In 2008, Blair Evan Donnelly was declared not criminally responsible for the tragic murder of his 16-year-old daughter, Stephanie Donnelly. This marked the beginning of a complex and unsettling journey within the criminal justice system. Just a year later, Blair was granted an unescorted day pass, during which he committed another violent offence by stabbing a friend. Fast forward to 2023, and Blair was once again granted an unescorted day pass, attending an event in Vancouver's Chinatown, where he stabbed three unsuspecting strangers. These shocking and senseless acts of violence have sparked a heated debate about the treatment and monitoring of individuals like Blair. Join us as we explore the haunting details of this case, the implications for public safety, and the profound impact it has had on politicians, law enforcement, and the community at large. -- Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0 Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTC Join our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpod Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpod Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Join us as we sit down with History of the 90's host, Kathy Kenzora to discuss the tragic 1997 murder of Reena Virk. Reena Virk was a 14-year-old girl from Saanich, British Columbia, Canada, who was murdered in November 1997. She was lured to a secluded area by a group of teenagers, including Kelly Ellard and Warren Glowatski, where she was brutally beaten and drowned. The case gained widespread attention due to its shocking nature and the young age of both the victim and the perpetrators. Kelly Ellard, who was 15 at the time of the murder, was eventually convicted of second-degree murder after multiple trials, and Warren Glowatski was convicted of manslaughter.

MISSING: Michelle Louise Mercer

In Sparwood, B.C., tragedy struck when Joel Zimbalatti was found dead in his mobile home. Despite months passing since the incident, the details surrounding his death remain veiled in mystery. While one individual fled the scene before authorities arrived on Oct. 11, another, identified as "Slim" (real name Joshua Freeman), has emerged as a crucial person of interest. Joshua isn't the only person of interest though, a second man was taken into custody and released, and has since been uncooperative with the investigation.
Joel's mother Toni and his best friend Chris are pleading anyone with information on Slim's whereabouts to come forward.
Slim, described as a tall, thin white man with distinctive sideburns, was last sighted in the Kimberly area but is believed to have ties to the Okanagan region. With Slim's knowledge crucial to unravelling the events leading to Joel's death, authorities urge caution but implore anyone with information to contact them immediately.
To anyone with information regarding Joshua Freeman, the other person of interest, or the case in general, please call 1-877-987-8477. If sighted, do not approach; instead, contact authorities promptly by dialling 911. -- Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0 Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTC Join our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpod Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpod Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
