Abigail Robson says she moved from Nova Scotia to Alberta as a young girl with her mother 10 years ago for a fresh start.
"But I think for her, it was a bit harder coming from such a small town," Robson said of her mother, Ashley Burke, in a recent interview.
"Did we get a fresh start? Yeah. But did it end how I think we both wanted it to? No."
Burke was one of two women in Alberta who police say were killed by their intimate partners in the final days of 2024. Her body was found on a bank of the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton on Dec. 30.
"It's important to tell my mom's story because this isn't just my mom's story," Robson said. "This has happened to many other women."
