    72. The Starlight Tours
    Mar 26 2026
    For decades, Indigenous communities in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan whispered about a police practice called a "starlight tour" — officers detaining First Nations men and abandoning them on the frozen outskirts of the city in sub-zero temperatures. In this episode, we trace the story from the 1990 death of seventeen-year-old Neil Stonechild, found frozen with handcuff marks on his wrists, to the harrowing winter of 2000, when two more frozen bodies were discovered near the same power station where survivor Darrell Night had barely escaped with his life days earlier. Night's courage in coming forward shattered decades of denial, triggered a landmark public inquiry, and forced a nation to confront a truth it had long refused to hear. Patreon Sources: CBC News.

    71. The Mad Bomber: George Metesky
    Mar 12 2026

    For 16 years, spanning from the 1940s to 1950s, bombs were left around prominent locations of New York City, including Consolidated Edison buildings. The only information surrounding who might be responsible for these attacks came down to notes sent and left by the bomber signed, "F.P." That's when investigators had a novel idea: talk to someone trained in psychology and come up with a sort of 'picture' of who might carry out this type of terrorism...and it worked!

    69. The Stalking and Murder of Kristil Krug
    Jan 22 2026

    It was about mid-morning on December 14, 2023 and Kristil Krug was not responding to texts. Because she had recently been receiving messages from a stalker, the police response to her silence was quick. Unfortunately, this was how her body was discovered, and the investigation into this case led police straight to the front door of the man who she had reported weeks prior as her stalker.

    68. The Lead Masks Case
    Jan 8 2026
    In this episode of Until the End of Crime, Cameron and Hayden travel back to 1966 Brazil to investigate the baffling "Lead Masks Case." On the rough terrain of Vintém Hill, two electronics technicians—Manoel Pereira da Cruz and Miguel José Viana—were discovered dead, dressed in formal suits and raincoats, with crude lead masks covering their eyes. With no signs of struggle and a cryptic note instructing them to "ingest capsules" and "await the signal," the scene sits at the bizarre intersection of Scientific Spiritualism, UFO mania, and potential foul play. We dissect the botched police investigation, the missing money, and the strange radioactive theories to determine if these men were victims of a confidence game or something far more otherworldly.

    In April 2018, Holmdel High School Stadium had a mystery on their hands: someone was relieving themselves on the track. This became a daily occurrence which resulted in a sting operation to bring the pooper to justice.

    66. The Disappearance of Steven Clark
    Dec 4 2025
    In this episode of Until the End of Crime, hosts Hayden and Cameron investigate the baffling 1992 disappearance of Steven Clark, a mystery that defies the laws of physics and haunts the misty coast of Saltburn-by-the-Sea. They reconstruct the "Public Restroom Paradox," where a twenty-three-year-old man with severe disabilities entered a public toilet on a bleak bank holiday afternoon and seemingly vanished into the sea air while his mother waited just yards away. Hayden and Cameron analyze the cold case’s shocking 2020 reactivation, which saw Steven’s elderly parents arrested on suspicion of murder, and dissect the crucial witness testimony that rewrote the timeline and exposed the tragic complexities of a family under the microscope of suspicion.
