August 16, 1972. Kleinburg, Ontario. Fourteen-year-old Ingrid Bauer steps out of her family’s home, barefoot, to visit her boyfriend just miles away. She promises to return by 10:30 p.m.—but vanishes without a trace. No wallet, no purse, no clues. In a new episode of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, dive into one of Canada’s most baffling mysteries, where a massive manhunt, helicopters, and scuba divers uncovered nothing. 

Was Ingrid taken by a predator like Donald Everingham, a convicted rapist, or Ronald Glenn West, a former cop turned murderer known as the .22 Killer? In the semi-rural Kleinburg of the 1970s, hitchhiking was common—but deadly. With no evidence and fading hope, the Bauer family still seeks answers, haunted by the unknown.

It was just days before Christmas, a time of family and celebration. But on December 22, 2011, a mother disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a home with unopened presents and a family consumed by dread.

For over a decade, the case of Cheryl Rowe has remained a chilling holiday mystery.

Police now believe foul play was involved, and their suspicions have centered on one final, terrifying location: the home of her ex-boyfriend.

Was a violent confrontation covered up? Were there others involved in a desperate attempt to hide the truth? And did they succeed?

Join the Ontario Cold Cases podcast as we unwrap the unsettling details of this unsolved disappearance. With key suspects now deceased, the answers may be gone forever. But with a new perspective, can the truth about what happened to Cheryl finally be revealed?

He made a phone call to his mother asking for a ride home. He was just a few feet away, but when she arrived, Pierre Mercon had vanished. The only thing left behind was a single piece of his Halloween costume—a camouflage poncho found under a table inside a Richmond Hill sports bar.

It was November 1, 1996, and 21-year-old Pierre disappeared into the night, leaving behind a family shattered by a mystery that has haunted them for nearly three decades. His case went cold, and a prime suspect was released due to lack of evidence.

Was Pierre a victim of a crime? Or did he simply disappear? The bar he left was a known hangout for local bikers, but no one has ever been able to say for certain what happened.

Join the Ontario Cold Cases podcast as we revisit the perplexing disappearance of Pierre Mercon. We'll explore the few leads and the unyielding efforts of a family who refuses to give up.

In the shadowed streets of Barrie, Ontario, a sinister predator stalks the vulnerable, leaving a trail of horror that has earned the name “The Barrie Butcher.” When William “Blake” Robinson and David Cheesequay vanished from a notorious homeless encampment, what began as a missing persons case unraveled into a gruesome nightmare of dismemberment and death. At the heart of it all stands Robert “Tattoo Rob” Ladouceur, a man well-known to police, now charged with a chilling litany of crimes—including murder.

As Barrie Police dive into a “red-ball investigation,” the discovery of human remains across rural Huntsville and Simcoe County confirms the worst. With 19 charges looming and a motive shrouded in shadow, the question lingers: what drove the Butcher to such brutality? In a world where addiction and desperation collide, this haunting case exposes the darkness lurking on society’s fringes.

Join Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast as we unravel the twisted web of the Barrie Butcher. Will justice prevail for Robinson and Cheesequay, or will this chilling mystery remain unsolved? Subscribe now—every case deserves answers, and every victim deserves justice.

It was supposed to be a new beginning. On April 13, 1995, Wendy Renee Smith was heading to her first shift at a new job. She never arrived. Police believe she was murdered, but for nearly 30 years, her case has remained a cold, silent mystery.

A mother of four who had faced a life of struggle, Wendy's disappearance left her family shattered and full of questions. Did she ever make it to the Fantasia Hotel in Richmond Hill? Or was her final night a meticulously crafted lie?

The trail of suspects leads to unsettling places: a "caring man" with a story that doesn't add up, and even one of Canada's most infamous serial killers, Robert Pickton. With two other unidentified suspects who failed polygraph tests, the truth seems to be hiding in plain sight.

Join the Ontario Cold Cases podcast as we peel back the layers of deception and explore the heartbreaking disappearance of Wendy Smith. The answers may lie in the inconsistencies, the dark secrets, and the questions that have haunted her family for decades.

Can a cold case this complex ever be solved?

Six-year-old Lilly and four-year-old Jack Sullivan vanished from their rural home in Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia, on May 2, 2025, leaving behind a trail of questions and a community gripped by fear. Court documents reveal shocking new details in the desperate search for the missing children: a tattered pink blanket—believed to be Lilly’s—found in a tree and a trash bag, polygraph tests casting shadows of doubt, and a witness’s haunting account of two children walking toward a mysterious stranger in a gold sedan.

As the Royal Canadian Mounted Police sift through over 760 tips and 8,000 video files, every clue deepens the mystery. Were Lilly and Jack simply lost, or is something far more sinister at play? With family members cleared by polygraphs and a biological father under scrutiny, the truth remains elusive. The clock is ticking, and the dense woods of Nova Scotia hold secrets that refuse to surface.

Will the fragments of Lilly’s blanket lead to answers, or are they a cruel distraction in a case where nothing is as it seems? 

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

She was a 17-year-old girl, an active and busy teenager who loved to babysit and play baseball. But on October 13, 1983, Donna Awcock disappeared, only to be found brutally murdered hours later. Her case went cold, and for four decades, her killer has walked free.

We'll explore a terrifying web of bizarre inconsistencies and unsettling missed opportunities, from a mysterious "mash-up" composite sketch to a wanted fugitive living just down the hall. We'll also ask difficult questions about a system that failed Donna, and whether new forensic science can finally bring her killer to justice.

In the early hours of September 9, 1989, Valerie Karen Stevens, a 19-year-old mother from Toronto, left her young daughter in the care of a teenage couple and set out to meet friends at the popular Diamond Club in downtown Toronto. Pregnant at the time, Valerie was never seen alive again. Days after she vanished, the teenage couple, who had been watching her daughter for several days, reported her absence. Her welfare checks went unclaimed, and her bank account remained untouched—indicators that something was gravely wrong.

Valerie’s skeletal remains were discovered three years later in October 1992 by hunters in a wooded area near Burford, Ontario. Although an autopsy could not determine her cause of death, police suspected foul play. Witnesses suggested that Valerie may have been hitchhiking when she encountered her killer, potentially leading to her tragic fate.

The tranquil beauty of West Cork was irrevocably scarred by the brutal murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. From the initial, challenging investigation to the perplexing emergence of Ian Bailey as the prime suspect, this case has been a relentless pursuit of truth across decades and continents.

In Part 3, we reach the culmination of this extraordinary saga. Witness the intensified Garda interrogations of Ian Bailey, and the critical absence of direct forensic evidence that would prove to be a gaping hole in the Irish prosecution's case. We expose the controversial allegations of police misconduct, from missing evidence like the infamous bloodstained gate to claims of witness coercion, all detailed in official reports that reveal a shocking lack of administrative oversight.

Follow the labyrinthine legal battles: from Bailey's repeated arrests and subsequent releases in Ireland, to his audacious civil suits against the State. Then, cross the channel to France, where a determined family's fight for justice led to a dramatic conviction in absentia against Bailey, and the subsequent, equally dramatic, refusal of Irish courts to extradite him.

Finally, we address the profound impact of Ian Bailey's recent death in January 2024. While it closes one chapter, the core mystery remains open in Ireland. With a new Garda review underway, will the full truth about Sophie's murder ever emerge?

This is the gripping conclusion to a case that defied easy answers, tested legal systems, and left an indelible mark on two nations.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
