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. For three decades, his killers have walked free, slipping through a world before DNA could catch them. But now, in 2025, Toronto Police are armed with new tech—and they’re closing in.

This Sunday, May 11, 2025, Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast takes you back to that frigid night in 1993. We’ll unravel the heartbreak, chase the dead ends, and hunt for the truth. Were they local teens? Did someone see them board that bus? Could you hold the clue that cracks this case wide open?

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.
