  • A Mother’s Tragic End - The Unsolved Murder of Sophie Filion
    Sep 9 2025
    A Mother’s Tragic End - The Unsolved Murder of Sophie Filion

    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.

  • Unresolved: The Tragic Case of Melinda Sheppit
    Sep 8 2025
    Unresolved: The Tragic Case of Melinda Sheppit

    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.

  • The Vanishing of Justin Pollari: A Trail Gone Cold
    Sep 5 2025
    The Vanishing of Justin Pollari: A Trail Gone Cold

    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.

  • The Enduring Mystery of Richard "Peewee" Marlow
    Sep 3 2025
    The Enduring Mystery of Richard "Peewee" Marlow A Child Vanished. A Mystery Endures.

    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.

    The Mysterious Disappearance of Ingrid Bauer: A Cold Case That Haunts Ontario

    August 16, 1972. Kleinburg, Ontario. Fourteen-year-old Ingrid Bauer steps out of her family’s home, barefoot, to visit her boyfriend just miles away. She promises to return by 10:30 p.m.—but vanishes without a trace. No wallet, no purse, no clues. In a new episode of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, dive into one of Canada’s most baffling mysteries, where a massive manhunt, helicopters, and scuba divers uncovered nothing.

    Was Ingrid taken by a predator like Donald Everingham, a convicted rapist, or Ronald Glenn West, a former cop turned murderer known as the .22 Killer? In the semi-rural Kleinburg of the 1970s, hitchhiking was common—but deadly. With no evidence and fading hope, the Bauer family still seeks answers, haunted by the unknown.

    The Son Who Never Came Home: The Unsolved Disappearance of Pierre Mercon

    He made a phone call to his mother asking for a ride home. He was just a few feet away, but when she arrived, Pierre Mercon had vanished. The only thing left behind was a single piece of his Halloween costume—a camouflage poncho found under a table inside a Richmond Hill sports bar.

    It was November 1, 1996, and 21-year-old Pierre disappeared into the night, leaving behind a family shattered by a mystery that has haunted them for nearly three decades. His case went cold, and a prime suspect was released due to lack of evidence.

    Was Pierre a victim of a crime? Or did he simply disappear? The bar he left was a known hangout for local bikers, but no one has ever been able to say for certain what happened.

    Join the Ontario Cold Cases podcast as we revisit the perplexing disappearance of Pierre Mercon. We'll explore the few leads and the unyielding efforts of a family who refuses to give up.

    The Barrie Butcher: A Chilling Tale of Murder and Mystery

    In the shadowed streets of Barrie, Ontario, a sinister predator stalks the vulnerable, leaving a trail of horror that has earned the name “The Barrie Butcher.” When William “Blake” Robinson and David Cheesequay vanished from a notorious homeless encampment, what began as a missing persons case unraveled into a gruesome nightmare of dismemberment and death. At the heart of it all stands Robert “Tattoo Rob” Ladouceur, a man well-known to police, now charged with a chilling litany of crimes—including murder.

    As Barrie Police dive into a “red-ball investigation,” the discovery of human remains across rural Huntsville and Simcoe County confirms the worst. With 19 charges looming and a motive shrouded in shadow, the question lingers: what drove the Butcher to such brutality? In a world where addiction and desperation collide, this haunting case exposes the darkness lurking on society’s fringes.
