In our twenty-third episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss a crime spree that took place in London Ontario during the 1960s-1980s that left dozens dead and many more with unanswered questions.
On October 4, 1969, Jackie English needed a ride home from work. She had just gotten a second job working at The Metropolitan and her mother usually picked her up when her shift was over, as they both worked on Highway 401, on the edge of London, Ontario. However, this day, Jackie's mother was home recovering from surgery, and Jackie needed a ride. Thankfully she had made some new friends and they were going to pick her up.
She got into their car after work, and the driver closed the door behind her. Then, instead of driving back to London, the car started down the 401, away from the city, and towards Jackie's death.
Jackie's body would be found five days later, beaten, raped and naked. But the police didn't have the means to investigate her crime, and to this day the case is unsolved. Why didn't they have the time to investigate it? They were already investigating seven other women who were abducted and killed within the past two years. From 1968 - 1984, or 1959 - 1984 depending on who you ask, London Ontario had a string of serial killings, and only a handful of people were brought to justice. It is believed that there were between 6-9 serial killers in operation during this period, killing over 30 people.
But why did this happen? What was the reason? In this episode we talk about the killers, not the victims, the Chambermaid Slayer, the Mad Slasher, and the Bedroom Stranger. Lock your doors -- especially your balconies. You never know who or what might be crawling in.

In our twenty-second episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Canada's oldest documented case of demonic possession, the story of Barbe Hallay of 1660.
Barbe Hallay would find employment at Beauport, New France (outside modern-day Quebec City) as a teenager. However, not long after getting her position there, a man knocked on the door, requesting her hand in marriage. His name was Daniel Vuil.
Although only 13, Hallay was old enough to consent to wedding proposals, and declined Vuil's offer. This enraged Vuil, and the story goes that he would leave the property, return home and summon demons from the depths of hell to terrorize Hallay into loving him.
This story contains some early famous high-profile Canadians, gruesome murders, spirits, demons, and a mother's love.

In our twenty-first episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss The Lost Lemmon Mine.
In 1870, Joe Lemmon and Blackjack were prospecting near the North Saskatchewan River not far from Calgary, Alberta. They would find gold placer deposits along the shoreline, and quickly found the primary gold vein. After mining the gold, and filling what bags they could, they settled in for the night. When the sun rose the next morning, Blackjack was dead and Lemmon fled the camp in terror.
When Lemmon arrived back to civilization, he had the gold ore assessed and discovered he had brought back around $27,000 worth of gold and ore. That is around $700,000 today. A second prospecting party was created, but time and time again, something would happen that prevented them from finding their gold -- thus, the Curse of the Lost Lemmon Mine began.
Come listen to a story filled with gold-seeking adventurers, unexplained murders, ghosts, and a flood in 2005 that might have found clues to solving the whole thing.

In our twentieth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss The Mad Trapper Of Sheslay.
Michael Oros, or The Mad Trapper Of Sheslay, moved to Alaska in an attempt to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War. After finding the conditions in Fairbanks too desolate, he moved south, into northern British Columbia to the abandoned mining village of Sheslay.
As time passed, Oros became more and more isolated from the world, and became more and more paranoid. He began writing about "sneak arounds" that would follow him in the shadows, and about “torture druggers,” who experimented and poisoned him.
Over several decades, Oros went from being a nuisance to a menace, but it was the disappearance of a fellow recluse, ex-Nazi Gunther Lishy, that got the police's attention. As Oros became more violent, his actions devolved further and further away from a person, and more into a monster.
Come listen to a story that is sure to make you sit up and wonder what happened that day on March 19, 1985.
