The sister of a woman murdered in 2014 is pleading for the return of her only copy of a book manuscript she鈥檚 been writing for more than two years.
Delilah Saunders says the nearly-complete book about her relationship with Loretta Saunders was on her Macbook, which she believes was stolen from her Halifax apartment while she was sleeping in August.
鈥淚t's very devastating,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 re-lived a lot of memories that were very difficult to conjure up.鈥�
Saunders said she doesn鈥檛 care about the computer and just wants her manuscript returned. She said she has a contract with a publisher and will re-write the book if needed.
鈥淚'm quite depressed,鈥� she added. 鈥淭his is something that is priceless.鈥�
Loretta Saunders, an Inuk woman from Labrador, was murdered in February 2014. The Saint Mary鈥檚 University student had been working on a thesis related to missing and murdered aboriginal women when she was killed.
Victoria Henneberry and Blake Leggette, who had been renting a room from Saunders in Halifax, pleaded guilty to her murder in April. Henneberry has since said she wants the conviction overturned.
Saunders said her book was about the two sisters鈥� relationship, 鈥渂ut it's also about the experience of losing her and going through the judicial process.鈥�
Halifax Regional Police said they investigated the robbery reported on Aug. 31, but the case has been closed due to the fact that there are no suspects.
