Vancouver鈥檚 unofficial winged ambassador has been missing for almost three months now and his disappearance has become quite the 鈥渕urder mystery.鈥� Canuck hasn鈥檛 been seen at his usual East 麻豆传媒映画hangout spot since Aug. 30 and a $10,000 reward is being offered for the Federally protected crow鈥檚 safe return.
A 麻豆传媒映画fan of the L.A. based podcast sent the hosts of the show a letter about Canuck鈥檚 intriguing story and they read it out in a podcast episode 鈥�
If you鈥檙e not familiar, it鈥檚 a weekly true crime comedy podcast hosted by American comedians Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark.
The short segment was later turned into a hilarious , which was released online Nov. 25. The episode summarizes Canuck鈥檚 quick rise to fame, leading with the bird stealing a knife from a crime scene back in 2016. It then goes on to mention his mischievous behaviour, including riding the transit system and taking people鈥檚 belongings, before highlighting his disappearance.
Nick Terry, an animator and podcaster, from Seattle, W.A., put the clever video together. He has been based on the 鈥楳y Favourite Murder鈥� podcast for the past year, releasing a new animation once a month. He makes the videos with support from the fans of the MFM podcast.

While there have been rumours the bird has died, has been crow-napped, released far from 麻豆传媒映画or even taken as a pet, fans of the believe there鈥檚 no evidence to make a final call, just yet.
There was a potential sighting of the celebrity bird in Yaletown in late October, but nothing concrete has been determined as to Canuck鈥檚 whereabouts.
Shawn Bergman, who runs the Facebook page and is widely known as the bird鈥檚 human best friend, is still 鈥渉olding out hope鈥� Canuck will find his way home.
