On May 6, 2020, three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished while playing in his grandmother’s backyard in Truro, Nova Scotia
His grandmother claims she had briefly turned away to leash a dog, and in that fleeting moment, Dylan disappeared.
A massive search followed, but the only trace ever found were his two rubber boots—discovered caught in debris in a shallow brook not far from the property.
With little progress in finding Dylan, the case has taken on a life of its own online. Fueled by speculation and emotion, it has become a magnet for conspiracy theories, unrelenting armchair detectives, disturbing ransom hoaxes, and a cyberbullying case that ended up before the courts.
In this series, we explore all of it—from the facts of Dylan’s disappearance to the chaos that followed.
In part one, we are going to be joined by Dylan's father, Jason Ehler, and our topic is his missing son, three year old Dylan Ehler.

When scrolling through the news over my morning coffee, I found myself face to face with what can only be described as the most controversial garden in St. Catharines, Ontario.
When Christina and Matt designed their garden, they started by purchasing two large wooden coffins, placing them in their yard and filling them with soil.
As it turned out their neighbours didn't share the same taste.
A complaint to by law enforcement would begin the most interesting garden or bylaw enforcement story the town of St. Catharines Ontario has ever seen.
Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we are going to be joined by the homeowners, turned gothic freedom fighters, Christina and Matt... and our topic is the most controversial garden in St. Catharines Ontario.

This story is going to take us to an alleyway in Surrey, BC.
On an otherwise uneventful night, in August of 2017, something horrible happened there. Despite the passage of time and tremendous efforts we still don't know what happened exactly, but when the dust settled 19 year old Tanner Krupa was dead.
Tanner had only been in Surrey for a handful of days, there for a short work trip. Just a 19 year old who stepped out to grab something at a near by convenience store and somehow ends up dead in an alleyway hours later.
The only evidence left behind is images on a nearby security camera showing two white vehicles fleeing the scene. The vehicles, nor their occupants, have yet to be identified.
In tonight's episode, we are going to be joined by the hosts of True North True Crime for a discussion surrounding Tanner's unsolved murder.

In the past Nighttime has spent a considerable amount of time discussing the stories of strange lights in our skies.
We may get to some of them tonight as well but rather than focusing on the lights in the sky, in this episode, we are going to consider what happens when the damn things crash to the ground.
In this episode of Nighttime, Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski and I discuss Canada’s history with UFO crashes and review some recent UFO reports submitted via the UFOs Above Canada Facebook group.

Listeners of Nighttime, consider this episode a sort of public service.
This episode has the power to ease the minds of many people out there who feel they have witnessed a fleet of alien invaders in the skies above Canada.
The story usually manifests itself in one of two ways; it's either a photo showing a series of aerial lights in a straight line, or a witness account from someone who saw a series of objects flying one after the other in a sort of liner formation.
Well, if you see this type of photo or hear this story don’t immediately rush to your emergency shelter.
ELON MUSK, the billionaire inventor and entrepreneur may very well be behind in.
In fact, Elon musk may be partly responsible for the rise in Canadian UFO reports.
In this episode of Nighttime, Canadian UFO researcher and data analyst Chris Rutkowski will tell us about Elon Musk’s Starlink Satellite Constellation and what role it plays in the rise in UFO reports.

Amanda Todd was still a child when she began to share her love of singing with viewers around the world on Youtube. Perhaps she was hopeful that she would be discovered like Justin Bieber, another Canadian youtuber, recently had.
Like Justin, Amanda too found a sort of fame as a result of sharing her talents. Tragically, Amanda is known around the world not for her voice or her charm but as a cautionary tale about the evils that lurk all around us.
As we know now, one of the people who was moved by Amanda's performances managed to sneak into her personal life, and infiltrate her inner circle. When Amanda shared an intimate photo, the anonymous predator would begin an odyssey of sextortion, harassment, and cyber stalking that would end in Amanda's death.
Since taking her own life, over 50 million people have heard Amanda's story, largely as a result of a viral video she made shortly before her death. In the video, shot on a webcam in black and white, Amanda shares the her story by flipping through a series of index cards as she visibly sobs.
Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we are going to hear Amanda's story by someone who has stood by Amanda through it, and still to this day carries on her search for justice, and continues her legacy.
Our guest is Amanda Todd's mother, and well known internet safety and mental health advocate, Carol Todd.

In the last episode, my guest Ian Rogers spoke both about his experiences investigating the Guardian case as well as the route this story took to being featured on a major CBC Documentary ‘UFO Town’.
When I was putting that episode together I learned that my friend, and past guest of the show, Chris Rutkowski was one of the ufo investigators who received Guardian's mailings back in the 80s and 90s.
I also learned that Chris was invited, but declined, to participate in ‘UFO TOWN’.
I thought Chris would be the perfect person to invite here to help me both further break down the case, and discuss the UFO town documentary.
In this episode Christ Rutkowski and I discuss CBCs ‘UFO TOWN’ and the strange strange world of “THE GUARDIAN”

the Carp, Ontario UFO case widely centers on an anonymous whistle blower using the name 'Guardian' who for a period in the early 90s sent strange packages to UFO researchers around the world claiming that world government’s were attempting to cover up the crash of an extraterrestrial craft just outside of Ottawa in Carp, Ontario. The packages included a rambling manifesto, photographs of purported aliens, and perhaps most interesting, a vhs tape containing video of what was supposed to be a flying saucer.
Despite significant attempts Guardian was never identified.
in fact.. they are still trying.
Our guest is just the fella to walk as through this case.
Ian Rogers is a present day author, but in the early 90s when the investigation into the guardian case was active, Ian was a teenage UFO investigator who managed to walk right into the middle of one of Canada's most bizarre cases.
In this episode, Ian shares the stranger than fiction story of the Carp, Ontario “Guardian” UFO Case.

Lisa Marie Young was a 21-year-old indigenous Canadian who disappeared from Nanaimo, British Columbia on June 30, 2002.
Lisa had spent her last known night at a local nightclub and several house parties, before accepting a ride to a fast food restaurant from a man she had just met. Her final communication was a series of distressing messages she sent to a friend suggesting she was being held against her will.
Although Young has never been found, her disappearance is being investigated as a homicide.
