Twenty-year-old Margaret Sheeler, a glowing mother-to-be and newlywed, vanished without a trace from her pristine townhouse on the Bridle Path. What should have been a night of hosting friends became a night of growing suspicion.

But when Margaret’s frozen, brutally murdered body was discovered a month later—staged in a nearby vacant lot—the cracks in his story became impossible to ignore. How could a young, pregnant woman disappear so close to home? Who staged her crime scene so meticulously to mislead investigators? And why, sixty years later, ha...

A third-year pharmacy student at the University of Toronto, he was not just academically driven but also an accomplished athlete—former co-captain of the hockey team at Ottawa’s elite Ashbury College and recipient of its top award for athletics and academics. Then, on a frigid December morning in 2001, John’s lifeless body was found sprawled on the icy pavement outside his 10-storey apartment on Toronto’s Walmer Road. At first glance, the scene whispered “suicide.” But not to his parents. John was found face-up, broken but oddly composed.

They insist he never wore gloves, never zipped his jacket, and certainly wouldn’t have mistaken a head cover for a hat. More troubling is the large bruise on John’s forehead—a detail experts say couldn't have been caused ...

  The Delphi Murders: A Chilling Symbol of Modern Evil After nearly four days of deliberation, an Indiana jury reached a conclusion many had suspected for years: Richard Allen is among the most heinous criminals of our time.   On that fateful February day in 2017, Abby Williams,13, and Libby German, 14, went for what should have been a peaceful hike along Delphi’s Historic Trails. When they failed to meet their families at the designated pick-up point, panic set in. The next day, their bodies were discovered in a wooded area near the trails. From the start, investigators were certain it was a homicide. The hunt for the killer consumed the town, casting a shadow of fear as law enforcement and the public alike searched for answers. Remarkably, Libby managed to capture photos and audio of her murderer—dubbed “Bridge Guy”—just before the girls were attacked. Despite this invaluable evidence, it would take five long years for an arrest to be made. For Delphi, the nightmare is final...
