Just because a case is cold, doesn’t mean it’s closed.

Tracking a Killer: The Cold Case Files returns for a fourth season with CityNews's Madison Fitzpatrick and News680's Fil Martino shining a light on eight cold cases. This season includes a look at a single vehicle crash near Kingston, Ontario in 1992 that turned into a murder investigation,  the violent death of a Windsor mother of three and the 2005 death of a woman in Barrie, Ontario woman who was shot while sitting on a friend's front porch. Plus, students at Guelph-Humber have been examining police files on the disappearance 34 years ago of Elizabeth Bain which led to the wrongful conviction of her boyfriend, Robert Baltovich.

The new season of Tracking a Killer: The Cold Case Files launches February 2nd, 2026. 

The Canadian Centre for Child Protection calls it case fraught with a lot of sadness. 16-year-old high school student Mistie Murray disappeared from Goderich, Ontario on May 31st, 1995. Her adoptive father was charged with murder. He was acquitted in 1997. Mistie has never been found.

His sister says this is not going to be a cold case and they will exhaust every resource they have to get justice.
