are packed with people catching
11:56
up and gossiping. Since we're looking
11:58
for people to talk to, Everyone in
12:00
the area tells us we'll find them here. We
12:03
arrived just before lunch.
12:05
Within minutes, a man sits down at the table
12:07
next to us.
12:09
It's Alan Kerpin. If
12:11
you know about Canadian politics, you'll know
12:13
the name.
12:14
I actually served two terms in Ottawa
12:16
as a member of parliament and two terms in Regina
12:19
as an MLA. But my roots are
12:21
in the farm. My grandpa came here 100
12:23
years ago or more and started
12:26
farming. And then my dad and now myself and now
12:28
our son is farming.
12:29
Turns out, Sherry Fertuck is Alan's
12:32
cousin.
12:32
In a small town, everybody knows
12:34
everybody, right? And our kids
12:37
didn't really fit into the same age category.
12:39
Sherry's a little older than our kids were, but you
12:42
watch them grow up and you watch them go to school.
12:45
It's all part of being in a small community. You
12:48
can't really explain it unless you live with one.
12:52
He's right. Keniston is small.
12:55
There's pretty much one main street with all the basics.
12:58
A post office, a church, a school,
13:00
and a little gas station that
13:03
also serves as a grocery store. There's
13:07
a five and a half meter tall snowman at the
13:09
edge of town. It's sign
13:11
declares Keniston as the Blizzard capital
13:13
of Saskatchewan. Sherry
13:19
grew up in Keniston, so it seems like
13:21
everyone here knows her. People
13:24
say she was a friendly face around town. They
13:26
used to have a laugh with her and chat about football.
13:29
And she especially loved the rough riders. That's
13:32
Saskatchewan's team in the Canadian Football League.
13:35
They're insanely popular.
13:37
But there was one thing about Sherry that everyone
13:40
noticed.
13:41
She was not unhealthy at all. She was a big strong
13:43
healthy girl.
13:44
She was a very strong
13:47
masculine type woman. Like she was not a
13:51
little person. She was a big strong woman.
13:54
She was large but very
13:56
strong. Like a very strong
13:58
person.
13:59
came up over and over again.
14:02
Here's her childhood friend, Florence Greek.
14:06
The job that she did and stuff like that, she
14:08
was quite muscular and stuff like that. So she
14:10
was very strong. And when
14:13
I was growing up, we mouth-tied, so you had
14:15
by hand, so your arm muscles would get strong. So
14:18
like that kind of stuff. And she'd helped her dad with, he
14:20
had a rock crushing gravel
14:23
business, so she would help work with the crusher
14:24
and stuff like that. So you would build muscle
14:27
and stuff like that. So she was stronger.
14:31
When Sherry turned 18, she got her semi-truck
14:33
driver's license. Her father, Michael,
14:36
wanted her to help out with M&S Ready Mix. That's
14:39
the family concrete and gravel crushing business.
14:42
But she also had other plans. She was
14:44
good at debating. A friend tells us
14:47
she had aspirations to become a lawyer. But
14:49
when things didn't work out at university, she
14:52
returned home. She came back
14:54
to the family business, hauling and crushing
14:56
gravel. And she was good at it. When
14:59
her dad died in 2010, Sherry
15:02
took over the business with her brother, Darren. Sherry
15:05
looked after most of the business transactions
15:08
and bids, and Darren looked after
15:10
crushing the gravel.
15:12
It was a sibling-run company. There
15:14
were ups and there were downs. But
15:17
they worked together for decades, right
15:19
up until the day Sherry vanished. Hi,

16:27
In November of 2018, we
16:30
go back to the last spot where Sherry was known
16:32
to be,
16:33
the pit.
16:34
But we need some help finding it. People
16:37
around town tell us John McJanet owns
16:39
the gravel pit and the land around it, so
16:42
we look him up in the phone book. It's his
16:44
son who answers the phone, who also
16:46
goes by John McJanet, and he's
16:48
the one who takes us to the pit. I
16:53
think
16:55
there is no way we would have known to
16:58
come all the way
16:59
down here. No. And
17:01
I think we would have been too concerned about
17:04
driving onto the private property anyway.
17:06
John leads us down a valley to a site next
17:08
to a small creek. It's off of
17:11
the highway, about 15 kilometres
17:13
east of the Swarovski farm. We
17:15
drive onto the property, past large gravel
17:17
piles, and down a winding road
17:19
covered in
17:20
overgrown grass. There's
17:22
a small herd of deer watching us, and
17:24
we stop at a lower clearing surrounded by gravel.
17:27
Hi John. Sorry,
17:29
we were just a bit worried we were going to get
17:31
the... Yeah, we don't know if our driver would make it. Okay,
17:34
no problem. To Victoria. Nice
17:36
to meet you. I'm Alicia.
17:38
Nice to meet you. Approximately where the truck was found, where
17:40
her truck was found. Just right where we
17:42
parked right now? Just about right on the
17:44
spot, yeah.
17:46
In a few weeks, it will be three years since
17:48
Sherry's disappearance, and
17:50
the anniversary is on all of our minds.
17:53
John says he still thinks about it. He
17:56
was one of the first people Julianne called
17:58
when she realised Sherry was missing. seen.
18:01
Okay, originally in the
18:03
morning, first thing in the morning, Julian
18:05
had called some neighbors and called my uncle
18:08
and his farm is just about
18:10
a mile south of here and
18:12
said that Sherry hadn't come home
18:15
that night and she was wondering if we'd
18:17
seen her at the gravel pits the day before
18:19
or if we'd go down and take a look and see.
18:23
So we came down and essentially
18:25
what we found was the payloader
18:27
that they were using to load the gravel into the truck and
18:30
the truck were parked here.
18:31
And what was the feeling like when
18:33
you came here and you saw an empty truck?
18:35
Well, originally we'd hoped that
18:39
somebody picked her up and she went
18:41
back home and
18:43
just forgotten to tell her mom that
18:45
she was safe somewhere but just
18:47
hadn't notified anybody that
18:50
she wasn't going to be at the truck or at her
18:52
mom's place.
19:00
The wind is howling as we stand outside.
19:03
A light layer of fresh snow swells
19:05
around the ground. It's bitterly
19:08
cold, about minus 20. John
19:10
says it reminds him of what it was like that
19:12
day. We got a medical condition that got disoriented
19:15
and so we
19:17
walked around the perimeter looking for footprints,
19:20
tracks, anything that was out of the ordinary
19:22
and didn't see anything. And then later that
19:24
day the RCMP were on
19:27
site and closed
19:29
this scene and had teams
19:31
of professionals search and rescue people come
19:33
out and comb this area quite
19:36
well.
19:40
It's just it's odd because there was no
19:43
trace of a scuffle. There was no nothing.
19:46
That's Dennis Powder. No evidence
19:49
at all around there that
19:52
alluded to her being
19:54
abducted or well who knows I
19:56
guess what.
19:57
Dennis is a member of the Keniston Volunteer
20:01
He remembers receiving a text from the Royal
20:03
Canadian Mounted Police, or the RCMP,
20:06
and they asked to help out at the pit. So
20:09
you get to the gravel pit after you get this
20:11
text and you find out it's Sherry for a check.
20:14
Like, what are you thinking? Like, wow, what happened?
20:16
You know,
20:18
everybody's, of course, her poor mother is
20:21
worried sick, where's her daughter, you know, it's
20:23
like a lot of emotions, I guess,
20:25
running through your head. You
20:28
know, what are we going to find, you know, or are
20:30
we going to find her, or what, you
20:33
know.
20:38
It was a situation Dennis had never faced
20:40
before, someone disappearing
20:42
so close to home, and the RCMP
20:44
put him to work right away.
20:48
I was
20:51
asked to run
20:53
the loader to dig out
20:56
some of the piles to see if we could find her. How
20:59
did you do that? Was it sort of,
21:01
did the police have directions for you, or
21:04
did you kind of just have to
21:06
sort of do it the best way you thought?
21:08
How did you sort of do that?
21:09
Yeah, they
21:12
wanted us to do a certain way, and, you
21:14
know, of course be gentle in what
21:17
we were doing. If she was
21:19
in there, it would have been too late already
21:23
to save her, but it was more of a recovery
21:26
situation by then. So
21:30
being as gentle as I could, and dumping
21:33
it, you know, as gently as I could into
21:35
another pile while
21:37
the RCMP watched to see
21:40
if there was anything in there, anything at all,
21:43
I guess.
21:44
Were you worried during that process
21:47
about what you might find?
21:49
Yes, I was worried about, you
21:52
know, if I accidentally
21:56
dug her up and
21:58
cut off her arm or something.
21:59
or a leg or something, you know, that wouldn't have been very
22:03
fun either. So...
22:05
And during this time, what was the atmosphere
22:07
like in the villager?
22:09
Everybody couldn't believe
22:12
that, you know, somebody from a little
22:14
town like this went missing, and, you know,
22:17
you can't find her. Still, to this day,
22:19
I mean, everybody's, you
22:21
know, what happened to her, right?
22:33
Anything could have happened. If
22:35
someone took Sherry, did they have a gun? Did
22:37
they trick her into getting
22:39
in their vehicle? Was there more than one
22:41
person?
22:42
What happened to Sherry Furtoke?
22:51
Standing in the middle of the gravel pit now, it's
22:53
isolated. I'd hate to be out here alone.
22:57
It must have felt normal for Sherry. This
23:00
was her office. Looking around,
23:02
I can see more animal footprints than
23:04
tire tracks
23:05
in the snow. It's clear
23:07
not many people come here. Not many
23:09
people have a reason to. They're
23:13
not here anymore.
23:17
John McJanet points to his pasture from
23:20
where we're standing. It's close. There's
23:23
a lot of land I got around here.
23:25
Farm fields, as far as the eye can see. The
23:28
nearest house is on a hill in the distance.
23:31
It's about a kilometer away along the highway.
23:34
And John says it's hard to see what's going on down
23:36
here.
23:36
Except for, you know, if you
23:38
were on that farmland over there, you could see here, but
23:41
not very... At that time of the year, there
23:43
wouldn't be too many people driving
23:46
around on that side.
23:48
If Sherry was in here, like, would you be
23:50
able to see her walking around
23:52
from the highway, do you think?
23:53
If you had
23:55
good eyesight, yeah, you could probably see her if she
23:57
was walking around. I mean, and in life...
24:00
unless you made an
24:02
actual note to look to your
24:04
right. I mean,
24:07
most people when they're driving down the highway are just
24:09
watching down the highway and drive right by and
24:11
take no notice
24:12
of what's going on down here. Do
24:14
you
24:14
think it's possible that someone could have
24:16
driven in here, something could have happened
24:19
without anybody noticing?
24:20
Is that your thought? I mean,
24:22
there's very few neighbors around. Unless
24:26
you were actually sitting on the highway watching.
24:29
I
24:31
mean, anything could happen down here that
24:34
nobody would see.
24:40
From dawn till dusk, Sherry
24:43
came out to this spot every single day, loading
24:46
and hauling gravel. Everyone
24:48
in the area had a sense of her routine and
24:51
they all have their theories. They
24:53
told us how Sherry was afraid she might die.
24:56
There were guns, death threats. There
24:59
were troubles in the family and
25:01
problems with money. People
25:04
were afraid. Many had stories
25:06
to tell, but didn't want to be named. Many
25:09
feared telling the truth would put their own lives
25:11
at risk. And we started to wonder
25:14
what we had gotten ourselves into. We
25:16
realized we had to be even more careful
25:19
than we had expected. People
25:21
we spoke to and even police officers
25:24
warned us we needed to proceed cautiously
25:27
for our safety and for others.
25:35
One's renting him out as a human pain
25:37
patient. Yeah,
25:40
you can look at these.
25:47
Back at the family farm, Julianne
25:49
tells us she thinks she knows what happened to Sherry.
25:53
She thinks everyone knows.
25:55
Because she often
25:57
says, if anything happens to me, like
25:59
she told the kids. If anything happens to me, you
26:01
look after my dog, which
26:04
they did, you know.
26:06
But,
26:07
you know, there was different. I can't
26:09
think of anything else right now, but there was different
26:12
incidents when she'd say, you
26:14
know, mom,
26:15
you know, if anything happens to me, do
26:17
this or do that. So
26:20
she kind of always had it
26:23
in the back of her mind. I think that
26:25
she was very uneasy.
26:29
And I don't even know
26:31
if I should have this recorded, but I'm
26:34
kind of careful with what I say, because
26:37
I don't know. He could
26:39
come out here someday and kick the door
26:41
in and, you know, because
26:44
he does not like me. So I don't
26:46
like to say
26:49
too much against
26:51
him, just for that reason.
27:01
On the next episode of The Pit. So
27:04
when the detachment first got here, they didn't know what they
27:07
had. So they were,
27:09
they dug, for example, if the
27:11
scenery was like this, they dug in some
27:13
of the gravel because they figured that maybe
27:16
she was buried accidentally. So
27:19
they were searching right away. So
27:21
possibly destroying some of the evidence that
27:23
later we found out we may have needed.
27:26
Somebody was, somebody was in
27:28
an awful big hurry that
27:30
day because that jacking was loud,
27:33
so loud that it echoed all
27:36
the way up the valley.
27:42
