Craig MacDonald Apr 18, 2022

Show notes

Craig MacDonald, a 43-year-old Scarborough man, was known for his generosity and kindness. He was a father of 5 children with 2 stepchildren and a grandchild.

On the evening of October 13, 2021, Craig watched a hockey game with friends. Craig then stopped into a local chain restaurant for a beer and to socialize.

An altercation with a stranger would quickly and inexplicably turn deadly.

The man believed to be responsible for Craig’s death is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for first-degree murder. He is still at large.

In the episode, we speak with Craig’s sister, Drema, about her brother’s life and the investigation into his death.

Cameron Collin Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

Cameron Collin was a 37-year-old engineer working in the energy sector. His work took him all over North America and he made friends wherever he went.

As a kid growing up in Alberta he was a natural leader and talented athlete.

In October of 2018, Cameron traveled to Billings, Montana to attend a friend’s wedding. At some point during the bachelor party, he allegedly disappeared. His body was found a month later just meters from where he was last seen.

Local Law Enforcement was quick to rule his death an accident but this conclusion is at odds with the evidence that his family has uncovered.

For the last 3 years Cameron’s mother, Marion, has fearlessly fought to find the truth of what happened to her son. In this episode, Marion walks us through the compelling evidence that she has compiled.

MISSING: Dylan Ehler Dec 13, 2021

In the town of Truro, Nova Scotia, a drama has been playing out in public, online, and in the civil court system.

Lost in all of the drama is a missing child.
