In this episode, Frederique and Brayden discuss the mysterious disappearance of Joan Lawrence, known as the "cat lady of Muskoka." They explore how Joan, an elderly woman, was exploited by her landlords and failed by the system meant to protect her.

The episode highlights the troubling pattern of neglect and exploitation faced by vulnerable seniors, and reflect on the broader issues of elder abuse and housing insecurity. Joan's story serves as a somber reminder of the importance of protecting those who are most at risk in our communities.
