About 200 km west of Toronto, lies the smaller city of London, On, nicknamed forest city and its surrounding areas. This city has been connected to major metropolitan areas by freeways and highways since 1956, yet still separated and urban. The area is a perfect market test area as it is so average, the economy, the demographics. It's a beautiful location, surrounded by nature. But London has a dark and haunted past. We will be exploring a part of this dark and sordid past within the next few episodes. Travel with me today to 1969 in London, ON, and the surrounding area. This is episode #26 of True Crime Real Time, London's Sordid Past – Part 1, The Chambermaid Killer.

“Nothing adds up about the deaths of Casey and Caleb. It’s quite clear the Royal Anguilla Police’s first priority was simply to make the deaths go away.”~ T.J. Ward (P.I.)

Changing stories of what actually happened that fateful evening. A refusal of four witnesses to participate in the coronial inquest. Missing documentation. Those outspoken silenced. Unexplained injuries. Will there be justice for Casey and Caleb?

The charred remains of Philip Lake were discovered the morning of Monday, January 6th, 1936 by neighbour and fellow settler Otto Blakeney, who was on his way to see Philip for some provisions. After discovering Philip’s partially cremated body, Otto frantically searched the smouldering ruins for Philip’s wife and two small children. After only finding Philip and the skeleton of their cat what was left of the family’s two room cabin, he started searching the surrounding property. About 200 yards away, near Ballast Pit Road, lay the nearly nude body of Bertha Lake with a halo of blood drenched in the snow surrounding her. Her arms outstretched as though searching for her babies and a little further from that was the frozen body of little Jackie Lake, left to die in the freezing temperatures. This is episode 21 of True Crime Real Time, Part 2 of the Lake Family Tragedy – Extortion & Murder in the backwoods.

New Years came and went and the Lake family celebrated with friend and neighbour, Otto Blakeney, in their 2-room cabin. It was winter, and a blanket of snow covered the ground. Nothing that outdoorsman and woodcutter Otto couldn’t handle. Besides, Philip and Bertha Lake had two small children at home, 21-month-old Jack and 6-month-old Betty, so it was easier for Otto to come to them. The day together ended and Otto went home and the Lake family continued on with their daily grind. The sun rose on Monday, January 6 1936, Otto peered the bellowing smoke beyond the horizon, coming from the general direction of his friend and neighbour. This is episode 19 of True Crime Real Time, Extortion & Murder in the Backwoods, Part 1 of the Lake family’s story

The mail was starting to pile for Gail on the hall table. On Wednesday there were 2 letters, on Thursday there was a small parcel and some small mail. But none of the items were picked up. This was odd, Gail always picked her mail. She was supposed to be at work but hadn’t showed up there either. Her work place called her landlord, asking if he knew where she was. Gerry, her landlord, said he would check on her apartment as she also hadn’t picked up her mail. He went up stairs and as he knocked on Gail’s door, it swung open, revealing a crime that will be forever engraved in Gerry’s mind.
