In this multi-part series the death of Sia Van Wyck is explored.
On July 19th of 2017, seven year old Sia Van Wyck was killed by a man driving a combine tractor while playing in a field in rural Nova Scotia. An RCMP investigation deemed the death a tragic accident that was not criminal in nature however her family, her supporters, and their respected private investigator believe the investigation was fundamentally flawed from the start and had it been handled properly things may have likely turned out very differently.
In this episode we are joined by Sia’s mom Effie.

This story takes us to Pickering, Ontario
During the early morning hours of March 17th, 1995 a group of six teenagers leave a house party in the area with plans to "goof around" at a nearby marina.
Security cameras at the Marina show three of the boys enter the area just prior to 2am. They, nor the other three boys they left the party with, have ever been seen again.
The only evidence suggesting their possible whereabouts was two reports of stolen watercraft.
In this episode of Nighttime, I've invited Canadian crime content creator Madelayne Klein to help me try and understand what may have happened to the Pickering Lost boys.

Then 26 year old civil engineer Andrew Gnazdowsky and a co-worker were on site completing a survey of a Nova Scotia Power dam near Sheet Harbour in October of 2020.
When a technology failure disrupted their work, Andrew made the fateful decision to enter the water and collect the failed equipment.
Moments later, Andrew would briefly yell for help before ultimately disappearing below the still water.
In the year since Andrew's tragic death, the Gnazdowsky's have been steadfast in their belief that the investigation into Andrew's death has been at best flawed and at worst completely compromised… and it's not just a hunch that tells them that.
Conflicts of interest, erroneous death records, the scrubbing online records, bureaucratic flip flopping, and opportunistic politicians...
This story has all of it.
In this episode we catch up with Nicole Gnazdowsky with a conversation recorded only days before a verdict is rendered in an trial against Nova Scotia Power related to Andrew Gnazdowsky’s death.

This episode takes us to the city of Toronto, Ontario
More specifically it take us onto the many trains, buses and street cars that rumble their way around it.
The TTC, or the Toronto Transit Commission, is the public transit system that services Toronto's diverse population. Using a mix of subways, buses, and street cars the TTC is Canada's largest public transit system.
With nearly 2 million riders a day, the TTC serves as the setting for many of life’s events; babies born onboard, the first moments of countless love stories, and of course there is murder… and that's what we will be discussing.
In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Canadian Crime video creator Madelayne Klein to discuss four stories of random, unprovoked Murder on the Toronto Transit System.

This episode takes us to Prince George, British Columbia.
On the evening of August 1, 1989 Ronnie and Doreen Jack went to their neighbourhood pub looking for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Instead, they found a mystery man with an enticing job offer that would forever change their lives and the lives of everyone who loved them.
Ronnie would do logging, Doreen could help in the kitchen, and their two kids would be taken care of at the remote camps daycare facility. Transportation wouldn't be a problem either, the mystery man could drive them to the camp that night.
The last time any member of the Jack family was seen was only a few short hours later… packing some of their belongings in a truck.
In this episode of Nighttime, I've invited Canadian crime content creator Madelayne Klein to help me try and understand what may have happened to the Jack Family.

In the early morning hours of November 25, 2012, 3rd year Mount Allison student Chris Metallic ended a night of partying with friends.
A belly full of alcohol played a part in his decision to leave the party, and certainly played a part in him leaving his shoes and wallet behind… that was going to be a problem to solve the next morning. Wearing borrowed sandals Chris just wanted to go home and sleep it off.
Over 10 years later.. Chris still hasn't arrived home and the trail he left behind doesn't offer much to go on.
In this episode of Nighttime, I’m joined by Canadian Crime video creator Madelayne Klein to discuss the disapperance of Chris Metallic.

At some point during the early morning of July 5, 2004, 5 year old Tamra Keepness seems to have simply vanished from her home.
The facts of that evening, as well as the behaviours of the adults responsible for Tamra's care, are more than a bit hazy. Alcoholism, drug abuse, sex work, and domestic violence all find their way into Tamra's last known night and all obscure the trail she left behind.
But if one thing is for certain, it's that Tamra’s family has far from given up on her.
In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Canadian crime video creator Madelayne Klein to discuss the disappearance of Tamra Keepness.
