  A Mother’s Tragic End - The Unsolved Murder of Sophie Filion In the shadows of Ottawa’s streets, a mother’s desperate fight for her children ended in tragedy. Sophie Filion, a 23-year-old with wavy brown hair and a fierce love for her two young kids, was found strangled in December 1993, her body stuffed into garbage bags in a Westboro parking lot. Clad only in a slip, she had been left for days—a chilling echo of a killer’s cruelty. Was Sophie the victim of a random act, or one of many in a sinister pattern targeting Ottawa’s sex workers? Last seen on November 15, 1993, leaving her Vanier home for the ByWard Market, Sophie stepped into a white delivery van near Kent and Laurier Streets, never to return. Despite police narrowing their focus to a single suspect, her killer remains free, and the question looms: Was a serial killer stalking the city’s most vulnerable? With possible links to the 1990 murder of 16-year-old Melinda Sheppit and a 2012 police warning of a deadly pattern,...

  Unresolved: The Tragic Case of Melinda Sheppit  A single snakeskin stiletto lies abandoned in an Ottawa parking lot. Beside a dumpster, the lifeless body of 16-year-old Melinda Sheppit tells a story of heartbreak and horror. Strangled and left for dead on September 30, 1990, the beautiful high school student had been drawn into a dangerous world, working the streets for just three weeks. Over three decades later, her murder remains unsolved—and the chilling question lingers: Was a serial killer hunting Ottawa’s most vulnerable? In this gripping episode of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast , we unravel the haunting mystery of Melinda’s death. Pregnant and trapped by a ruthless pimp, her life was spiraling. A psychological profile points to an introverted “night owl” killer, but no one has faced justice. As police hint at connections to other unsolved murders, including that of Sophie Filion, whispers of a predator still at large cast a shadow over the city. Don...

  Shadows in the Smoke - Where is Eli Wood? In the pre-dawn chill of October 19, flames devoured a quiet Kitchener apartment, leaving nothing but ash and echoes. Wilfrid Laurier University social work student Eli Wood—4'10" of fierce spirit, crowned with white hair and inked with defiant tattoos of flowers, seahorses, and rainbows—vanished into the inferno. Arson, the police whisper. Targeted. No body. No trace. From the fog-shrouded streets of Nova Scotia to the shadowed halls of Ontario's campuses, Eli's story ignites a chilling hunt. Why him? A "geeky" trailblazer with green eyes that pierced the ordinary, now suspected prey in a web of hate and hidden motives. Detectives circle like ghosts, guarding secrets that could unravel a hate crime—or bury the truth forever. His mother's pleas echo across social media: Where is my boy? As leads flicker and fade, one certainty burns bright: foul play has claimed Eli Wood. But in the heart of the blaze, a single ...
