The Murder of Julia Wallace: A…–Ontario Cold Cases - The Podcast – Apple Podcasts The Murder of Julia Wallace: An Impossible Mystery
 From the creators of Ontario Cold Cases – Canada’s True Crime Podcast A locked room. A vanished killer. A crime so baffling it defies reason. Liverpool, 1931. In a modest red-brick row house on Wolverton Street, Julia Wallace is found bludgeoned to death—her body crumpled in the parlor, a raincoat soaked in blood beneath her. Hours earlier, her husband, William Wallace, received a peculiar phone message summoning him across the city to a meeting with a man who didn’t exist… at an address that couldn’t be found. What followed stunned the nation and confounded experts for nearly a century. Was the mild-mannered insurance man a diabolical killer who staged the perfect alibi? Or the victim of a malevolent trap, framed by someone who knew his every move? With no murder weapon, no eyewitnesses, and a crime scene soaked in contradiction, the case became a r...

Until the facts walk in.” When a mid-morning bank job shakes up downtown Toronto, Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely are sent to investigate what should be a straightforward case. But something doesn’t sit right. The bank manager insists he bravely negotiated with the thief.
 One teller says she saved the day with a letter opener.
 Another claims he nearly tackled the man himself.
 Even the customers have wild tales — of chases, threats, and split-second heroics. Everyone saw everything.

  Vanished in the Islands: The Disappearance of Faloma and Maleina Luhk
 Ontario Cold Cases – Canada’s True Crime Podcast It was a quiet morning on Saipan Island.
 The sun had just risen. The sea breeze was warm.
 Two young sisters—Faloma and Maleina Luhk—walked to their village bus stop like they did every school day.
 They sat down. They waited. Twenty minutes later, the bus pulled up.
 But the girls were gone. No witnesses. No footprints. No sign of a struggle.
 Just an empty bench—and a mystery that would haunt an entire island. What followed became the largest and most expensive missing persons investigation in the history of the Northern Mariana Islands.

 A possible sighting. A chilling discovery.
 Still—no answers. Now, over a decade later, this case remains unsolved.
 But someone, some...
