Thirteen years on, Shelley Fillipoff and advocate/filmmaker Kimberly Bordage reflect on the emotional and practical impact of Emma’s case being reassigned to the Victoria Police Department’s Historical Missing Persons Unit. Together, they discuss where things stand with the ongoing docuseries - the years of research, production, and why it’s so important to tell Emma’s story with accuracy and care.
The episode also includes the announcement that Episode 1 of the six-part docuseries will be released on January 6, 2026, Emma’s birthday. Finally, Shelley shares how poetry became her way of marking each passing month and keeping Emma’s spirit close, reading one of the first poems she ever wrote for her daughter.
