Ep. 1: A Sister’s Love - The Murder of Lynne Knight
A Sister’s Love: The Murder of Lynne Knight
When a young Canadian nurse is brutally murdered in a suburb of Los Angeles in 1979, the police are baffled by what the killer has left behind – a homemade garotte used to strangle the victim. They are certain the unique weapon will lead them to her killer. But without any other evidence the case eventually goes cold.
Years go by and a family in Stratford, Ontario is left to mourn their beautiful daughter, but the victim’s sister is not willing to let a vicious killer escape justice even if she has to write to the President of the United States.
Finally, a cold case team reinvestigates the murder and reexamines that unique homemade weapon. Fresh eyes find new evidence and the suspected killer is arrested and charged. But thirty-five years later can a jury be convinced of his guilt and will a determined sister and a grieving family finally get justice?

Ep. 1: Sins Of The Son - The Disappearance Of Minnie Ford
Ep. 1: Sins Of The Son - The Disappearance Of Minnie Ford
When a well-to-do recently widowed mother disappears from her suburban home the police are baffled. She didn’t take any money or clothing, and no one has seen or heard from her in days. It’s 1963 in a city known as “Toronto the good,” and middle-aged women just don’t disappear. Rumors spread that she’s taken off with a new man to Florida but her family is convinced she would never leave her teenage son. But strangely that same 16-year-old son forgot to report his mother missing and doesn’t seem too upset over her disappearance.
It will take three long years before a battered body is discovered but it won’t take police investigators long to figure out who’s responsible for the missing mother’s grisly demise.

Fake Nurse - The Story of Brigitte Cleroux
Fake Nurse: The Story of Brigitte Cleroux
In the fall of 2021, hundreds of women in British Columbia received a letter from the B.C. Women’s Hospital. It informed them that during their recent time in hospital, they had been treated by a woman who had posed as a nurse without any qualifications.
Apparently, the imposter nurse had a long history of fraud, forgery and impersonation. Her real name was Brigitte Cleroux, and she had spent thirty years taking on nursing jobs and teaching positions, none of which she was qualified to do.
But what did this mean for the women who had been treated by her? Some had experienced extreme pain during their procedures -pain so bad procedures were called off. One woman lost sensation in both of her hands for two weeks as a result of Cleroux’s botched attempts to insert an IV needle. And others discovered they were given inappropriate medications, including Fentanyl.
After finally being arrested and charged in Ontario, investigators began to unravel a web of lies and deceit that spanned the country. Exactly how many patients were treated and possibly harmed by the fake nurse and how did Brigitte Cleroux fool so many for so long?
