#30 - The Serial Killer of Toronto's Gay Village

約 1 年前 27:47

MP3•エピソードのホーム

The Toronto Police Service were unequipped to handle these murders and were unfamiliar with the LGBTQA+ community they were taking part in. All signs pointed to a man named Bruce McArthur, but McArthur was a senior citizen, who landscaped for a living and volunteered as Santa Claus in the malls.

However, as the investigation continued, more of McArthur's life became known to the authorities. From a tough childhood, a messy divorce, bankruptcy, a troubled son, and more than one report of him being violent or aggressive, the police began to wonder if McArthur was involved, and if so, what happened to these missing men. As more and more men went missing, the search continued and the answer seemed further and further from the norm.

In our thirtieth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Christina Koutsi, Dylan Fairman and Kenton de Jong discuss the disappearance and subsequent murders of several men from Toronto's Gay Village during the early 2010s. The Toronto Police Service were unequipped to handle these murders and were unfamiliar with the LGBTQA+ community they were taking part in. All signs pointed to a man named Bruce McArthur, but McArthur was a senior citizen, who landscaped for a living and volunteered as Santa Claus in the malls.

In our twenty-ninth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Christina Koutsi, Dylan Fairman and Kenton de Jong discuss the life and death of Charles Coughlin, a British actor who is more famous in death than when he was alive. Coughlin had a colourful life, from messy marriages, summer homes, a fluctuating acting career, and an unfortunate bankruptcy. However, he is more known for the legend that happened after his passing. While in Texas performing The Royal Box , he became gravely ill and passed after a month of sickness. His body would be interred in a temporary grave in Galveston, Texas while his family discussed what to do with it -- should he be buried at his summer home in PEI, or should he be cremated and buried in New York instead? After a year of discussions, nature made the choice for them, and the incredibly deadly Galveston Hurrican of 1901 struck the city, destroying building, killing thousands, and smashing many mausoleums, including the one Charles Coughlin was resting in. His coffin would then be pulled out into the ocean... and the mystery would begin. What happened to Charles Coughlin's coffin? Come listen to our new episode and find out!…

In our twenty-eighth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong, Dylan Fairman and Christina Koutsi venture to the First Wolseley Cemetery. The cemetery is said to contain the graves of many early Wolseley settlers, men and women, who struggled against all odds to make the town of Wolseley possible. However, most of the wooden graves were lost to a fire in 1905, and the cemetery needed to be abandoned. The town of Wolseley began using a new cemetery instead, and this one was supposedly forgotten. This has created many stories of the cemetery being haunted by intelligent spirits, sounds of growling from the shadows, and a creepy feeling. However, when we visited the cemetery, we found it very maintained and in good condition. Many graves were missing, but the cemetery didn't have an uncomfortable vibe. It was a very well taken cared for and respected cemetery. Many interesting discoveries were made, but nothing paranormal was recorded... or was there? Come watch our second-ever on-location paranormal investigation into the First Wolseley Cemetery!…

In our twenty-seventh episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss the 1903 and follow-up 1907 sightings of a strange creature near Partridge River in the Yukon. The 1903 sighting was by Georges Dupuy, James Lewis Buttler, Tom Leemore, Father Pierre Lavagneux, and five First Nations individuals. The 1907 sighting was by Father Pierre Lavagneux and ten First Nations individuals. Both describe a large creature, approximately 30 feet long, with feet five feet long, and claws a foot long. It was 12 feet wide, with a 10 foot long tail. It also had a small, square horn on its nose and the face of a dog. It was believed that the beast they encountered was a dinosaur, most likely a Ceratosaurus or at least another kind of theropod. The idea of a dinosaur living in the Yukon is absurd, but with additional sightings in 1928 in Siberia, as well as 1999 in Fairbanks, Alaska, you can't help but wonder, what is the monster of Partridge Creek?

In our twenty-sixth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Jerome, the legless, mysterious man who appeared on the shores of Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia in 1863. Eight-year-old George Albright was the first to discover Jerome, and once realizing what this lump on the beach was, he immediately went for help. Once brought to the Albright residence, the family tried to figure out where he was from, and who he was, only to learn he did not speak English, French, Italian, Spanish or Latin. For several years Jerome was taken care for by the people of Digby, Nova Scotia, but eventually, they sent him to Megeghan, Nova Scotia, a primarily Catholic community because they determined Jerome was Catholic too. It was here that Jerome would be put on display to an audience, a roadside attraction, and became famous for being a legless wonder. But who was Jerome? Where did he come from? And where did his legs go? Listen to the podcast and find out!…

In our twenty-fifth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Mekayla Bali's disappearance which occurred on April 12, 2016. Bali was a 16-year-old girl from Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Considered a "homebody", "quiet", "shy" and a "good listener", she always dreamed of travelling to a city like Regina or Saskatoon. She was an introvert and spent much of her time on her phone, using anonymous texting apps to talk to different people online. One of these apps was Kik, an app known to be used by child groomers. On April 11th, 2016, Bali told her friends she was going on a trip and asked one of them for a ride to the bank that evening. They could not help her, so she called the bank instead and deposited $25 into her account. She would tell her friends that she would have $5,000 in her account and wanted a ride to the bank the next morning, but her friends told her that the bank didn't open until 9am. Police records show she had nowhere near that amount of money in her account. The next morning Bali would get dropped off at school, then walk right through the school and out the back door, five minutes later. Security cameras throughout Yorkton would track her movements, from pawn shops, gas stations, coffee shops, back to the highschool, and eventually to a restaurant where she would ultimately disappear. Bali left behind little to help authorities find what happened to her. Their investigation was further delayed because of the 10-month delay the RCMP had while dealing with US social media privacy regulations. When they finally did gain access, they had more questions than answers. What happened to Bali on that day in 2016? Was it drug-related? Did she commit suicide? Or was it a romance gone wrong?

In our eighth Patreon exclusive episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton and Dylan discuss the authenticity of T. G. Hamilton's famous ectoplasmic photography. Thomas Glendenning and Lillian May Hamilton were faced with the sudden loss of their son due to the Spanish Influenza of 1918. Like many people at the time, they were struggling to cope with the meaning of life and death. However, T. G. recounted a conversation with a colleague at the University of Manitoba a few years prior. His colleague told him about a psychic he had met stateside, and how amazed he was by her abilities to contact the dead. The desire to communicate with their son drove T. G. and Lillian to begin experimenting as well. What started with Ouiji boards quickly evolved into full-blown ectoplasmic photography. By including witnesses and an entire wall of cameras, their documentation, and recordings about what they summoned brought them into the international spotlight. Everybody from former prime ministers to famous authors came to witness their seances. But a hundred years later, ectoplasmic photography is no longer popular, and many who participated were found to be frauds. T. G. Hamilton and his wife were an exception, and their photography remains unexplained. For our attempt to explain T. G. Hamiton's ectoplasmic photography, check out our new episode!…

In our twenty-fourth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Edwin Fuhr's close encounter of the second kind, which occurred on Septemeber 1st, 1974. Edwin Fuhr was a farmer near Langenburg, Saskatchewan and was out one morning harvesting his canola, when he rode his swather up a small hill on his property. From this vantage point, he saw five strange metallic objects in a semi-circle-like shape, all hovering silently near a slough. He approached the objects on foot, noticing their dimensions, the speed in which they were rotating, and any feelings of uneasiness he felt near them. He then returned to his swather and waited until eventually the objects flew up and away from him, blasting him with steam. He would return home to tell his family what he saw, only to discover time had passed. After lunch, we went out to the spot with his father to show him where the objects were hovering. It was around this time that Edwin's wife told his sister, and his sister told her husband and her husband called the RCMP. It was after this moment that Edwin's life changed, a mass of humanity descended upon his farm. What did Edwin see that day in 1974? Was it alien in origin? Was it a secret military aircraft? And did he really get a call from Neil Armstrong? Listen to the podcast and find out!…

In our seventh Patreon exclusive episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, we explore the story of the Calgary mummy. In 1948, the Pearce family moved into 1805 20th Avenue NW in Calgary, Alberta. From the moment they arrived, Mrs. Pearce began complaining that something felt off about the place. She used the term "creepy presence". Their daughters also said the same thing and said they felt like they were being watched. That night, while doing dishes, one of the daughters screamed. She claimed a disembodied, ghostly hand touched her. After calming the girls down and settling them into bed, Alfred Pearce noticed some of the floorboards in the bedroom were sagging. He took a look at the crawl space and noticed some of the support beams had been removed. He then began to pry up the old floorboards... and what he found caused him to wake his children, get his wife, and run out of the house as fast as they could. As the police began investigating, more and more questions emerged, and very few answers. What did the find under the floorboards? Who put it there? And when exactly did it happen? For all those answers and more, find out in our new episode!…

In our sixth Patreon exclusive episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, we explore the legend of the Okanagan lake monster, Ogopogo. Ogopogo, originally called "na-it-aka", or "spirit of the water" by the Syilx people, is a legendary lake spirit that controlled passage across Lake Okanagan. Legends even claim a story where a visiting chief came to the lake and did not provide an offering for a safe passage across the lake, and the monster responded by drowning their canoes. A similar even would occur with European settlers many centuries later where their horses would be attacked in the water by something with sharp claws and teeth. Centuries later, the monster would be renamed Ogopogo by the most unlikely source and would take on a life of its own. Many theories have emerged of what it might be -- from lake otters, methane bubbles, large eels or sturgeon fishes, and even the possibility of an ancient dinosaur. With sightings almost every year, various agencies have tried to find the elusive creature -- so much so that two lucrative rewards have been created to find or debunk it -- prompting the provincial government to enact legislation to preserve it. What is this "spirit of the water"? Is it just a myth, or something more? Find out in our new episode!…

27:42

In our twenty-third episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss a crime spree that took place in London Ontario during the 1960s-1980s that left dozens dead and many more with unanswered questions. On October 4, 1969, Jackie English needed a ride home from work. She had just gotten a second job working at The Metropolitan and her mother usually picked her up when her shift was over, as they both worked on Highway 401, on the edge of London, Ontario. However, this day, Jackie's mother was home recovering from surgery, and Jackie needed a ride. Thankfully she had made some new friends and they were going to pick her up. She got into their car after work, and the driver closed the door behind her. Then, instead of driving back to London, the car started down the 401, away from the city, and towards Jackie's death. Jackie's body would be found five days later, beaten, raped and naked. But the police didn't have the means to investigate her crime, and to this day the case is unsolved. Why didn't they have the time to investigate it? They were already investigating seven other women who were abducted and killed within the past two years. From 1968 - 1984, or 1959 - 1984 depending on who you ask, London Ontario had a string of serial killings, and only a handful of people were brought to justice. It is believed that there were between 6-9 serial killers in operation during this period, killing over 30 people. But why did this happen? What was the reason? In this episode we talk about the killers, not the victims, the Chambermaid Slayer, the Mad Slasher, and the Bedroom Stranger. Lock your doors -- especially your balconies. You never know who or what might be crawling in.…

In our fifth Patreon exclusive episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, we explore the August 1, 1989 disappearance of Doreen Jack (26) Ronald “Ronnie” Jack, (26), Russel Jack (9), and Ryan Jack (4). The story begins at First Litre Pub near Prince George, British Columbia, where Ronnie is approached by an unknown man at the bar. Ronnie is looking for work, and the man mentions a job opportunity not too far from a local lumber mill. Ronnie could work at the mill, Doreen could work in the kitchen, and they have a daycare program for the kids. There is only one catch, the man says -- we have to leave now. Ronnie gets home and Doreen the offer. They pack up the kids, get a few belongings, and pile into the truck. The work program should only be for a few weeks as the kids need to return to school in September. They never returned. That itself is strange enough, but the botched police investigation, the missed evidence, and the many times the family fell through the cracks in the police system make you wonder what exactly happened that night in 1989.…

Barbe Hallay would find employment at Beauport, New France (outside modern-day Quebec City) as a teenager. However, not long after getting her position there, a man knocked on the door, requesting her hand in marriage. His name was Daniel Vuil. Although only 13, Hallay was old enough to consent to wedding proposals, and declined Vuil's offer. This enraged Vuil, and the story goes that he would leave the property, return home and summon demons from the depths of hell to terrorize Hallay into loving him. This story contains some early famous high-profile Canadians, gruesome murders, spirits, demons, and a mother's love. Come check it out for our Halloween Special!…

In our twenty-first episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss The Lost Lemmon Mine. In 1870, Joe Lemmon and Blackjack were prospecting near the North Saskatchewan River not far from Calgary, Alberta. They would find gold placer deposits along the shoreline, and quickly found the primary gold vein. After mining the gold, and filling what bags they could, they settled in for the night. When the sun rose the next morning, Blackjack was dead and Lemmon fled the camp in terror. When Lemmon arrived back to civilization, he had the gold ore assessed and discovered he had brought back around $27,000 worth of gold and ore. That is around $700,000 today. A second prospecting party was created, but time and time again, something would happen that prevented them from finding their gold -- thus, the Curse of the Lost Lemmon Mine began. Come listen to a story filled with gold-seeking adventurers, unexplained murders, ghosts, and a flood in 2005 that might have found clues to solving the whole thing.…
