True North True Crime

The murder of Geraldine Settee is one of the oldest unsolved MMIWG cases in modern Canadian history. 

On January 1, 1970, Geraldine, an 11-year-old girl of Métis heritage, was murdered while she walked to the store to buy candy in a Winnipeg suburb.

Although an arrest was made, the suspect was released. 

For over half of a century, The Settee Family has been left without answers. 

What caused this case to fall apart and remain cold for so long?

Thanks for listening!

An infamous stretch of road in northern British Columbia has become known as “The Highway of Tears”

For decades people have gone missing or been murdered along the remote highway. 

The victims are primarily indigenous women and girls. 

But in 1989 an entire family went missing. 

Ronald Jack, his partner Doreen and their 2 children Ryan and Russel were last seen in the city of Prince George, British Columbia. 

Ronald had met a man in a bar that gave him an offer that seemed too good to be true. 

This is the story of The Jack Family.

Amherst, Nova Scotia was home to a haunting that has still not been completely explained to this day. Esther Cox began experiencing unexplained phenomena in late August 1878 after being assaulted by a local man named Bob MacNeil.  Bob fled the village after the attack however the manifestations of a poltergeist haunted Esther Cox for more than a year. For much of this time, Esther lived with family and friends who also witnessed the hauntings. Many credible people including local business owners, a physician, and clergy claim to have also witnessed the events. The experiences of Esther Cox became known as the “The Great Amherst Mystery."

Amanda Zhao was the pride and joy of her family. Her dream to be educated in Canada was a symbol of a better future for her and her parents. 

Sadly that dream came to an end when the 20 year old woman’s body was found on October 20, 2002.

She had been murdered by her boyfriend Ang Li. 

Following her death, her family found themselves caught in a kind of purgatory between two posturing governments and two very different justice systems. 

Would justice be found for Amanda Zhao and her family?

Thank you for listening!

UPDATE: Teagan Coutts was returned to her father on December 23rd 2021 and is no longer missing.

--

On July 8th, 2021, a 7-year-old Calgary child named Teaghan Coutts, was witnessed boarding a plane from Vancouver to Turkey with her abductors by her side.

Her abductors, Louanne Bass-Hassan and Mostafa Mohammed Hassan are known to the little girl.

They are her maternal grandparents.

Using forged documents and other illegal means the grandparents smuggled the Canadian girl out of the country undetected. It is believed that their final destination is Egypt.

More frustrating was the fact that this was not their first attempt.

Canada-wide warrants have been issued for the arrest of the grandparents. 

At home in Calgary, her father, Justin Coutts, is fighting international and local jurisdictions to bring his daughter home.

Help us as we join the fight to Bring Teaghan Home

Thanks to the Laura Palmer podcast Island Crime: “Where is Lisa” the disappearance of Lisa Marie Young is one of the most talked-about missing persons cases in Canada.

On the Canada Day weekend in 2002, Lisa Marie Young, a 21-year-old First Nations woman, went out to a Nanaimo nightclub to celebrate a friend’s birthday.

While outside of the club Lisa and her friends met a man in a red Jaguar. He offered to take Lisa and her friends to a house party.

In the early morning hours of June 30th, the man with the Jaguar allegedly drove Lisa to get some food. She has not been seen since.

Despite the driver of the Jaguar being positively identified, the RCMP investigation has stalled over the years.

Until recently.

This episode includes interviews with MMIWG Advocate and Lisa Marie Young family friend Cyndy Hall as well as Lisa’s aunt and MMIWG Advocate Carol Frank.

We will walk through the investigation from multiple angles and present what is known about this file.

We also break down MP Paul Manley’s recent speech about Lisa Marie Young in the House of Commons, which brought awareness to her case at the highest levels of government in Canada.

Join us for this important episode as True North True Crime joins the movement to find justice for Lisa Marie Young.
