July 28th, 2019, was the day Menhaz Zaman was supposed to be graduating from Canada’s York University. Instead police were on their way to his parents home for a welfare check. The call had been made by members of an online community after he’d sent them disturbing photos. When police arrived, a young man answered the door calmly. But what lay within the home revealed the true chaos that had erupted within his mind.

In Ontario, Canada, September marks one of the last months of the year to get out and enjoy the great outdoors before packing it in for the season. In 2017, one fisherman in Oshawa, Ontario, was out on the pier when he noticed something floating in the water. What he and another fisherman managed to catch in his net, would be a visual that would forever be seared in his mind. Not a prize salmon but something far more sinister: Evidence of Murder.

Episode 142 - 7 Minutes
Monday, April 23rd, 2018 was a surprisingly warm day in Toronto, Ontario, causing residents to be out in droves, ditching their winter coats, eager to enjoy the sunshine. Among those taking advantage of the warmer weather, was 68 year old Catherine Riddell, headed to the library off of Yonge Street, when a van suddenly struck her from behind. The vehicle had hit Catherine with such force, it sent her body flying in the air, before crashing through a transit shelter. The strange thing was, Catherine hadn’t been hit crossing the street. She’d been walking on the sidewalk.
