I really loved music and I really loved playing the horn.
She started to think it would have been fun if we could play together. And so she really begged me to start playing. So she did. I just started and I just had this longing. And so I got back into playing the horn again.
You go down this kind of awkward staircase into this basement, and there was kind of a stage at the end. It was just like a big, open, empty, cold room. And I just remember trying to figure out where I was going to sit, and everyone in the room was new to me. There was a musty smell.
It kind of was a dark, dank, kind of cold church basement. But, you know, the people were friendly, and... But again, I was just so focused on trying to get set up and play my horn and was all worried about whether I had the skill level to even be there. The organizer stood up to welcome the musicians. And he introduced two new members. First, Anne-Marie.
Then... And I looked back and I was just kind of stunned. I thought he was dead. Like I really, in my mind, he couldn't exist. Like he couldn't exist if I existed. It's like seeing a ghost.
We can't move forward as individuals or as a society if we keep this stuff secret. Keeping this secret has not done anyone any good.
But this whole journey begins with just one woman and one story. Episode one, The Ghost.
Okay. San Marie Robinson. And we are in Ottawa.
Yes.
I would like what I would consider a proper full investigation. She wants answers. I want to do it because I want to understand what happened to me. I want to know if I'm alone or not, if there's other victims. And she's done her homework. You know, by having listened to the band played on, I kind of knew that you had a sensitivity in this area, which was good.
Okay. Well, I was born in Toronto. My mom was a single mother and she was just trying to get by and make ends meet.
Well, in high school, all I did was band. You know, being in the band and being a French horn player, I had wanted at the time to become a professional musician.
I just loved the music. Yeah, I loved the music. She even skipped a grade. I was supposed to be in grade 10. I was in grade 10, and I was supposed to be in grade 10 music, but Walker put me into grade 11 music.
He had kind of short blonde hair. He was a bit overweight and tall. the band leader. He was like one of the kids. You know, he hung out with kids, it seems. I kind of associate him more with hanging out with the kids than his colleagues. Which at the time, you know, we thought he was cool because of that. But now it just seems kind of odd to me.
He would have been in his late 20s, maybe almost 30.
Her dark brown hair was feathered. Oh, I had Farrah Fawcett hair and I was super proud of that. I would get up every morning and do those big sausage rolls on my head. She became the music teacher's favourite. He paid a lot of attention to me and all the other kids in the school had to share French horns and put them away at night and then sign them out if they wanted to take them home.
And he used his budget to buy me a horn.
We were on a school field trip to Belleville, a band trip. And we were all drinking alcohol and Mr. Walker provided the alcohol.
Kind of the first thing I remember was being in a hotel room in Belleville.
She was alone with the teacher. And then next thing I remember is he was standing over me in his black underwear. And we had intercourse.
