This episode was originally a TNTC+ bonus episode.

In April 2006, a 20-year-old man drove from Nova Scotia to Maine with a chilling plan. Armed with names and addresses from the state’s sex offender registry, he hunted down two men, Joseph Gray and William Elliott, in a series of calculated attacks. What compelled this seemingly ordinary young man to cross borders and commit such violent crimes? In this episode, we explore the events leading up to the murders, the controversy surrounding public registries, and the unsettling questions left in the wake of his actions.

In this previously TNTC+ bonus episode, we're taking you inside a world few people truly understand — the work of cadaver search dogs and their handlers.

We’re joined by Jason McMillan, Vice President and K9 Handler with Canadian Cadaver Canines — a volunteer-based team that assists in searches for missing persons across Canada. Jason and his cadaver dog, Osiris, bring compassion, skill, and unwavering dedication to every case they work on, from wilderness recoveries to historic investigations.

This is part of our ongoing conversation series exploring the many roles involved in the search for the missing. In this thoughtful and eye-opening interview, we learn about the science, training, and emotional weight of this work — and the powerful bond between handler and dog.

On a cold December night in 1962, two men were led through the echoing halls of Toronto’s Don Jail. Beneath their feet, a trapdoor waited. Minutes later, Arthur Lucas and Ronald Turpin became the last people ever executed in Canadian history.

In this special Halloween episode, we step back into that chilling night — and the crimes that brought both men to the gallows.

Through archival records, press accounts, and historical context, we explore how Lucas and Turpin’s deaths marked not only the end of two lives, but the end of capital punishment in Canada.

This is the story of justice, mercy, and the night the noose fell for the last time.
