On January 27th, 2008, 12-year-old Karissa Boudreau was riding in the car with her mother, Penny Boudreau, as they tried to mend their strained relationship. Since moving into a new apartment in Bridgewater with Penny’s boyfriend, tensions had been running high between mother and daughter. But that cold, snowy night, Penny hoped for a heart-to-heart that might bring them closer.

After stopping at a grocery store to pick up a few things before the impending snowstorm hit, Penny returned to the car to find it empty—Karissa was gone. A mother’s worst nightmare had just begun, and what followed was a desperate search that gripped the community.

At first, it seemed like a tragic case of a child who had simply run off, but as the days passed, the truth that would unfold was far more disturbing—and far more devastating—than anyone could have imagined.

What really happened to Karissa Boudreau? How did a family conflict escalate into one of the most shocking crimes in Canadian history?

Loretta was just 26 years old—a proud Inuk woman and a university student in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She was passionate about advocating for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and she was actually writing her thesis on that very topic. It was more than just a project to her; it was personal.

But in February 2014, Loretta went out to run a quick errand and never came home. Two weeks later, her body was discovered in a hockey bag, tossed off the side of a highway in New Brunswick. The reason behind her murder is devastating, and it’s a loss that still weighs heavily on the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

Loretta was known for being warm, courageous, and determined. She was living with her long-term partner while subletting her own apartment to help cover her school expenses. The last time anyone saw her, she was headed to that apartment to either collect rent from her tenants or evict them if they couldn’t pay.

What happened next shocked her community and sparked a wave of activism that continues to this day. Loretta’s story is one of resilience, heartbreak, and a fight for justice that didn’t end with her tragic death.

On the morning of September 11th, 2015, 36-year-old Catherine Campbell—an off-duty police constable from Truro, Nova Scotia—headed to a bar in downtown Halifax to blow off steam after a long week on the force. She laughed, she danced, and then… she vanished.

By Monday morning, Catherine hadn’t shown up for work. Her fellow officers knew something was wrong. The woman who always had their backs had simply disappeared. What began as a missing persons report quickly turned into a nightmare.

Her body would be discovered days later. The truth behind what happened that night was chilling. A suspect emerged—Christopher Garnier—and with him, a story so disturbing, so twisted, it would make headlines across Canada. Not just for the violence… but for the way the defence tried to paint Catherine as somehow responsible for her own death.

This is not just a story about a murder. It’s a story about justice, about victim-blaming, and about a woman who deserved so much more.

It all began in the early months of 2017 when two homeless men, Daniel Aldape and David Dunn, were bludgeoned to death in separate incidents on the streets of downtown Las Vegas. With no witnesses, no weapons left behind, and no surveillance footage to aid in the investigation, Captain Andrew Walsh of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department had to act fast. A seasoned officer with over two decades of experience, Walsh trusted his instincts. He knew these murders were connected and feared they were the work of a serial killer.

Walsh understood that Las Vegas—home to over 40 million visitors annually and with a homeless population of over 7,000—was a city that couldn’t afford to let a killer slip through the cracks. 

This story is about more than just a case—it’s about the victims whose lives were cut short, the struggle for justice, and the unsettling reality of what happens when society’s most vulnerable are targeted.

This is a case that shook Japan to its core - a tale of unimaginable cruelty that still haunts the nation over three decades later.

Picture this: It's November 25, 1988. The streets of Misato, a quiet suburb of Tokyo, are bustling with the usual after-school crowd. Among them is Junko Furuta, a 16-year-old high school student known for her beauty, intelligence, and kind heart. As she pedals home on her bicycle, she has no idea that this ordinary day will be her last taste of freedom.

In a moment that would alter the course of her life forever, Junko is suddenly knocked off her bike by a group of teenage boys. What followed was not just a crime but a descent into hell that would last for 44 agonizing days.

Known as the "concrete-encased high school girl murder case," Junko's story is one of unthinkable torture at the hands of four young men who would become her captors, tormentors, and ultimately, her killers.

In May 1999, a 14-year-old girl walked into a Hong Kong police station, her voice trembling as she recounted a terrifying tale of being haunted by the ghost of a woman bound by electrical wires, tortured, and left to die. Initially dismissed as mere fantasy, the girl's words would soon lead police to a gruesome discovery that would shake the very foundations of Hong Kong's justice system.

The police, now intrigued, followed her to a dilapidated flat in Kowloon, where the truth awaited.

Join me as I delve into the shocking details of the Hello Kitty murder case, exploring how a seemingly fantastical story led to one of Hong Kong's most notorious crimes. Discover how the perpetrators' cruelty and depravity stunned the nation, and how justice was eventually served with life sentences for the trio involved. This true crime story is a haunting reminder of the darker side of human nature and the importance of listening to even the most unlikely of confessions.
