  • Shattered Innocence: The Murders Leanne McFarlane and Jeffrey Taylor
    Apr 21 2025
    Episode 362: On the morning of May 29, 2010, gunshots shattered the quiet of a rural property just outside Cranbrook, British Columbia. By the time police arrived at the scene, two lives had been tragically cut short in an apparent case of mistaken identity. The victims were Jeffrey Todd Taylor, 42, and Leanne Laura MacFarlane, 43, a couple who had been renting half of a duplex on a large piece of land for about three months. They had no connection to the criminal underworld and appeared to have been innocent victims caught in the crossfire of a drug gang dispute. Over the last 15 years, authorities and the couple’s family and friends have fought to bring their killers to justice.

  • POWs in Canada and the Murders at Camp 132
    Apr 14 2025
    Episode 362: We explore chilling events that unfolded at POW Camp 132 in Medicine Hat, Alberta, during World War II. This prisoner-of-war camp, one of many scattered across Canada, became the site of two brutal murders that shocked even hardened veterans and led to Canada's last mass execution. In the summer of 1943, August Plaszek, a former French Foreign Legion soldier forcibly integrated into the German army, met a gruesome end at the hands of Nazi hardliners within the camp. Just over a year later, in September 1944, Karl Lehmann, a university professor turned Luftwaffe interpreter, suffered a similar fate for daring to share news of Germany's failing war effort with his fellow prisoners. These murders, born from the complex dynamics of a “little piece of Germany” transplanted to the Canadian prairies, would set in motion a series of dramatic trials that tested the limits of Canadian justice and international law.

RESPECTFUL.

attention is paid to the victims. none of the criminals are glorified. but this is more than true crime. It looks at the history of Canada, that does not get a lot of attention, dark incidents and the events surrounding them. My favourite is the episode about the Halifax explosion. although I would love it to be updated with the superior co-host who would add more depth. I want to hear more history!

Very well done and respectful

Just the right balance of info to satisfy curiosity without over the top graphic details. They tell the stories of the victims and their families in respectful ways.
