'I've felt guilty ever since,' said Kevin Freedman, who is on a quest to find the woman whose light-colored Ford Taurus went missing from a Winnipeg swimming pool in 1998.
Kevin Freedman in his lifeguarding days, and today. By Antonia Noori Farzan Antonia Noori Farzan Reporter for the Morning Mix Email Bio Follow April 11 at 6:11 AM Everyone has that one memory that still weighs on their conscience, years or even decades later. For Kevin Freedman, a 38-year-old governance consultant and member of the business faculty at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, it involves a Slurpee run and a stolen Ford Taurus.
McKie’s car was a light-colored 1990s Ford Taurus, which was “every second or third car on the road” at the time, Freedman said. He spotted it in the parking lot right away. The windows were down, and the doors were unlocked. The car wouldn’t start on the first try, but he drove away without thinking much of it.
For several minutes, Freedman stood there, fumbling helplessly with the keys. Then, a group of parking patrol officers showed up. Later that night, long after McKie had left work, Freedman noticed that her car was still sitting in the parking lot. Panicked and wracked with guilt, he concluded that he must have damaged it so badly that she hadn’t been able to drive home. His co-worker had just been trying to do a nice thing, and, in exchange, he had ruined her car.He was in the middle of teaching a swimming lesson the next day when McKie walked in. Immediately, the apologies started pouring out.
“The police probably thought she was nuts, and she probably thought she was a little nuts, and after 20 years I just want to let her know she’s not,” he said. “It really happened.”
