On May 12, 1997, the body of 21-year-old Lisa Anstey was found strangled in a downtown Toronto laneway, near the notorious homeless camp "Street City." Known as a "scrapper, tough as nails," Lisa was a small First Nations woman and sex trade worker who had been on the streets since age 11.

She was fully clothed, but her right running shoe was missing—a potential trophy for a killer police believed had transported her from another location.

Lisa's murder occurred amid a grim series of unsolved homicides targeting Toronto sex workers. Police chased leads, including DNA linking the killer to a white male with light hair. They even questioned convicted killer Peter Dale MacDonald, whose charges in similar cases were ultimately dropped.

But host Jay Nicoll uncovers a darker theory: whispers among street workers pointing to a known area cop, referred to as K.L., who demanded sex and threatened arrest.

Who silenced Lisa Anstey, and why did her shoe disappear? Her murder remains unsolved.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

In 1997, Lisa Anstey was a fighter. But even a fighter can't win against a killer with a plan.

Strangled, dumped in a high-traffic area. Her missing shoe—a sign of struggle, or a trophy?

The investigation points to a serial predator. Was it a convicted murderer, or was the killer hiding in plain sight... wearing a badge?

The unsolved case of Lisa Anstey. The silence is deafening.

Coming Sunday November 30th.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

In the shadows of Ottawa’s streets, a mother’s desperate fight for her children ended in tragedy. Sophie Filion, a 23-year-old with wavy brown hair and a fierce love for her two young kids, was found strangled in December 1993, her body stuffed into garbage bags in a Westboro parking lot. Clad only in a slip, she had been left for days—a chilling echo of a killer’s cruelty. Was Sophie the victim of a random act, or one of many in a sinister pattern targeting Ottawa’s sex workers?

Last seen on November 15, 1993, leaving her Vanier home for the ByWard Market, Sophie stepped into a white delivery van near Kent and Laurier Streets, never to return. Despite police narrowing their focus to a single suspect, her killer remains free, and the question looms: Was a serial killer stalking the city’s most vulnerable? With possible links to the 1990 murder of 16-year-old Melinda Sheppit and a 2012 police warning of a deadly pattern, Sophie’s case holds clues that could unlock a decades-old mystery.

A single snakeskin stiletto lies abandoned in an Ottawa parking lot. Beside a dumpster, the lifeless body of 16-year-old Melinda Sheppit tells a story of heartbreak and horror. Strangled and left for dead on September 30, 1990, the beautiful high school student had been drawn into a dangerous world, working the streets for just three weeks. Over three decades later, her murder remains unsolved—and the chilling question lingers: Was a serial killer hunting Ottawa’s most vulnerable?

In this gripping episode of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, we unravel the haunting mystery of Melinda’s death. Pregnant and trapped by a ruthless pimp, her life was spiraling. A psychological profile points to an introverted “night owl” killer, but no one has faced justice. As police hint at connections to other unsolved murders, including that of Sophie Filion, whispers of a predator still at large cast a shadow over the city.

In the pre-dawn chill of October 19, flames devoured a quiet Kitchener apartment, leaving nothing but ash and echoes. Wilfrid Laurier University social work student Eli Wood—4'10" of fierce spirit, crowned with white hair and inked with defiant tattoos of flowers, seahorses, and rainbows—vanished into the inferno. Arson, the police whisper. Targeted. No body. No trace.

From the fog-shrouded streets of Nova Scotia to the shadowed halls of Ontario's campuses, Eli's story ignites a chilling hunt. Why him? A "geeky" trailblazer with green eyes that pierced the ordinary, now suspected prey in a web of hate and hidden motives. Detectives circle like ghosts, guarding secrets that could unravel a hate crime—or bury the truth forever. His mother's pleas echo across social media: Where is my boy?

As leads flicker and fade, one certainty burns bright: foul play has claimed Eli Wood. But in the heart of the blaze, a single spark of justice refuses to die. Will it light the way home... or consume everything in its path?

Based on the harrowing true disappearance of Eli Wood. If you know anything, call Waterloo Regional Police or Crime Stoppers. His family waits.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

In the quiet town of Hilton Beach, Ontario, a 14-year-old boy named Justin Pollari walked through his front door on December 7, 2001... and vanished into the night.

Troubled by a broken home and carrying the weight of a fight he wouldn’t explain, Justin grabbed his skateboard, stuffed a backpack with clothes, and ran. A scrape on his lip. A six-inch Mohawk hidden under a black toque. Red running shoes fading into the darkness.

A gas station attendant in Sault Ste. Marie—67 kilometers away—swears they saw him climb into a Quik X truck, headed for the unknown. His family believed he was bound for Toronto. But the sprawling city swallowed every trace of him. Searches turned up nothing. Sightings flickered, then faded.

Was Justin running from his past—or toward something no one could predict? Did he start a new life as “Joe,” wearing a wooden name tag etched with “Woody”? Now, at 36 years old, is he still out there, hiding in plain sight?

Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast dives into the mystery of Justin Pollari’s disappearance. We unravel the clues, chase the sightings, and ask the question that haunts a family: What happened to Justin?

Don’t miss the trail of a boy who vanished—and the truth that’s still out there.

On a chilly July evening in 1944, nine-year-old Richard “Peewee” Marlow pedaled his sister’s bicycle into the twilight of south Etobicoke’s Beta Street—and vanished without a trace. At just 3’8” and 50 pounds, the blond-haired, blue-eyed boy with a scar on his temple was too small to disappear unnoticed. Yet, despite desperate searches by police, army militia, and a heartbroken community, no sign of Peewee—or his fate—has ever been found. The bicycle, left abandoned in the yard, holds secrets that refuse to speak.

What happened to the boy in the dark blue windbreaker and striped jersey, wearing an enigmatic aluminium ring etched with the initials K.L.? Did he wander too far? Or did something—or someone—lurk in the shadows of that quiet Toronto street? Decades later, with his siblings gone and only DNA samples preserved, the truth remains elusive.

Dive into the chilling enigma of Richard “Peewee” Marlow with Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast. Every clue, every question, every haunting detail awaits. Will you help unravel the mystery? Subscribe now and join the quest for justice.
