Canadian Killers Series Finale: Isolated Incidents
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).
