Ardeth Woods - The victim whose death 'touched the heart of a city'.'She turned out to be the smartest one of the bunch, ' said Ardeth's dad, Brendon. 'She managed to get scholarships through Masters and PHD programs.' Neither he, nor his wife, nor her brothers could conceive of the tragedy which was to follow when twenty-seven-year-old Ardeth decided to go for a bike ride through one of Ottawa's extended parklands. They could not envisage that she would be dragged from her bike, abducted, and murdered, forcibly drowned by Chris Myers, a twenty-two-year-old sexual predator who sought out and attacked young women he encountered alone.
