  • Canadian Killers Series Finale: Isolated Incidents
    Sep 24 2024

    If you’ve been along for the ride with us, you know by now that the Southern portion of Ontario, Canada, once claimed the undesirable title of 'Serial Killer Capital of the World.' That’s because between 1959 and 1983 there were reportedly more active serial killers per capita than compared to anywhere else on earth.

    Over the past eight weeks, we have covered three convicted serial killers in that region and no less than 17 heartbreaking murders of young women and young men across Ontario, Canada, throughout the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.

    It’s been one heck of a rollercoaster ride and today is the final chapter of our Canadian Killers series. We will dive into the final group of victims- those that might be isolated incidents or so-called ‘one-off’ murders. But we urge you to pay attention because some small threads weave between this case and the previous modus operandi we've seen in other murders throughout this series.

    This is the eighth and final episode in our Canadian Killers series, which is now exploring a rash of unsolved homicides that occurred during the period when multiple serial killers were active. Perhaps, through your sleuthing, you can help to solve some of these crimes and bring resolution to the victims' families.

    If you have any information on the unsolved cases covered in this episode, the tip line for The Ontario Association of Crime Stoppers is 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

    Over the course of 17 years no fewer than seven young women vanished from roadsides around London, Ontario. Many of them were seen in what was likely one of their final acts climbing into a car. Could these unsolved murders have been the work of one man… a roadside stalker?

  • The Sinister Sergeant
    Aug 20 2024

    Two innocent lives stolen. One caused by a man who vanished without a trace… the other led to a wrongful conviction. But could these two tragedies be linked by one Royal Canadian Air Force Sergeant—a man with a dark history of targeting young women, who somehow slipped through the cracks?

    In this episode, we explore the possibility that these two unsolved cases are connected by a dangerous man who was overlooked for far too long.

    This is the fourth episode in our Canadian Killers series, which is now exploring a rash of unsolved homicides that occurred during the time period where multiple serial killers were active.

  • The Bedroom Strangler
    Aug 7 2024

    For eight years an obsessive-compulsive psychopath was killing women between London and Guelph, in Ontario, Canada.

    He was so meticulous during his crimes, that for years police didn’t even know his first four victims were murdered… which of course made it all the more terrifying when residents finally realized that evil had been lurking amongst them in the shadows and, sometimes, even at the foot of their beds in the middle of the night.

    Russell Maurice Johnson was charged with three murders. He confessed in detail to four more and reportedly claimed he was responsible for even more.

    Due to a Canadian law, Johnson is entitled to annual reviews of his case, which means the families of his victims must attend to voice thier opposition to his potential release to the public or a lower-level security facility. They don't believe he should ever be released and they urge the public to pay attention to his Ontario Review Board (ORB) parole hearings. (ORB File No. 0456). You can learn how to request to attend Johnson's hearings at this link: Ontario Parole Board - Observe a hearing

    This is the third episode in our Canadian Killers series, which will end with a focus on the unsolved homicides that occurred during the time period where multiple serial killers were active. Perhaps, through your sleuthing, you can help to solve some of these crimes and bring resolution to the victims' families.
