Septic Tank Sam was the nickname given to an unidentified murder victim found on April 13, 1977, in a disused septic tank on an abandoned farm near Tofield, Alberta. Because investigators could not identify him for decades, he became known as “Septic Tank Sam".

In 2021, advances in forensic genealogy finally led to a major breakthrough in this case, but that doesn't mean the case is closed, there's still work to be done!

If you have any information about Gordon Sanderson’s movements around the time of his death in the spring of 1977, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Alberta RCMP at 780‑412‑5424. No tip is too small.

In the early morning hours of December 1, 1991, 46‑year‑old Jane Duston of Branson, Missouri, took the lives of most of her family and then her own. Jane had recently undergone surgery for uterine cancer and was receiving medication for depression. While we cannot fully know what she experienced or the depth of her suffering, these factors are believed to have played a role in that tragic night.

As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month, this painful story is a solemn reminder that we often cannot see the struggles people carry inside. Serious illness, treatment, and mental health conditions can quietly and powerfully alter a person’s thoughts and behaviors, even in those who once seemed steady and strong. Out of that awareness, we can choose compassion: to listen without judgment, to check in with those who may be isolated, and to encourage—gently and persistently—access to care and support. Small acts of kindness and vigilance can matter deeply to someone who feels alone.

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, confidential, free, 24/7/365 help is available. Call or text 988 or Chat at 988lifeline.org

In the early morning hours of March 19, 1985, 23-year-old Linda Brown was found shot to death in her bed in her home in Garden Grove, California. Hours later, her stepdaughter, 14 year old Cinnamon, was found in the doghouse in the backyard, with a note essentially admitting that she’d shot Linda. She maintained her story for years, until she learned what her father, David, was doing on the outside while she was incarcerated for the murder. Then, she came forward with the truth... and it shocked everyone.
