Toronto, February 25, 1955. 1955 murder case of 8-year-old girl remains a mystery to this day When 8-year-old Judy Carter vanishes without a trace after school, her disappearance ignites a citywide hunt, hailed as the “greatest search ever carried out in Toronto.” Hundreds rally—firefighters, police, Boy Scouts, even her school principal—combing a vast 38-square-kilometer area. From Cherry Beach to Leaside, hope flickers... but no sign of the Cabbagetown girl emerges. Ten days turn into a nightmare of unanswered questions.

  London’s Forgotten Nightmare: The Chilling Mystery of Jack the Stripper - Part 1 Welcome to Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast —the show that dives headfirst into the murkiest depths of unsolved mysteries, where every twist keeps you guessing and every detail sends a shiver down your spine. Today we’re taking you across the pond to the foggy streets of 1960s London, where a shadowy figure known only as Jack the Stripper left an indelible mark of terror. Yes, you heard that right—Jack the Stripper. The name may sound quirky, but there’s nothing funny about this nightmare.

Shadows Over Toronto | Patreon Shadows Over Toronto John Blake’s phone buzzed with a new email—an anonymous tip about the unsolved “Gardener Murders,” a series of cold cases from the late 90s where victims were found buried in shallow graves in various community gardens around the city, each with a rare flower planted atop them. The cases had gone cold, and the killer was never found. Looking closely at the photo he realized it was a new site, unconnected to the old patterns but eerily similar in execution. The realization sent a chill down his spine. Was the killer back, or was it a copycat inspired by the original crimes? Either way, John knew he was about to descend into a deep, dark world once again.

  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...
