She knew what had happened with that other woman being held hostage, or maybe there were other things that kind of had led up to it that made her feel uncomfortable. So she called the RCMP. My dad brought us to the hall still. So me and my younger brother went to that bingo, but my mom had called the RCMP. And this is me assuming that she stayed at home.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
because my dad made a phone call while we were at the hall and he couldn't have called the house that you would assume because they didn't have a phone line. So what had happened was my dad brought my brother and I to the town hall. He was there with me.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
and then he shifted us over in the middle of the bingo and put us with ken and debbie bowden and so those are my parents best friends that's my best friend's parents and so we sat with them and i remember like just my memory is that he got us to move really quickly while the bingo was going on and everyone was there right from the community and so we then
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
my dad didn't say like, you know, you're going to stay with them. Okay. So that my dad went and he called my mom. And I had always thought when I was younger that my mom had went straight over to my aunt's house that night, but she couldn't have because that aunt didn't have a house line.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Today marks 31 years since my family and I were held hostage by my mother's stalker and we witnessed him take both of my parents' lives. before he took his own. One of the RCMP constables that was alerted that we were being held hostage accidentally fell back asleep after receiving the initial call.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
so she had to have stayed there in order for my dad to have called and he called to say he's here he was at bingo he went to the bingo later to find out that he had actually entered the bingo with a 22 caliber sawed-off rifle under his coat oh my gosh so he was he was serious like immediately serious so that's when my mom then went over to my aunt's house
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
because that's where the RCMP had taken her statement based off of my memory of what had followed after that. Eventually, I go to my aunt's house while these statements are being taken. But it's not unusual in a tiny community like that.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I didn't feel fear because the it's unusual, obviously, to call the RCMP, but it's not unusual to see them because one day they're community members and the next they're not. You know what I mean? So I wasn't scared by it. No adults. made me feel anything to be worried about that night.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
No, yeah. It was never like a fear for us. Maybe my older brother, obviously, he would have probably known the details. I think if, God forbid, something like that had happened, I would think that my older child would be aware of what was happening, but who knows? Right. And so then I don't like I have no memories of anything kind of afterwards.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
It's more all just court documents for the next month because I'm not made aware of it as a nine year old. And so what happened was he was arrested. that night and he was brought before a judge. Now what happened was the judge failed to, with the threat of life, he failed to order a seizure of any weapons.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And those officers never told the judge that my mom and dad's initial worry was that he had a .22 caliber rifle. They were aware of this. Like I said, it's a hunting community. You just know, like my dad would have known what kind of weapons he would have had, right? Like, just like my dad's best friend would know what my dad has because it's...
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
They didn't even mention it when he went before the judge that night. And there's, again, it's like human error. A lot of stuff was kind of blamed on human error. So those RCMP officers never did anything about it. He didn't have a seizure of weapons. He didn't have a search of his home. And he was released on bail, even though...
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
The first 911 call went in at 2.30 in the morning and the RCMP didn't enter our home until after 8.30 in the morning. And by then it was too late. My younger brother and I sat just feet away from both of our parents for several hours before the RCMP finally entered our home.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
the same RCMP, you know, dispatch or whatever station had fought bail in 1990 saying he was a danger to the community.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah, they have their, so my community doesn't have its own policing system. they have the RCMP, where Winnipeg, I believe, now has Winnipeg Police, but they also have RCMP. All little rural communities have RCMP, especially westward, and I believe eastward of Ontario, but then Ontario, we have OPP, so that's our provincial police, plus our local cities and community policing.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And also the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were put into place to control Indigenous people. That was like the very premise of this policing ever existing in the first place. So now it's, I mean, it's still there and it does, you know, like I said, provincial and then community policing as well.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah. And it wasn't technically a restraining order. I forget what the wording is, but... there was something like a restraining order put into place.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah, like my grandma, my mom's mom has always had a piece of paper
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah, and that's like a point, a great point, because I make that all the time with people, is you think of such a small community, if you just went a little down my street, especially even, I think to this day, because it hasn't built up that much, there's new homes and everything, but you could stand on my street and you could look across, there would be one street in between us, and you could see where he lived.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah. And there was no restraining order put on to stay away from my father. And there was no restraining order put on us kids either because the judge said like he didn't threaten us kids and the judge didn't feel that we were in any kind of danger from him at all. So like there's parts of that I understand, but then at the same time, I don't.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
It goes without saying my brothers and I endured a lot of trauma and unfortunately we never received proper post-traumatic care and as a result of this both of my brothers have since taken both of their lives.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So then he's released out on bail and he's, you know, free to be in our community. And because it is such a small community, community members can, like, they remembered him saying he was going to kill her. He couldn't live without her. He was going to kill my dad. He didn't want to go on if he couldn't be with my mom. Like it was this whole...
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Well, I think a lot of people were scared from what I have read, like through news articles is that people were kind of like, what were we supposed to do when we were like, I'm scared of him myself. Right. And I didn't know this about my dad because, you know, I, it was been my story for so long that I knew certain parts.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I knew the way it, you know, had kind of all A to Z kind of happened, but there was parts I didn't know in between and not until an adult, you start to reflect on it. And I remember asking my dad's friend to say like, how did my, how was my dad? Like, did he think this was going to happen? And he said, he remembered my dad being genuinely scared. He's like, I could see it in his face.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
He was scared that he was going to go through with what he had been threatening. And I mean, it shows my parents at that point had started to kind of get their affairs in order. My mom had life insurance money through her work. And they were, you know, starting to sort that out. At some point in December of 1992, my parents had heard, I don't know from who, that they, he had a revolver handgun.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
forgive me i'm not very i don't know what but i just know it's a handgun yeah okay another gun they were concerned about um and so my mom wrote the rcmp and this is after he's on bail and so she's hearing he still has a weapon okay so and so she responds to rs or rcmp she writes them
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
She writes them a letter and she tells them that she's concerned that he has a handgun and nothing is ever done with the letter. And a lot of people have asked me, like, why do you think your mom wrote a letter? I don't know. Was it because it was the 90s? Right. And you, like, picking up and calling? Did she try to pick up and call and no one...
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
like that we would never know that now um and or was she wanting it to have it in writing yeah it could just be she wanted to add it to the file to make the case even stronger for whatever was going to hopefully not but come to fruition yeah and nothing happened and then somewhere along the way my parents case lands on the desk of a crown attorney for family he is not related yeah this is not a family matter
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
no idea and as far as I know from documents that I saw was that was again it was a human error and that the Crown got the the case and then just move forward with it that there was no rhyme or reason as to why maybe there was but nothing that I've seen for documents or that I can make sense of at least anyway
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So he continued on and the next steps were mediation and mediation was not something that my parents were willing to do.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
of like oh let's all come together and agree that he's going to stop stalking her and go on his merry way right because you come together yeah to to resolve yeah the issue and so i just i never understood and it was one of those things again human error that it happened that way and so what happened at one point was there was a clerk that was an attempt position that had to mail out documents what documents i don't know i'd love to know
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
and she accidentally mailed my mother her stalker's documents, and my mother's stalker got my mom's. What specific documents, I don't know, but I just know that they received something that the others shouldn't have, and then that was at the beginning of January, so now we're in January 1993, And we're going around the 26th of January. They're supposed to have a mediation.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And my mom had decided earlier that week there was a woman in Winnipeg that was shot and killed outside of the Misericordia Hospital. And that's where my mom worked. And my mom's first instincts were to run outside and see the woman's color of her hair. And my grandma is the one who had told me this because obviously my mom was confiding in my grandma and telling her these things.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And the fact that that was her instinct because she thought her stalker mistaken this woman.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
yeah but in fact it was this woman's stalker and earlier that same week another woman was killed by her stalker in manitoba there was and again i'm not like a legal expert but there were laws that were in place but not enacted at that time to help protect women and so i do know that after that that they did move forward with that, whether that has saved more people's lives.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah. So now my mom was terrified.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
and she that was enough for her to say no I'm not going to this mediation for years I didn't know why I've told people I don't know why I think it was maybe she was scared she thought like what was the point my grandmother the same thing was kind of always saying like she always thought like what was the point that was the reasoning was she had seen what had happened and was like
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
there's no point to a mediation they've failed at them so many times up to that point so it was like maybe if i don't go they can't if she didn't go to the mediation then she could proceed with criminal um charges and that was her intention um but he was released from jail on the 26th so why was he back in jail because sorry not jail i think
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
You know, when you go to court and then you have to stand before a judge.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So you're not like arrested, but then you're released again. So he was released again after because no one came to the mediation and he was released. He this is where I talk about the drugs because I know that he was taking prescription drugs that day based off of people testifying that he did that he was taking. I don't.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
don't even know what but he was taking painkillers and then he was drinking and very cliche he had drank a bottle of sherry my mom's name was sherry and he drank a bottle of sherry and then it was just after midnight so from the 26th to the 27th my older brother was waiting for a friend They had exams. They were 17. They had exams. And you know that time between you don't have an exam.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So it's like free time.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I have two older teenagers. I've been through that where it's like they don't have they have a couple of days where they get to just hang out and hang out with their friends. We were all sleeping.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
including my parents and my brother was waiting for his friend to come over and he heard a knock at the door and so he opened up the door and on the other side of the door was my mom's stalker and he had the same .22 caliber rifle that my parents had told the police about and he held it to my brother's stomach and told him not to scream or say anything.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
yeah and then he took my brother into the basement uh and he tied him up um and he verbally tortured him with you know threats and telling my brother what he was going to do to my parents and at one point he had my brother write him a suicide letter like a will so to speak to say you know that he was sorry to his family for what he had done and that he couldn't go on anymore.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I've actually never seen the letter.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah. So he had my brother write that. I think it goes to show you the state of the mind that he was into that he was so confident to take someone into the basement yet what if my father or mother heard him in the basement. And they were sleeping the whole time, you know, so I don't think someone that was thinking straight would do that so confidently, you know, like for hours.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
They were in the basement until just before 2.30 in the morning. He had my brother down there for that long.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Just the two of them.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So my father was just shy of 38 and my mom was just shy of 37. So 36 and 37. And so they were upstairs sleeping. I was in my room and eventually he told my brother, I'm going to go upstairs and do the deed. And he left my brother in the basement and my brother heard
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
some yelling in French and then my father was shot immediately and he heard my mom screaming heard a gunshot go off and that's when my brother decided he needed to get out and go get help somehow miraculously he was able to untie himself thank
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
god that he was able to do all of that and he climbed out of his bedroom window which was in the basement uh he could have went up the stairs and out but again it was probably one of those like if i go up that door then he'll know i'm going out that door right i would imagine it's like you want to get out as sneakily as you possibly can
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah, so he snuck out and then he did make a stop at my aunt's house and I had heard different things over the years that he had stopped at my aunt's house to get boots because he didn't have any and it was January in Manitoba and like Manitoba just so people know it's it's colder than you know Churchill sometimes or the same temperature which is
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
far north manitoba it's freezing there i just got back from there it's like feels like uh it's i don't know if americans will know but it is as cold as feels like minus 48 sometimes 40 but is that celsius or fahrenheit i need the math so someone told me that they're both the same for minuses so i don't know okay yeah okay but freezing nonetheless you definitely wouldn't want to be like walking around without a booth
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
freezing so my brother i had heard that my brother had stopped and got boots and then went straight to ken and debbie's house and those are the same friends from bingo yes yeah the best friends of your parents yeah and then my best friend as well how close did they live to your house uh very close like you could from uh my bedroom window you could see their home so close enough and then my aunt was just over as well there's a rule so you know it's a lot larger
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
yards, but close enough. Right. And so he then went to their house and the first 911 call went in. Well, I will say it's not 911 at that time. It was a seven digit number because it was, you know, the 90s and it was a small community. So they didn't have 911 out in these communities.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so the first call, emergency call went in and my brother told them that he was concerned that he had entered our home, my mother's stalker, and that he heard a gunshot off and that my parents had been in court with them. My brother's words were obviously jumbled in the call. Like he just said, we're in court with him right now and that he had a gun.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
and that he was inside with my mom and my dad and his two siblings. And at the time, my younger brother had just turned six and I had turned nine at that point. And my older brother, like I said, he was 17. So we're all in the home waiting for this help. I don't even know, like really at that point. So when the gunshot went off, that's what woke me up out of bed.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yes. And when I woke up, my little brother's over here in the hallway, standing in front of his bedroom door. And my parents' door is like right next door to his and mine was here. So I'd come out and I could see him crying. And so I was like, I didn't know what was going on. And so I tried to push my parents' door open, but it did, it did like, there was resistance.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So it did open, it wasn't locked shut.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah. And so I'd imagine that was him on the other side of the door. And so I tried to push and I can't get open. Like I can't get it open and he's screaming. So like, I think that is what set off my fight or flight.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
and so I went running down the hallway and I picked up the phone to call the emergency number but my brain said call 911 and then it was the dark so I was dialing 011 instead of 911 and And then I could just see a shadow coming running towards me and I didn't know who it was, but my brain just said like, run.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so I dropped the phone and I went around the corner and I ran downstairs and I hid in the basement. And at that point, it was my mom's stalker who had run towards me. And eventually they come downstairs. It feels like it took them forever to come downstairs long enough that I was standing behind. I didn't do a good job of hiding.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I was standing behind my brother's bedroom door and he had a dresser with a mirror on it. And I'm just looking at myself in the mirror thinking,
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
what is happening what is happening like I couldn't I couldn't even think of what was happening because I mean I had never ever been exposed to any kind of violence when you're nine years old how could you even start to calibrate in your mind what the situation is and what's going on and where was your younger brother at this time upstairs still okay
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so they come down eventually and I could hear him like find her, find her, find out where she is, find her where she is. Then he started getting mad and I could hear him say, where is he? And I'm sure he was like swearing and everything else. But I don't remember because now he realizes my brother isn't in the basement either. And he is like livid.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so eventually it was my younger brother who found me. And I remember him pulling on my arm and I'm like, I'm like, no, please, no. No, no, no, don't, don't say I'm here. Don't say I'm here. And he's pulling me out. And then eventually I must go, or they must hear obviously us saying these things. And he pulls me out and we're now, we're at the bottom of the stairs and he's losing his mind.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I remember he tells my mom, you better find him. If you don't find him, you're going to, you're going to have to pick which, which one I kill between me and my younger brother. And I remember being like, I'll look for him. I'll look for him. Cause I'm like, I don't want to die. Like he's threatening. If he can't find my brother, he's going to kill me or my brother.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And my mom's like screaming at this point, like she's not going to pick who he's going to kill between the two of us. I remember looking behind the couch and and when I looked behind the couch, he followed me to look behind the couch because it was like on one of them was like on an angle.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so he walked behind it with me because he probably didn't trust because I was like, no, he's not back there and he didn't trust me. So he he did. He looked. And then at one point I walked into the storage room and I like kind of looked and I think he kind of had given up at that point.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
time of course felt like it stood still and took a lot longer how long do you think you were actively looking oh maybe 10 minutes like if that like if anything it took that long because he was looking he would follow and look behind us and where was your mother during this with us the whole time so you were all just kind of moving from area to area the four of us just like searching and uh
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So then eventually he's like he's getting mad and so that's when whatever he's doing he must have been in like kind of in the storage room like it was it was open because I'm just thinking where was he enough time that it gave my mom to whisper to me stay downstairs and call for help.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
call the police and she whispered it to me and she said she loved me and then she was like let's go upstairs to him and she was trying to separate him from us at that point I don't know what she said to get him to go upstairs but he agreed to it and that we could stay downstairs and so I went to pick up the phone and it had been ripped out of the wall and
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I thought if I plugged it in, I would get electrocuted. So I didn't put it in because at that point, I mean, I had never had to plug a phone into the wall. So I just left it and we stayed down there. And eventually I was on my knees and my younger brother was lying on the bed. And so like my hands were up like this on my brother's bed with my legs on the floor.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I just like looked at him and I remember it was so cold in the room. And that's because the window was open. It was freezing.

Yeah, it was freezing down there. So he must have realized that my brother had escaped. And my mom took him upstairs, or he did. They both went upstairs, and we stayed down there, and then we fell asleep. This was probably around 3.30 now at this point that they finally left us to go upstairs.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
my attempt and then my brother they called again they called at 3 30 and they asked where are you so the initial call i'll go back to that at 2 30 what happened and why there's such a big gap is that at 2 30 when that initial call went in the way the like chain of command goes so the dispatcher gets the call and then they they relay the call to these officers, the two officers that are on duty.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
But at the time, the Headingley Police Department where they patrol our community, they closed at 2.30. So that call, those officers were already in Winnipeg. So it closed, I believe it closed from 2.30. I don't know if it's 6.30 or 8.30, but either way it's closed at that time. And there is another community that's close by. It's called Portage La Prairie. It was actually closer than Headingley.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
a little bit by a little bit, I believe. But they don't patrol our community, only headingly police do. And so those officers receive all the information and then they have to call the constable on duty at his home because he's sleeping. So they call the constable to tell him
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
what is happening and they say by name my mom stalker because they know him yeah and they tell him that he has entered the paul residence that a gunshot had gone off um and that there was two like that who was in the house that there's kids in the house and that the brother had called for help
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yes. And that constable, his name was Constable Dunford, he said, go out to the Paul residence and see if you can talk to him. Get him to come out, secure the area, and then call me when you get there.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
and then he hung up the phone and he was a hostage negotiator for that police station and instead of calling his superiors or sending backup he hung up the phone and he then accidentally fell back asleep. So he falls asleep. And at 3.30, my brother calls again and says like, they're like, where are you? Why is it taking so long?
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And my brother also says, why a 17-year-old is thinking of these things? But he said, don't come down the road with your lights on because he'll see you coming.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
do not come down yeah you can impulsively do something right and so he um says that and they arrived just shortly after that call they i don't know if anything was said about like what their time out was but they do arrive after 3 30 in our community i guess my question is where were the people that the constable had said go out there check on things try to lure him out of the house and talk him down and then let me know like what were they doing for the past hour
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci

But, so yeah, so they come out to our community. They do make contact with my mom. And at this point, so they call and my mom talks to someone and they say like, okay, where is he? Are you hurt?

And I think even the person on the other line was a little taken back by it, just by, I have a bit of the transcript. And she was like, and they're like, what do you mean? Or something like that.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci

And my brother still has not been seen by a police officer to take his statement until 5.30. That is when they go over to, I don't know if they go to the Bowdoins or where at that point if they had evacuated the area yet. I don't believe it was evacuated. I think the chain of commands was then they took my brother to finally take his statement.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And only, I believe it was at 6 that they started to secure him. the area around our home. So people were evacuated out that lived near us.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yep. Wow. And they start to set up a command post. Now this officer who fell back to sleep, they eventually start setting up a command post. They don't even make it in our community, and there's no rhyme or reason as to why. They say it's because... The other community had the fire station so that they could set that up. What does it matter? You're not sending anyone anyway.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And as far as I know, the command station wasn't, now again, this was from a community member, that it actually wasn't even set up in the police station, that it was set up in a shop. Someone that I know that their families shop.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci

when my mom's alarm goes off because she should have been waking us up at that point for school and so when the alarm goes off I was on the bed and I hadn't yet got off the bed to hide and so I turn it off because I think oh my god he's gonna be so mad he's gonna be so mad at us for making noise I pick up the phone at some point and I call again and I ask for help.

Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yes. And the noise was him turning the gun on himself. And so he killed himself in my childhood bedroom on the floor. And I had no idea that he had done that. Otherwise, I could have told people right at that point. And so we waited.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Eventually they tried to make contact with the house but I had taken it off the hook because I was worried again that he was going to come in if he heard the phone ringing he would like you're bringing him to me.

Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Right. I do believe that Portage La Prairie was 24 hours, but for whatever reason, from my understanding is that that station would have had to initiate at them coming out like for backup right and because of that constable falling asleep he wasn't making contact with other people to let them know and there was no
Serialously with Annie Elise

So, and we weren't told that we were being put in that room to like for anything, but I just, something told me to say it or like that that's what was going to be told to us. And he's like, what do you mean? And I said, I'm not going to cry. And then they came in and they said that everyone had, that both my parents had in fact died.

Yeah. So that was like, all of my aunts were in that room except for one from my dad's side of the family because My one aunt was, she is very sensitive and so it just had to be handled in a different way to tell her. And she's like the sweetest soul so she just had to be told separately and she didn't know about anything of what was happening.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
They probably didn't want to tell her obviously until they knew what was happening. And then we were brought back to my community eventually. And all I kept saying was, I want to see Sheena. I want to see Sheena. That was my best friend. And eventually they brought her to me that night. And we just cried. Eventually the RCMP wanted to take my statement.

And so we were, I was put into my one cousin's room and it was like right behind the door. It was so weird now that I think about like where I was put. And he takes my statement and I get to the point where I say, my mom said, why do you have to shoot me? You already shot me in the eye. And he stops me and says, I'm going to stop you right there. Your mom never said that. I said, yes, she did.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I remember looking at, I don't know if it was my aunt or my uncle, but there was an adult in the room with me. And I remember looking at them like, why, like, why is he saying this to me? And I was like, yes, she did. He said, well, your mom was never shot in the eye. So I don't know why you would say that. And so I just left it at that. And it didn't dawn on me. Well, I didn't actually know.

But there wasn't really anyone that could take us on or You know, I'm sure at that point, too, it was people are do funny things with death. So it was probably a mix of like, do we fight like their family and family? Do we put the kids through this?

You know, like, I don't I don't know what any of those aunts and uncles thoughts were. But so we had to move there and we lived with my aunt. I lived with my aunt for about a year. with my brother, my younger brother. My older brother turned 18 a couple months after moving to Ontario, a few months after my parents' death.

252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so he aged out, you know, like they're not getting financial support for him anymore, and he also is 18, so he can live on his own if he wanted to. And so we lived in a tiny two bedroom home. My brother and I shared it with my older cousin and her daughter. And we lived there for about a year. So I didn't like living at my aunt's house. My uncle reminded me a lot of my mom's stalker.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
That's exactly what it was. Everyone knows everyone's business to a fault sometimes. But it's also nice because it's that community feeling It genuinely feels like home. That's just where my father had grown up as well. My mom is non-Indigenous. She grew up in St. Catharines, which is the place I call home now. And that's in Ontario, just a little bit outside of Toronto.

He was an alcoholic and he would often sit outside at this and he would just drink, and I hated it. I didn't like it at all. It brought so much back for me. And I don't remember that being the deciding factor, but eventually I do move in with my grandma. I never got to really ask my grandma, like, why did I move in with you? I remember I asked her once.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I said something like, oh, so how come I did leave? Aunt Bonnie's house. And she's like, oh, you didn't like Sid. And I was like, oh, okay. That was my uncle. And I was like, okay. And then, you know, as time went on, I kind of realized more about it, like the depths of like watching his behavior and it being so close to my mom's stalker.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Even though it wasn't like I was around my mom stalker a lot, it just, as a kid, it's a trigger, right? And I didn't like it. My brother, though, had to stay there. And I move in with my grandma. And she lived just around the corner. My younger brother and I still went to the same elementary school and everything.

252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And yeah, so I barely got to see my older brother, though, because he didn't live with us.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I mean, I don't know. I've been 18, too. And, you know, my younger brother wasn't exactly my priority either to be around. And so when I did get to see my older brother, it was like it was always that same feeling when I first saw him at the hospital. It was that same feeling every time because it just like it was nice to have him.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci

But I always was, always wanted to go home to Manitoba. And so I'm so grateful because, you know, my grandma always made it a priority for me to be able to go back. And I would spend every summer back in Manitoba.

I got to finish high school out in Manitoba with all of my friends out there. Not to say I didn't have the most amazing friends and relationships in Ontario. It was hard because I wanted to be with my friends there and it took me a long time. I actually spent a few summers in Manitoba and I never came back to Ontario.

One summer I thought, okay, I'm going to come back and I got to hang out with all my friends again. And I go back to Ontario, I went back to Manitoba. And then I remember like, talking with my friend of mine and her just saying like, you know, if your grandpa's not doing well, why don't you move back to Ontario? It doesn't have to be permanent, just move back. And I said, okay.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So I do make my way back to Ontario with the intention of that I would eventually move back. And I don't. I stay. And then I eventually meet in a short period of time my now husband. And we have our kids and we raise them and just, I don't know, I live life and we started, you know, establishing roots there together.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So if you had asked anyone in Manitoba if I would be living in Ontario now, they would say, no way, absolutely not.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. No, it didn't, it didn't affect me like that. And, and I mean, my husband is, he's just amazing partner and so supportive. And he always, he had been since like the beginning of our relationship too, because the whole reason why I had moved back to Ontario was also my grandfather wasn't doing well, but I was turning 18.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And when I turned 18, I would then inherit my parents' life insurance money, right? And so my aunt picked her up and we made our way on my 18th birthday to the bank. And just before we got to the bank, she said, like, she let me drive almost all the way to the bank. And she looked at me and said, I don't know how to tell you this, but there is no money and we spent it all.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
what spent it on what nothing because they had to claim bankruptcy at that point she was like living in but because she was the legal guardian she had access to the she wasn't supposed to have legal access she was not the money was held in trust for us but a judge in saint catherine's allowed her to access that money oh my gosh
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci

Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Probably like younger than I can even remember. So he was a part of the community. So he himself was also raised there. And I want to also mention when I say normal, I also say that to kind of get people to question what they think when something bad happens to someone, does it really matter if they lived in, quote, a normal life? That's a great point.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I was just bawling and she was like, what's the matter? And I said, it's all gone. And my grandma looked at me and she's like, can I swear? Yeah, you can swear. She said, I fucking knew it. I knew it.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
the reason their fracture come to find out the only reason my aunt let me move back to Manitoba was not because she gave a shit about how I felt it was because if I wasn't in the province my grandma couldn't get legal custody of me and my aunt would remain my guardian and my grandma would never find out about well I don't know what my aunt thought I was turning 18 eventually yeah like I don't know she thought she was gonna get some money and she could pay it back or
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So my grandma, you know, come to find out that's why she didn't want me to leave. She was like, it's not because I didn't want you to go there. I couldn't, you couldn't, I had to be here. You had to be here with me. And so then that started like a whole thing of another court process. So one thing I didn't mention was there was an inquiry.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
right, into my parents' death as well and the police misconduct. So we had to, our family had to go through two different like kind of court situations.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
An inquiry? I'm not, I don't know because an inquiry is usually, from my understanding, is it something like more in depth that they're like looking at all the, I mean, maybe it's a civil suit as well.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Right, yeah. And that happened way before I had turned 18. That happened just shortly after my parents' death. And so in that whole process, they looked at if the RCMP had actually not fallen asleep, the one officer, would it have moved things along quickly? Would that have saved my mother's life? My father would have died regardless.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
they you know they just kind of brought everything to human error with the court documents and the crown attorney with family law and just all of the letter not being filed it was it seemed like they just kind of always backed it with that it was human error and so no one was being no one not one person was held accountable at all. The judge, the judge for the case came out to our family home.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I think that's because I don't know if it was my uncle or my brother. Someone had asked him, like, come out, come out and see that they could have taken a clear shot with SWAT, that they could have a sniper could have shot through the window. But they argued, no, that, however, you know, a couple of panes of glass
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
that and that far of distance would it have shot like and killed him and i just think nowadays like that would not fly because like that they would be able to do that right like but i understand things were different in the 90s and um had they made it there in time had you know they acted more quickly what what if anything could have changed the judge eventually um blames the townspeople uh he said that they should have done more to help protect my parents
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I don't know why it would be townspeople's land on them to protect our family. One police officer took the stand and said that only my mother knew the danger she was in. He insinuated that there was more happening between my mom and her stalker, which... Like an affair?
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Because I think so many people think, oh, that was deserving. Oh, that was like part of their social like group of people. and they don't question sometimes, it happens to everyone. So my mom's stalker, I honestly, I feel like there was in a time that I don't really remember him. He was in our life to a certain degree. Like I remember my people telling me afterwards that my mom's stalker
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
I don't know of an affair but like he because he doesn't say that I don't know how he says it but he likes it just insinuates that there was more that if she was in such danger then like why didn't she do more I again I don't know what more
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah. And so they, so nothing, nothing was, no one was held accountable at all in our family's case. And I get often asked now, like, why don't you, you know, why don't you take them to court? It's like, one, I couldn't. And two, like, what could be done?
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And also, now it's so long, nothing could be done because I'm sure a lot of the documents have been destroyed and, you know, people aren't serving still as officers, like, really. who could be held accountable.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah.

So, to go back a little to my aunt, when we lived there initially with her, there was a process to bring us to therapy. It was a place-based therapy, and we went. And I always, when I speak and I share my story and advocate, I was always generous.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
always generous up until last year and I would say we received one play-based therapy that I remember that was me and my younger brother because my older brother turned 18 so like there was no criminal compensation you get criminal compensation because then at the time like this is my understanding is that what my my aunt would get it and then that could go towards like our therapy if we if we needed it we had to be deemed that
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
We needed it in the first place.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Right. And so we went, and I would always say we had one for sure, maybe two. And it was one. Come to find out, I was right that it was one because we went to one. And then my aunt got the CPP for us and that check never went to therapy. We were never given any therapy after that.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so like my older brother, I can't, I can't speak for what either of them went through or felt or any of those things, because I always say to people like, yes, we all went through the same thing.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
like night we all lost our parents the same way but we all lived completely different things and there's gonna be things that had come up for them or me even at different parts of our life like it wasn't until just a couple years ago that i got so hard on myself because i thought why didn't you run up the stairs and go out that door it was right there you could have taken your brother out
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Right there. And then we would never have had to go upstairs. My brother wouldn't have had to see my dad.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
No, but it's like, those are the things that I think that people don't always think about. Like, oh, well, like, how come you're me, quote, okay, but maybe they weren't. And it's like, yeah, but it's different. Like, we're all going to process things differently. Yeah. And so at the age of 29, my older brother, Carson, my husband and I were dating at that time. And we had went out.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
We have a festival in St. Catharines. And we went to that festival. And I saw one of my brother's friends out. And he said, where's Carson? Where's Carr? And I was like, I don't know. I thought he'd be here with you. My brother didn't like, it's not like I thought I would see him out all the time, but this was a festival that maybe he'd be at. And he was like, no, you should call him.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
at one point because it is a Metis community. They are mostly Catholic communities. And so we were raised Catholic in this community and my father was as well. And that my parents had had the priest over even with him one time to try to help him on like the straight and narrow. I know that the media also coined him the town bully because of how he was within the community.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I was like, yeah. And, you know, I kind of left it at that. And then I went back to my husband's house. And in the morning I had a million, what feels like a million missed calls. I looked at my phone and they were only from my grandma's house and from my brother's house, my older brother's house, because my younger brother now lived with my grandma because of my aunt taking the money.
Serialously with Annie Elise

I'm going to go home. I'm going to get ready. And then I'm going to go, I'm going to go to one of their houses.

And something said, just get out and go.

And I stood on like the front of the yard and I was like, who is it? And they just all were looking at me like, who's going to tell her? And I was like, just screaming, who is it? And finally, my cousin Shane It was really close with my brother. He said, Carson. That was it. I think I went to leave and I think someone was like, no, no, don't go. And then eventually I go inside.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I remember my younger brother hugging me and I couldn't hug him back. I was just like, don't touch me. Do not touch me. And he was hugging me and I just was like dead in his arms and I felt so bad. But I was like, I can't hug you. Like, I just didn't want, I didn't want anyone to touch me. And that's when I found out he had killed himself. And it was just, like, awful.

And that's when I like really started to like piece together more of, you know, what had happened and the injustice that my family had to go through. It was only at the closing ceremonies, and I often share this, that I realized I was sitting there and I thought the whole time I thought I was an imposter. Like, why am I here? Like, I'm indigenous, but my mom's not indigenous. It was my dad.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
But this is an inquiry, is not an inquiry for indigenous men, although I will say that indigenous men are murdered and missing, I believe it's at a higher rate than Indigenous women. And there is no inquiry as of yet. I know that people are fighting for one. And so it's, and I'm not taking away from Indigenous women or girls, so I hope anyone, you know, doesn't take it that way.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
But my dad was Indigenous and he was murdered. And so it was at the closing ceremonies that I grabbed my husband's leg and I whispered to him. I said, oh, I get it. And he's like, you get what? I was like, I'm the girl. I should have died. I shouldn't be here. Or I also shouldn't know anything about my culture. my background or be connected to my community. And so like that really stuck with me.

In November and on November 12th and I had started a fundraiser that had started back before he died. So the year that I was turning 38, it was going to be a really hard year because at that time, my younger brother was still alive, but I was officially going to be the first person in my family to turn 38 because my mom, my dad, and my brother all died before.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So I started a fundraiser and it was like it was a crutch for me to like not have to think about it and I thought if I start a fundraiser and it wasn't for me to be clear the fundraiser was a GoFundMe I started and it was celebrate Indigenous resilience I thought I'm going to celebrate the fact that I'm here because I love to self-sabotage thank you trauma

252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And I hated my birthday, like I love my birthday, but I hated it. Like, it's like a really weird place for me. So I thought if I start this fundraiser, and the funds were going to go to two Indigenous organizations. One was my hometown community, like for the youth, the Indigenous youth there, they could use it for whatever they wanted.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
no red tape, no grants, no like writing proposals for funds that they know they need. And then the other money was half of it was going to go to Abbey House, which is a transitional home in St. Estache for Indigenous women with or without children. And I thought, can I start this fundraiser? It's going to be, we're going to raise $3,800 because I'm turning 38.

I was like, no one's going to care if I'm going to press enter. No one's cared so far. The history proves it. Who's going to donate? I want and then I'm going to make these organizations like

I'm going to feel bad that I'm going to promise like I'm going to do this fundraiser. Nothing's going to come about it. Something came over me and I press enter. And within 24 hours, we raised ten thousand dollars. And then it kept going. And to date, I think the GoFundMe has it's just shy of one hundred and ten thousand dollars.

And if I don't use that, then what's it for? Because I'd say like my story had used me for so long. And now I'm going to use the shit out of my story.

I'm very lucky. And then for where people can find me and everything. So I had mentioned the inquiry. So if people want to look up the national inquiry as for missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, two-spirited LGBTQQIA plus folks. You can find that online. And then you can also find the final report. So in the final report, it gives all the findings. It's not this big document.

A lot of people think like, oh gosh, I don't want to read that. It's done in such a beautiful way. And it's done in a storytelling way. And I want people to know when they're reading it, you're reading real stories. And there's calls for justice. So there's 231 calls for justice that families and survivors have asked of the government and folks. And so in there, there are 13 for Canadians.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
So for any Canadian listeners, there's 13. It's quite simple. Like they are laid out. And they can be applied in the States too, because unfortunately, MMIWG doesn't,

I don't like I wouldn't even say he came to dinner. That's how little. Yeah. And I would say that I tried to use the term loosely with him being friends with my dad because I wouldn't say that he was friends with him. But it's one of those community things that I don't know, maybe one person thought he was friends with him at one point. Right.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Yeah.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Right. So he had, before he even became fixated on my mother, I know that there was a case where he had held a woman hostage. yeah wait what and he wasn't ever arrested or held in jail or no okay tell me about that yeah i think he was i believe for that case he was arrested and then they the rcmp there is a case that they had fought bail in 1990 for him
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
saying that he was a danger to the community if he was released out on bail. And I believe that that is when he had held the woman hostage, but that news article doesn't mention that he had held a woman hostage in that one. So I don't know what the case was specifically. And so... It was now fast forward to 1992.

252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And this is for my memory of when things started to shift was I'm going to assume that before that he had done things to make my mom feel uncomfortable to put up the boundary she did this day. because we, and I remember this, we got ready. It was just my dad, my mom and I, and we were heading to Winnipeg.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
My mom worked at a hospital in Winnipeg and it was one of the physician's birthdays who she was friends with. So the three of us were going to this birthday party. I got really sick in the car and they had to turn the car around. And then I stayed home with my dad. I remember my dad saying like, no, no, you go to Winnipeg and I'll stay home with Fallon.
Serialously with Annie Elise
252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
And so we stayed at home and then it must have been the very next day because it coincides my mom's stalker and this physician had the same birthday. And so then the next day he called and said, you know, where were you? And he must have got wind that my parents and I or whatever, my mom, at least we're going to this party. And he got upset about it. And he said, where's my birthday cake?

252: The Viral TikTok of a Stalker & Family Massacre... Now She's Telling It All | Fallon Farinacci
Just that he felt, like, entitled to your mom's attention and affection. Yeah, and that was it for him. He was offended by what she said, and he made the threat. And then right away, that's when my mom called the RCMP because she was taking it quite seriously, especially someone like that. And who knows, like, I think back, maybe...
