Karissa Boudreau - Part 2 Feb 09, 2024

Show notes

On January 27th, 2008, Penny Boudreau and her daughter Karissa Boudreau went on a drive to have a heart-to-heart conversation about their relationship that had hit a rough patch since Karissa moved in with Penny and her new boyfriend in an apartment in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. A major snowstorm was set to hit the region that evening so Penny decided to stop at a grocery store on their way home, but when she came back out to the car, 12-year-old Karissa was nowhere to be found. The entire community was shell-shocked that a child could go missing in their town, but nothing could have prepared them for the truth.

Generation Why x TNTC - Lisa Marie Young Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

The Generation Why podcast, established in 2012 by Justin and Aaron, has evolved into one of the world's most popular true crime podcasts, known for its factual and compassionate approach to each case. When True North True Crime started, the guys at Generation Why provided significant support.

In the summer of 2023, we discussed the case of Lisa Marie Young, a 21-year-old Indigenous woman missing since 2002 in Nanaimo BC, with Justin. Sharing Lisa's story with Generation Why's extensive audience was a significant milestone for our podcast.

During our winter break, we invite you to listen to this episode on our channel. Gratitude to Aaron and Justin for the opportunity and to Lisa Marie Young's family and community for permitting us to share her story.

Show notes

Join Caitlin & Graeme as they detail the case of The Ant Hill Kids. This cult was a religious group led by Roch Thériault in Quebec, Canada, during the 1970s and 1980s. Thériault claimed to be a prophet and convinced his followers to isolate themselves from society. The cult engaged in extreme practices, including physical and psychological abuse, violence, and disturbing rituals. The Ant Hill Kids cult will forever be remembered as one of the most notorious and horrific cults in Canadian history.

Stephanie Donnelly Dec 28, 2023

Show notes

In 2008, Blair Evan Donnelly was declared not criminally responsible for the tragic murder of his 16-year-old daughter, Stephanie Donnelly. This marked the beginning of a complex and unsettling journey within the criminal justice system. Just a year later, Blair was granted an unescorted day pass, during which he committed another violent offence by stabbing a friend. Fast forward to 2023, and Blair was once again granted an unescorted day pass, attending an event in Vancouver's Chinatown, where he stabbed three unsuspecting strangers.

These shocking and senseless acts of violence have sparked a heated debate about the treatment and monitoring of individuals like Blair. Join us as we explore the haunting details of this case, the implications for public safety, and the profound impact it has had on politicians, law enforcement, and the community at large.

MISSING: Carmel Gilmour Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we delve into the mysterious disappearance of Carmel Gilmour, a 36-year-old mother from Parksville, whose van was found abandoned along the waterfront in Qualicum Beach five years ago. The investigation started on November 15th, 2017, when her boyfriend reported her missing, having last seen her the night before on Little Mountain.

Witnesses recall her acting confused and paranoid at a Liquor Depot the day prior.

Despite thorough searches and canvassing the area, police found no signs of struggle in her van, which appeared to have been her residence. Shockingly, it took seven days for authorities to flag the vehicle as suspicious since it had not moved. As we explore the timeline and circumstances, discover the details about Carmel's life leading up to her disappearance. Despite extensive efforts by law enforcement, Carmel's whereabouts remain unknown. The investigation rules out her boyfriend's involvement, leaving a haunting question: Where is Carmel Gilmour, and what secrets might the small town of Parksville be hiding?

As we detail the perplexing case, we'll explore the emotional toll on her family, the questions surrounding her sudden disappearance, and the haunting possibility that someone, or something, knows more than they're letting on.

The Murder of Francis Rattenbury Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

In this Halloween episode, we cover the murder of Francis Rattenbury.

Francis Rattenbury is easily one of British Columbia’s most famous architects but his story has a tragic ending.

Francis arrived in Canada to much fanfare but left under a cloud of scandal. Years later he was murdered as she sat in his favourite drinking chair.

Many people believe that his Ghost became restless and returned to the buildings he designed.

So if you find yourself in Victoria British Columbia pay close attention to the BC Parliament building, you may see a thin man with a mustache in a black cloak and cane out for a spooky night stroll.
