Lynda Shaw, a promising young University Student, would go missing Easter weekend 1990 during her commute to London, ON from her hometown of Huttonville.

The case would sit cold for over a decade, until advances in DNA would reveal what her family had been waiting for... the identity of the killer.

According to statistics, 1 in 25 people is considered a psychopath. Can psychopaths exist without being killers? If they do kill, can they be rehabilitated? 

Something is very wrong in Canada. Between 2015 and 2020 Indigenous women and girls have accounted for 24% of all female homicide victims in Canada, even though they make up just 5% of the country’s female population. 

These are the stories of Abigail Andrews, Annette Holywhiteman, and Cheyenne Fox. 

Samuel Lottery was born in 1978. Eighteen years later, in January of 1996, he would go missing in his hometown of London, Ontario. What happened to Sam Lottery? 

The case is still unsolved, 27 years later...

April 9, 2009. Tori Stafford is missing, and was last seen leaving her public school with an unidentified woman. Tips would come pouring in, and it only took three days for police to narrow in on a suspect. By May 2009, another suspect was identified, and it was determined the two had worked together to abduct Tori.

The case would unfold over a period of four years, and the details would be horrendous and shocking. Tori's family-along with everyone who followed this case-would realize that monsters truly do exist.

April 8th, 2009 was a big day for Tori, for a few reasons. The family had recently moved into a new home, and to celebrate Tori was allowed to have friends over for a movie night. But perhaps one of the most exciting items on the agenda for the day was that Tori was taking a large step into independence, and for the first time, she was going to walk home from school by herself without her brother Daryn accompanying her.

What followed would be a parent's worst nightmare...

July 30, 1985. Eight year old Nicole Morin leaves her apartment unit to go swimming with a friend who is waiting for her in the apartment lobby. She never makes it to her friend, and has never been seen again.

Five year old Susan Cadieux disappeared from a school playground in London, Ontario on January 6, 1956. What happened next would completely devastate not only the London community but neighbouring communities as well. The story of what happened to little Susan would be communicated via newspapers across North America - but unfortunately the case would soon turn cold. 

A brutal hit and run in a small town in Ontario would cut 18 year old Lucas Shortreed's life short. The community was devastated at the loss of this promising young man. And the hurt would continue for almost 14 years as police searched for the person (or people) responsible.

A shocking turn of events in September 2022 would change everything.
