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.

I Witness - Ontario Cold Cases - The Podcast | Podcast on Spotify I Witness Six witnesses. One robbery. A thousand contradictions. A Mick & Mack Mystery “Everyone’s a hero. 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.
