the Disappearance of Mekayla Bali Part 1 with Paula Bali

In April 2016, sixteen-year-old Mekayla Bali vanished from Yorkton, SK after a day marked by strange movements, unsettling interactions, and a timeline that remains one of the most detailed and puzzling in any Canadian missing persons case. Over the years, this story has continued to evolve and Mekayla’s disappearance has stayed in the public eye through surveillance video releases, reported sightings, and the relentless efforts of her family to find answers. Now, on the 10th anniversary of her disappearance, this two-part series presents a fully re-edited and updated version of prior Canadian Gothic episodes on the case, bringing together the known timeline, the key developments, and the questions that still remain unanswered. In part one we are joined by Mekayla’s mother, Paula Bali, who shares her perspective on the investigation, the challenges of navigating years without answers, and her ongoing fight to keep Mekayla’s story alive.
