We have a special episode for you this week in honor of our trip to Montreal! Instead of covering stories from the United States, we’re traveling up north to our neighbors in Canada to explore some of the country’s dark history and chilling mysteries. First, Kenzie takes us to Quebec for the murder of 19-year-old Guylaine Potvin in April 2000. A case that would remain unsolved for more than two decades before investigators finally identified her killer. Then, Lauren ventures into the remote wilderness of Nahanni National Park Reserve to uncover the eerie legends of the infamous Headless Valley, a region known for its unforgiving terrain, mysterious deaths, and unsettling stories that have endured for generations. Join us as we cross the border and explore the darker side of Canada!
