   Number 1: Origins | 7

   This episode begins more than a decade before the events of April 18 and 19, 2020, when the gunman travelled to Fredericton, New Brunswick to clean out the apartment of his "dear friend," Tom Evans. People who knew them say their business relationship had a darker side; they had been smuggling cigarettes and alcohol into Canada from the United States for years. After settling his friend’s estate, the gunman took home more than $200,000, and a semi-automatic rifle he would use in a terrible killing spree more than a decade later. And his relationship with Evans was a link to other weapons police say he used that weekend.

   Number 2: Communication Breakdown | 6

   Overnight on April 18 and 19, 2020, Nova Scotia RCMP were searching for a gunman who had murdered 13 people and lit buildings on fire in Portapique. It turns out that police had been warned about the gunman nearly a decade earlier, when an officer from a nearby police force was told that he had a collection of guns and wanted to "kill a cop." Police now say they had no record of that warning on the weekend of the shooting because it was purged from their records management system. In this episode, ex-Mounties question what was done with the warnings about the gunman, and why local police forces close to Portapique were not called in to help with the manhunt that night.

   Number 3: Injustice Collector | 5

   On June 4, 2020, Nova Scotia RCMP said that a psychological autopsy of Gabriel Wortman found that he was an injustice collector, "one who held onto conflict or differences with others, turning them inward until they boiled over in rage." Police say they believe revenge was a motivating factor in the killing spree on April 18 and 19, 2020, but they also say some of the gunman's victims were targeted at random. In this episode, we learn what an injustice collector is, and we hear from people who knew the gunman about his history of violence and disputes with others. Experts say these events are part of a pattern of behaviour that should serve as a warning sign for authorities.

   Number 4: Emergency Response | 3

   On April 18, 2020, police respond to several 911 calls from Portapique, N.S. Gabriel Wortman has killed several of his neighbours and set some of their homes on fire. The first police officers who arrive find several people dead and a massive response gets underway. Officers start setting up perimeters and call in specialized resources to find the gunman, but he gets away. How and when does this happen? And why don't police realize he's gone for hours? As you’ll hear in this episode, the police theory of the gunman's escape has changed since the shootings.

   Number 5: Red Flags | 4

   Overnight on April 18, 2020, Gabriel Wortman was hiding out in an industrial area in the town of Debert, N.S. According to surveillance footage, he arrived at 11:12 p.m., 27 minutes after police said he left Portapique. But this is the point where the timeline of events becomes less clear; we don't know what he was doing in those overnight hours. In this episode, we dig into aspects of Wortman's behaviour and personality that experts say were red flags: his vehicle that the RCMP said looked “identical in every way” to a real police car; his extensive police memorabilia collection; and, how he was reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic.
