Hi, my name is Habiba Nosheen, and I'm hosting a new show that we think you might like.
We'd like to share it here.
For everyone who loved the clearing, it's a story filled with secrets about a woman who one day just dropped off the face of the earth and no one noticed that she was gone for nine years.
It's called the disappearance of Nuseiba Hassan, and this is our first episode.
You can hear the rest of the series for free on Spotify.
Here we go.
On the morning of October 31, 2016, police descend on a farm in southern Ontario.
For the next five days, dozens of officers in bright green, high visibility jackets spread out over a massive property, some on horses, some on foot.
They search every inch of the barn, dig up the fields, and go through the woods with the hope that the walls, the trees, and the grass might betray the secrets that they've held for nearly ten years.
So you're looking for a body?
We are looking for evidence, and a body would be one thing.
This is the detective in charge of the search speaking to reporters tomorrow.
What's going to be happening is the OPP are going to be coming with ground penetrating radar, the cadaver dogs, we're going to have the drone flying over as well.
What they were hoping for was anything that might help them solve the mystery of what happened to a 26 year old Nuseiba Hasan, who one day just vanished.
We believe that Nasiba has met with foul play, and as this was the last place she was known to be alive, it's a good starting point for us.
When this search was happening, I had no idea what was going on.
I'd never heard of Nasaiba Hasan, had never set my eyes on this farm in Hamilton, Ontario.
In fact, I didnt see the name Nuseiba Hassan until three years after the search, when I found myself reading an email from an anonymous sender in the spring of 2019.
So I should say, im an investigative reporter, and I get a lot of emails telling me to investigate things, you know, like how the canadian prime minister is using secret technology to control peoples minds, stuff like that.
But this email was different.
