It was supposed to be a new beginning. On April 13, 1995, Wendy Renee Smith was heading to her first shift at a new job. She never arrived. Police believe she was murdered, but for nearly 30 years, her case has remained a cold, silent mystery.

A mother of four who had faced a life of struggle, Wendy's disappearance left her family shattered and full of questions. Did she ever make it to the Fantasia Hotel in Richmond Hill? Or was her final night a meticulously crafted lie?

The trail of suspects leads to unsettling places: a "caring man" with a story that doesn't add up, and even one of Canada's most infamous serial killers, Robert Pickton. With two other unidentified suspects who failed polygraph tests, the truth seems to be hiding in plain sight.

Join the Ontario Cold Cases podcast as we peel back the layers of deception and explore the heartbreaking disappearance of Wendy Smith. The answers may lie in the inconsistencies, the dark secrets, and the questions that have haunted her family for decades.

Can a cold case this complex ever be solved?
