    [ Part 1 of 4 ] Sheppard v Bryant


    On August 31, 2009, there was a catastrophic collision between a cyclist and a motorist on a busy downtown Toronto street — a collision so unfathomable that it shocked bystanders and the city at large. 


    Darcy Allan Sheppard died on the street that night. The motorist, former Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant was arrested, charged, and released the next morning. The way the case unfolded in the media – and the justice system – would be hotly debated for years to come.

  • 36-year old Susan Klassen had only lived in Whitehorse for a few years, but she made a considerable impact on the local community as a renowned modern storyteller with the Yukon International Storytelling Festival. Susan’s death—and the public outrage that followed—was named the #1 story in the Yukon for 1997.


    “Throughout her life, she deeply touched the lives and hearts of many. Along with her love of nature, one of Susan’s greatest joys was to share her talent of storytelling.” - Obituary

  • Part 2 of 2] The murder of 18-year-old Kimberly Proctor shocked her community and made national headlines. But as investigators soon discovered, there were many red flags and warning signs that weren’t taken seriously.


    Through this series, we utilize case files released by police as well as relevant studies, statistics and scholarly articles to examine a number of issues related to the dynamics of teenage relationships in the online era. Our goal is to highlight common manipulation tactics employed by abusive people, the pitfalls of navigating consent, boundaries and rejection, mental health, nature vs nurture and more. This series is closely related to our previous episode titled Cherish.


    Additional content warning: this series includes graphic and distressing details of a murder and sexual assault, and while not the focus of the case there is brief mention of sexual assault against a child and cruelty to animals. 


    Please respect the privacy of those involved in this case.


    This month, Canadian True Crime has donated in Kimberly’s memory to BC SPCA Wild Arc, the wildlife rescue organization she planned to start volunteering with.

  • Today we're pleased to share with you the first episode of Pretendians - a riveting new podcast series that looks at some of the most prominent and successful Indigenous artists, leaders and professors who all have something in common: they aren’t Indigenous.


    There are hundreds of cases of Indigenous identity fraud that we know about, and likely thousands that we do not.

    So why do these so-called “pretendians” do it? How do they pull it off? And what happens when they are exposed? 


    In each episode of Pretendians, co-hosts Robert Jago (Kwantlen First Nation and Nooksack Indian Tribe) and Angel Ellis (Muscogee (Creek) Nation) reveal unbelievable stories of audacious fraudsters and investigate the complex phenomenon of Indigenous identity theft.


    We hope you enjoy this episode, and we'll see you soon!

  • They've been called bizarre by some, amusing by others, and downright terrifying by those involved... but one thing these cases all have in common is that they're all true.

  • Sheslay Free Mike terrorized the north for more than a decade. His real name was Michael Oros, and he's been remembered as a legend of the north, the other “mad trapper”, a folk hero… and a cold-blooded killer. But there's much more to this story than meets the eye...


    This two-part series takes a look back at a well-known, historic case that was sensationalized through headlines, to show that behind it was a real, human story.


    Special thanks to Garry Rodgers, Bob Buday, and Ed Hill, and to Craig Baird of Canadian History EhX for voiceover of the Oros diaries.

  • Additional content warning: This case is about the death of a baby, and there is mention of domestic violence and animal abuse. Please take care when listening.


    After the disappearance of a baby in Windsor in 1990, lurid headlines on both sides of the Detroit River quickly turned the baby’s teen parents into sordid celebrities.


    The intention of this episode is to take a look back at a shocking crime sensationalized through headlines, how it captured public attention and inspired vigilante justice. It also reveals the stark differences between Canadian and American news coverage that played a pivotal role in the way this crime—and the stories about this crime—played out.

    After the body of a blonde-haired woman is found in an icy ditch by the side of the road, it proves difficult to get to the bottom of what happened to her - and who was ultimately responsible.


    The intention of this episode is to shine a light on the inner workings of our criminal justice system in the context of the “open court principle”—which assumes that public confidence in the integrity of the court system and administration of justice is fostered by openness and full publicity.
