A starlight tour is a practice of police arresting Indigenous people and rather than bringing them to the station in town, police drop them off at the edge of the city. The police take their warm clothes in the middle of a winter night in Canada and force them to walk home. Often resulting in them freezing to death. Then we cover a story that started with a string of home invasions and robberies that began happening in 2008. Each time, two masked men were involved and were careful not to leave any evidence behind, so police had very little to go on in terms of suspects. When the perpetrators escalated by killing Karissa and Karen Lofton, and Delores and Ebony Dewitt - the police created a task force to solve the double murder.

We got to hang out "backstage" in the green room of the Tom Skinner Skyline Festival and interview some great people. This is the first of two episodes. We got to talk to John "Doc" Fell and his lovely wife Kira, and with Nellie Clay, Jason Scott, and Jacob Dement. Our good friend Rick Owens sat in as well.

It was a great day of music, family, food and fun as we celebrated the life and legacy of Tom Skinner.
