Denise Pochinko created a page about the case on Facebook in 2013, but the emotional toll was too much. After receiving support from a church community, she has reactivated the account and is looking for any information
Denise Pochinko, whose mother, Jackaleen Dyck, was murdered in Winnipeg on Oct. 4, 1980, looks over some news clippings and family photos in her home in Winnipeg Beach, Man., on Nov. 21, 2019.Denise Pochinko remembers waking up and hearing the screams. She hid under blankets with her sister until sirens drowned out their panicked breathing.Their mother, Jackaleen Dyck, was viciously attacked in her bedroom not far from where the two girls huddled in fear.
“My ideal situation is finding out the truth,” Pochinko says. “I’d love to learn the truth about who she was, even gain a better understanding of who I am.” That horrific night created a ripple effect. Pochinko says she has always felt as if things could be torn away at any moment, so she has clung tightly to unhealthy relationships even when it wasn’t good for her.She points to paperwork declaring her mother’s death. Nearby, yellowed newspaper article headlines declare reward money for information about the killer, which has since expired.
They described how Dyck, a friend, her nephew and her two daughters were asleep in the small home. About 4 a.m., the friend was awoken by frantic calls for help before he saw someone run out the back door. He found Dyck bleeding in bed.
