February 18, 1993. North York, Toronto. Dusk falls over a sleepy stretch of Jane Street and Sheppard Avenue. At 11 Arleta Avenue, a tiny convenience store hums quietly, its owner, Andrew Ryu, winding down another long day. A 56-year-old South Korean immigrant, Ryu built this modest shop into his family’s lifeline—until two teenage boys stepped through the door, their faces shadowed, their intent deadly. In an instant, a robbery explodes into murder—a single gunshot rips through the silence, and the boys vanish onto a westbound bus, leaving a crime that’s haunted Toronto for over three decades.

Andrew Ryu was no ordinary man. A husband, a father of three, he crossed oceans in 1972 to chase a Canadian dream. For nearly 20 years, he poured his soul into his store, a steadfast figure in North York’s quiet corners. But that night, his dedication became his undoing. His family was shattered, his community stunned, and the question lingers: What turned a petty theft into a killing?

For 32 years, justice has slipped through the cracks. The suspects—two local teens, barely old enough to drive—melted into the pre-DNA shadows of 1993. Leads faded, the trail iced over, and Ryu’s murder joined Ontario’s coldest cases. Now, Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast reopens the file. With cutting-edge DNA tech and a fresh push from Toronto Police, whispers of hope emerge. Could a forgotten detail—a fleeting memory—finally unmask the killers?

This is more than a story—it’s a mission. Somewhere out there, someone knows something. Were you in North York that winter night? Did you see two boys board a bus on Sheppard Avenue? Your voice could break this case wide open. Join us as we unravel the heartbreak, the dead ends, and the faint pulse of possibility in this enduring mystery. For Andrew Ryu, for his family, and for justice, the clock is still ticking.

It’s just after 5 p.m. on February 18, 1993. A bitter winter chill grips North York, Toronto, where a tiny convenience store sits hidden at 11 Arleta Avenue. For Andrew Ryu—a father, a husband, a South Korean immigrant who built a life from nothing—it’s the end of another grueling day. But as the clock ticks toward closing, two teenage boys step through the door, their faces shadowed, their hands hiding a deadly secret.

In an instant, a robbery turns to murder. A single shot shatters the silence, and Andrew Ryu’s dream of a better life bleeds out on the floor. The killers? They flee onto a westbound bus, disappearing into the night—leaving behind a crime that’s defied justice for over 32 years.

He wasn’t just a shopkeeper. Andrew Ryu was a man who crossed oceans, worked seven days a week, and loved his family fiercely.

A silent Christmas night in Boulder, Colorado, 1996. The Ramsey mansion glows with festive cheer, snow falling softly outside. Inside, John, Patsy, Burke, and six-year-old JonBenet drift into dreams after a joyous holiday party. But in the darkness, a sinister presence lurks. By morning, a cryptic ransom note, a desperate 911 call, and a horrifying discovery in the basement will unravel a mystery that haunts the world nearly three decades later: Who killed JonBenet Ramsey?

In Part 2 of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, host Jay Nicoll dives deeper into one of true crime’s most baffling enigmas. The clues from Part 1—a Hi-Tec boot print, unknown male DNA, a broken basement window, and a bizarre ransom note—set the stage for a battle of theories: Was it a shadowy intruder who slipped through the night, or a chilling secret within the Ramsey family? The intruder theory points to DNA and physical evidence, championed by detective Lou Smit and John Ramsey, who suspects a link to a 1997 Boulder assault. Yet, the family involvement theory—fueled by a ransom note eerily tied to John’s bonus and the Ramseys’ evasive actions—casts a long shadow.

The suspects? A cast of haunting figures: John and Patsy Ramsey, scrutinized and exonerated yet never fully cleared; Michael Helgoth, whose Hi-Tec boots and cryptic boasts ended in a suspicious suicide; Bill McReynolds, a Santa Claus with a strange affection for JonBenet; Gary Oliva, a predator obsessed with her memory, his confessions clashing with DNA; Randy Simons, a photographer with erratic denials; John Brewer Eustace, linked by a scrapbook; and John Mark Karr, whose false confession stunned the globe. Over 140 suspects, 21,000 tips, and 1,400 pieces of evidence later, the killer remains a phantom.

But hope flickers. Advances in genetic genealogy could unlock the DNA’s secrets, and John Ramsey, now in his 80s, fights for answers. Will the truth finally emerge? Join Ontario Cold Cases as we chase the theories, confront the suspects, and unravel the questions that refuse to fade. This is the JonBenet Ramsey mystery—where every twist deepens the puzzle, and justice still waits in the shadows.

In the smoky backrooms of 1950s Toronto, where the racetracks hum with whispers and odds are chalked faster than you can blink, one name rules the bookmaking world: Manny “The Hat” Kaufmann. But when a longshot wins big and a rival bookie turns up dead—strangled with jockey silks and a losing ticket stuffed in his mouth—Manny finds himself framed for a crime he didn’t commit.

Enter Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely—two sharp-talking cops who know every back alley, every bent cop, and every trick in the book. As rumors swirl and crooked cops close in, the duo must navigate a tangled web of race-fixing, double-crosses, and a killer hiding in plain sight. With a jittery fall guy named Shnooky, a dame who burns ledgers and hearts, and a two-bit hustler with delusions of grandeur, it’s a race against time—and everyone’s betting dirty.

Will Mick and Mack crack the case before the city’s underworld goes up in smoke? Or will the fix be in… for good?

Place your bets. The Big Fix is on.

It was a night bathed in the glow of Christmas magic—December 25, 1996, in the picturesque town of Boulder, Colorado. The Ramsey family—John, Patsy, and their children, Burke and JonBenet—returned to their elegant Tudor mansion after a festive holiday party, the air alive with twinkling lights and the promise of a peaceful slumber. Snowflakes drifted silently onto the quiet streets as six-year-old JonBenet, a radiant star of the pageant world, was tucked into bed. But within those walls, a shadow was stirring. By morning, a frantic 911 call would shatter the silence, a cryptic ransom note would emerge, and the lifeless body of a little girl would be uncovered in the basement—transforming a holiday dream into a decades-long nightmare.

Nearly 30 years on, the murder of JonBenet Ramsey remains an enigma that grips the world—one of true crime’s most enduring unsolved mysteries. A bizarre ransom note demanding $118,000, scrawled on the family’s own paper; a broken basement window whispering of an intruder; a lone Hi-Tec boot print that doesn’t belong; and DNA from an unknown male that defies every answer. Was it a stranger who slipped through the night, or a secret locked within the Ramsey home?

In this electrifying episode of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, we plunge into the chilling depths of that fateful Christmas night. Step by step, we retrace the moments—from Patsy’s heart-stopping discovery of the note to John’s devastating find in the basement:

JonBenet, bound and strangled, a garrote crafted from a paintbrush tight around her neck. We sift through the clues: undigested pineapple that upends the timeline, duct tape hinting at deception, and a crime scene riddled with questions. Was it a botched kidnapping spiraling into chaos, a family tragedy cloaked in lies, or something far darker?

The suspects? In Part 2, we will discuss all the possibilities and theories. They’re as varied as the theories. John and Patsy Ramsey, scrutinized for every word and pause; Michael Helgoth, a shadowy figure with Hi-Tec boots and a cryptic end; Bill McReynolds, the Santa Claus with an eerie past; Gary Oliva, a predator obsessed with JonBenet’s memory; John Mark Karr, whose false confession stunned the globe. Over 1,400 pieces of evidence, 21,000 tips, and three decades later—the killer is still a phantom.

Yet hope flickers on the horizon. Cutting-edge DNA technology, like genetic genealogy, could finally pierce the veil, and John Ramsey, now in his 80s, battles tirelessly for justice. The Boulder Police keep the case alive, and with every passing year, the question grows louder: Will the truth ever surface?

Join us on Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast as we unravel this haunting puzzle—dissecting the evidence, challenging the theories, and chasing the answers that refuse to rest. Step into the mystery of JonBenet Ramsey’s murder, where the past demands to be heard, and some stories won’t fade until justice is done.
