October 15th, 1993, was a regular friday for 19 year old Jennifer Cusworth, she had recently moved to Kelowna BC, and moved in with her aunt and uncle so she could attend a social work course at Okanagan University. She loved working with children and people in general, she was a social butterfly and determined to enter the workforce as soon as possible. That night Jennifer went to her friends house for a few drinks, the three then went to the bar and spontaneously continued the party at her friends apartment well into the early morning hours. Suddenly, Jennifer tells her friends she wants to go home and would like them to help her figure out a ride, but while they were coming up with a plan, Jennifer was nowhere to be found. What happened during those early morning hours after she left the party, and how did she end up dead, face down in a ditch on Swamp Road??

Join me while I take through the tragic story of Jennifer Cusworht and her beautiful, fulfilled life that was cut short too soon. 

This is Jennifer’’s story.

In 1959, 12 year old Lynne Harper disappeared from her small town of Clinton, Ontario, after playing with friends at a park. Her body was found days later, leading to a wave of confusion and suspicion that would haunt investigators for years. What happened to this bright, innocent child? How did a routine evening transform into one of Canada’s most notorious unsolved crimes?

In this episode, we’ll retrace the steps that led to Lynne Harper's disappearance, examine the clues that came to light, and the shocking twist that pointed the finger at a young boy, Steven Truscott—only for doubts about his conviction to emerge. Was Steven truly guilty, or was a wrongful conviction the tragic mistake that prevented justice for Lynne

This is Lynne’s story.

In 2006, the Richardson family—Deborah, her husband Mark, and their 8-year-old son, Jacob—were found brutally murdered in their home. What seemed like a senseless act of violence would soon unravel a twisted tale of betrayal, manipulation, and a dark secret hiding in plain sight. But what made this case even more chilling was the identity of the killers— their pre-teen daughter J and her much older boyfriend, Jeremy, who was 9 years her senior. What causes a twelve year old to murder her entire family? In this episode, we’ll explore the shocking events leading up to the Richardson murders, the eerie motivations behind them, and the unsettling truth that would come to light in the aftermath.

This is the story of the Richardson Family.

It was November 30th, 1984, when Candace was last seen walking home from her school Mennonite Brethren Collegiate Institute, in Winnipeg, Canada. She had called to ask her mother for a ride home but was told to walk. When she never made it home that evening, her family was hoping she had run away and was trying to teach them a lesson. However as the days passed, her sudden and unexplained vanishing set off a wave of fear and uncertainty in the community. Seven weeks after Candace disappeared, her frozen body is found in a shed, less than 500 meters from her house.

On November 28, 2012, 26-year-old Emma Fillipoff was last seen at a downtown hotel, acting erratically and appearing distressed. After her mother Shelley received multiple calls from Emma crying and begging for help, only to call back awhile later to say she changed her mind and can handle it on her own,  Shelley decided to fly to Victoria BC to get the full story. When Shelley showed up, Emma hadnt claimed her bed for the night.  Despite being seen a few hours ago and being spoken to by police, it appeared that Emma had dropped off the face of the earth. After extensive investigations, no trace of her has ever been found. Not the multiple bags she had been seen carrying, nor the bright orange purse she was wearing. Was Emma the victim of foul play, or did she leave voluntarily, to seek out a new life? In this episode, we’ll explore the strange details surrounding Emma’s disappearance, the search efforts, and the many unanswered questions that continue to linger.
This is Emmas Story.

In 1984, nine year old Christine Jessop was sent to school while her mom and brother traveled to the big city of Toronto for the day. When the two arrived home, less than twenty minutes after the school bus would have dropped Chirstine off, her bike was in the shed and backpack hung up but no one was home. Christines disappearance shook the small town of Queensville, Ontario and the search for answers would lead to heartbreak and controversy. The story I’m about to tell you today is graphic and disturbing, bookmarks are added to skip graphic details.
