It’s my last week off for Christmas and Kim with A Million Other Choices Podcast is filling in again with the stories of Jill Stuchenko, Cyntha Maas, Natasha Montgomery and Loren Leslie.

We all know the names of many serial killers - but can we name the victims? One of Canada's youngest killers, Cody Legebokoff, was caught by chance and left a wake of destruction to families in his path. Every victim, no matter their lifestyle or station in life deserves justice and is loved and missed and worthy of their story being told.
