From the mid-1980s to the late-1990s, five women walked Toronto’s streets and never came home.

Benita “Bonnie” Tarantino, 17.
Susan Siegel, 20.
Donna Oglive, 24.
Lori Pinkus, 21.
Lyle Ford, 35.

All were sex trade workers. All were moved from where they were last seen. All were strangled. Their lives were complicated, messy, and human. Their deaths were treated like background noise. Police chased tips, explored suspects, and developed DNA profiles… but decades later, their cases remain unsolved.

In this episode, we retrace their final nights, examine DNA, timelines, locations, and known predators from the era, and ask a chilling question: was there at least one serial killer targeting sex trade workers in Toronto?

These are their stories, so they shall not be forgotten.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

Over fifteen years, five sex trade workers were found strangled in and around downtown Toronto. Benita ‘Bonnie’ Tarantino, Susan Siegel, Donna Oglive, Lori Pinkus, and Lyle Ford. Each taken from where they were last seen. Each left in a different corner of the city. For decades, their families and friends have lived with silence. In this episode, we walk through their final hours, the crime scenes, and the police files. We look at known predators of the era, from convicted killers to men who slipped through the system, and ask: was there at least one serial killer targeting these women?

These are Toronto’s forgotten five. Their stories deserve more than a footnote.

This is Ontario Cold Cases – Canada’s True Crime Podcast.

On a cold March morning in 1978, Toronto’s North York was shattered by a brutal double murder. Harold and Florence Fagan, a beloved couple in their sixties, were gunned down in their home—Harold shot in the chest and head, Florence executed with a single bullet to the head. Their chauffeur discovered the grisly scene, the house ransacked but eerily untouched by forced entry. Less than $1,000 was taken, yet the precision of the killings whispered a darker truth: this was no random robbery.

Harold, a charismatic entrepreneur behind the CNE’s bustling concession stands, had enemies in the shadows of his carnival empire—perhaps even rivals in Montreal. The Fagans, pillars of Toronto’s Jewish community, lived a life of prominence, but their home had been targeted before. Did they open the door to a familiar face that fateful night? And why does this chilling case echo the savage Airst family murders just 1.5 km away, where another prominent Jewish family fell victim to a killer who left no trace?

Was it a business grudge? A staged burglary? Or a deeper, more sinister connection?

In the dead of a foggy September night in 1979, the Airst family—Ike, Celia, and their son Avrom—met a gruesome fate in their North York home. Bludgeoned to death with chilling precision, their blood-drenched bodies were discovered by their daughter, Simmie, in a scene that would scar Toronto’s history. No forced entry. No stolen valuables. Just a savage, personal rage that left $6,000 untouched and a family destroyed.

Who could have slipped into the Airsts’ private world to unleash such brutality? Was it tied to Ike’s controversial property empire, rumored to have crossed the Mafia? Or Celia’s fiery activism against Soviet oppression? The eerie parallels to the 1978 Fagan murders—another North York couple slain with excessive violence—hint at a deeper, darker connection. Yet, nearly three decades later, the killer remains a shadow, and the truth lies buried in a maze of unanswered questions.

Was it a betrayal from within? A calculated hit? Or a vengeful stranger who vanished into the fog?

In the gritty heart of Toronto’s underbelly, 21-year-old Lisa Anstey fought to survive. A First Nations mother of two, known as “Jemma” or “Terri,” she was a fierce spirit trapped in a world of addiction and danger, working the streets since age 11. On May 12, 1997, her life was brutally cut short. Found strangled in a dark laneway near the notorious Street City, her body bore the scars of trauma—and a missing shoe that hinted at a killer’s chilling motives. Was it a trophy? A careless mistake? Or a message?

Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast dives deep into Lisa’s unsolved murder, unraveling a web of secrets in a city plagued by violence against sex trade workers. With no witnesses in the chaotic homeless camp and a DNA profile—a white male with light eyes and blonde or red hair—leading nowhere, the case grows colder. Was it Peter Dale MacDonald, a known strangler linked to similar crimes? Or could it be the shadowy figure of a corrupt cop, K.L., rumored to prey on the very women he swore to protect?

Why was Lisa’s body moved to a bustling laneway? Who knew the streets well enough to vanish without a trace? As the podcast explores the haunting murders of nine other women in 1990s Toronto, one question burns: will justice ever find Lisa Anstey?

Tune in to Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast for a heart-pounding journey into this unsolved mystery. Subscribe now to never miss an episode, and join the discussion to help uncover the truth. Available now—links in the show notes. Don’t let Lisa’s story fade into the shadows.

On September 30th, 1979, three members of the Airst family were found brutally beaten to death inside their quiet North York home. Ike, Celia, and their son Avrom had been attacked with unimaginable violence. There was no forced entry. No robbery. No suspects. No answers.

Just 18 months earlier and only 1.5 km away, Harold and Florence Fagan were executed in their upscale Dewbourne Avenue home. They too were well-known. They too were targeted inside their sanctuary. And again—no forced entry, no strangers, and no clear motive.

Were these murders political? Personal? Or connected by something darker?

We examine the evidence, rumors, suspects, and the families left behind. Two brutal crimes. Two prominent families. And a community still haunted decades later.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
