  The Hour Delia Adriano Vanished: A Cold Case in Oakville September 26, 1982. Oakville, Ontario. Delia Adriano was twenty-five, engaged to be married, and just days from her birthday. Dropped off by her fiancé at 9:30 PM, she took the few steps toward her family's door. She never made it inside. What happened in the crucial missing hour that followed? Around 10:30 PM, witnesses report a frantic scene less than a kilometer away: a petite woman matching Delia's description was being forced into a dark, sub-compact car. An intense argument was heard inside the vehicle before it sped away, headlights off, leaving Delia's purse behind in the dark. Six weeks later, a gruesome discovery: Delia’s body, naked and abandoned in a Milton woodland known as a “Lover's Lane.” For over forty years, the police have had no answers. They cleared her fiancé, but a detective and Delia's own sister share a chilling conviction: Delia knew her killer. Was it a stalker, a spurned co-worker...

  Two families. Two unsolved murders. One terrifying pattern. In 1979, the Airst family was slaughtered inside their Toronto home—no robbery, no forced entry, and no suspects. Just a year earlier, the Fagans were killed in the same area under eerily similar circumstances. Police said it wasn’t random. So who was allowed into these homes? And why did no one hear a thing?

  The Unsolved Murder of Lisa Anstey A Murder Unsolved. A City in Shadows. A Truth Waiting to Be Uncovered. In the gritty heart of Toronto’s underbelly, 21-year-old Lisa Anstey fought to survive. A First Nations mother of two, known as “Jemma” or “Terri,” she was a fierce spirit trapped in a world of addiction and danger, working the streets since age 11. On May 12, 1997, her life was brutally cut short. Found strangled in a dark laneway near the notorious Street City, her body bore the scars of trauma—and a missing shoe that hinted at a killer’s chilling motives. Was it a trophy? A careless mistake? Or a message? Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast dives deep into Lisa’s unsolved murder, unraveling a web of secrets in a city plagued by violence against sex trade workers. With no witnesses in the chaotic homeless camp and a DNA profile—a white male with light eyes and blonde or red hair—leading nowhere, the case grows colder. Was it Peter Dale MacDonald, a known strang...

  The Triple Slaying of the Airst Family and the Fagans Two Families. Two Crimes. One Killer—or Two? In the fall of 1979, a daughter walked into her family home and found three loved ones murdered.

But the similarities are too chilling to ignore. The Airsts and the Fagans—two families, two brutal crimes, and decades of unanswered questions. Were these killings personal? Political? Or the work of the same hand? Join us as we examine the evidence, theories, and the disturbing coincidences.  This is Ontario Cold Cases — Coming Tuesday December 2nd!

  The Murder of Lisa Anstey Killer in Uniform? The Cop Suspect Police had the killer's DNA profile and suspected serial killer Peter Dale MacDonald—but the DNA didn't match. The street workers had a different suspect: a cop, K.L., known to use his position to threaten and assault the girls he was supposed to protect. One victim told me: 'If you didn't fight him you'd be okay.' Was Lisa's "scrapper" attitude the reason she died? We investigate. Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
