Crimehub: A True Crime Podcast

Edwin Alonzo Boyd, a former soldier and family man, transformed into one of Canada’s most infamous criminals. Initially seen as a charming "Robin Hood," Boyd led a gang of armed robbers in the 1950s, orchestrating elaborate heists while evading capture. His life of crime included daring prison escapes, violent shootouts, and a reputation as a cunning master of disguise. The public fascination with Boyd turned to horror after a police detective’s death, sealing his gang’s fate. Later in life, Boyd hinted at a chilling secret—a possible connection to an unsolved double murder from 1947. Though he confessed to journalist Brian Vallée, Boyd escaped final justice, taking the full truth to his grave in 2002.
