the Life, Death, and Legacy of Amanda Todd (with Carol Todd)

Amanda Todd was still a child when she began to share her love of singing with viewers around the world on Youtube. Perhaps she was hopeful that she would be discovered like Justin Bieber, another Canadian youtuber, recently had.

Like Justin, Amanda too found a sort of fame as a result of sharing her talents. Tragically, Amanda is known around the world not for her voice or her charm but as a cautionary tale about the evils that lurk all around us.

As we know now, one of the people who was moved by Amanda's performances managed to sneak into her personal life, and infiltrate her inner circle. When Amanda shared an intimate photo, the anonymous predator would begin an odyssey of sextortion, harassment, and cyber stalking that would end in Amanda's death.

Since taking her own life, over 50 million people have heard Amanda's story, largely as a result of a viral video she made shortly before her death. In the video, shot on a webcam in black and white, Amanda shares the her story by flipping through a series of index cards as she visibly sobs.

Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we are going to hear Amanda's story by someone who has stood by Amanda through it, and still to this day carries on her search for justice, and continues her legacy.

Our guest is Amanda Todd's mother, and well known internet safety and mental health advocate, Carol Todd.

the Disappearance of Lisa Marie Young (with Laura Palmer)

Lisa Marie Young was a 21-year-old indigenous Canadian who disappeared from Nanaimo, British Columbia on June 30, 2002.

Lisa had spent her last known night at a local nightclub and several house parties, before accepting a ride to a fast food restaurant from a man she had just met. Her final communication was a series of distressing messages she sent to a friend suggesting she was being held against her will.

Although Young has never been found, her disappearance is being investigated as a homicide.

The Toronto Van Attack - 3 - Alek Minassian is Guilty

Although Canada is no stranger to murder, madness and mayhem, we have been very fortunate to have largely avoided the type of mass murders and shootings that have become common fixtures in other countries with similar cultures to our own.

On April 23, 2018, Younge Street in Downtown Toronto was the setting of an event that many Canadians had taken comfort in thinking could never happen here.

25 year old Alek Minassian hit the gas and jerked the wheel of the rented cube van he was driving forcing the vehicle onto a busy sidewalk. For several city blocks Minassian used the vehicle to target pedestrians, killing 10 and injuring 16.

In this episode of Nighttime, I am again joined by my best friend Scott to continue our discussion of the Toronto Van Attack. For the third part in this series, our focus is on the judge's decision in the case against Minassian.

the Many Catches of the Toronto Predator Poachers

Toronto, Ontario is a big city... home to over two million... and a bunch of them are online approaching children with criminal intent.

Fortunately, their dark fantasies are a little further out of reach thanks to a vigilante group called the Toronto Predator Poachers.

Using fake online accounts and elaborate decoy work, this group helps pull Toronto's child sex predators out of the shadows and into the light.

The predator, expecting to meet a child, instead comes face to face with an over 6 foot tall, 200+ lb. man, holding a camera. He's not there to arrest them or harm them physically. What he does do however is make them call their wives or parents to admit what they are up to, and if that wasn't bad enough he also posts videos of the whole thing online and reports them to police.

So yeah, it gets quite intense.

In this episode of Nighttime we are joined by Matt (the catcher) and Soph (the decoy) and our topic is the many catches of the Toronto Predator Poachers.

Allan Legere's Christmas Blessings

Snow was on the ground, a chill was in the air, and Christmas was all around.

I put on my boots and hat, zipped up my coat, and headed into the cold to check my mailbox. When I opened it, I found some flyers, a gift I had ordered for my mom, and a handful of Christmas cards friends and family who still hold on to the traditional way of staying connected.

My grandma scribbled her name on one, my friend Craig sent me his regards along with an updated family photo, but there was one I couldn’t immediately identify that looked a little thicker than the rest.

The name on the front of the envelope wasn't that legible, so I opened it still not knowing who exactly it was from.

inside, was a very typical Christmas card... decorated with a little church and a stylized font wishing Christmas Blessings.

overall very typical… until I opened it.

Inside, I saw a card completely covered with barely legible writing, and a serpate multipage letter covered with the same scribbled text. Just as I began contemplating who sent such a bizarre card I noticed the only piece of easily legible writing.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.

my Christmas blessings, Allan Legere

As the colour drains from my face, I realize I'm holding a christmas card sent to me by one of the world's most horrific serial killers, the Monster of the Miramich, and now I’m going to share it with you.

In this episode of Nighttime, using his own words taken from a Christmas card he sent me.

We are going to hear from Allan Legere.

the Life, Death, and Legacy of Rehtaeh Parson

This story is hard to listen to, but equally so, it's important.

We are going to be joined by someone who's personal tragedy has positioned them to become an internationally known activist and advocate against sexualized violence and cyber bullying.

Her name is Leah Parsons and what she and her family have been through over the last 7 years... simply put... is horrific.

The story starts with the rape of Leah's then 15 year old daughter by a group of young men and continues with a 17 month quest for justice, and odyssey to stop photos of the rape from circulating around Rehteah's school.

Obviously, what will be discussing isn't for the faint of heart, but as horrible as it is, you will hear some positives.

The crimes against Leah's daughter highlighted significant problems with many of the institutions parents rely to keep their children safe and eventually, this story would the catalyst for change. To prevent something like this from happening again new cyber bullying laws were introduced and sweeping changes were implemented in schools, police departments, and within our mental health services.

It's just a shame that Leah's daughter Rehteah had to pay for those changes with her life.

In this episode of Nighttime, we are joined by Leah Parsons and our topic is the life, the death, and the legacy of Rehteah Parsons.

the Story of Glen Race

For a period of weeks, in May of 2007, it appeared a serial killer may have been targeting Halifax Nova Scotia’s gay community. When a suspect was identified and arrested at the Mexican - USA border, it turned out to be something all together different. To put it plainly, Glen Race thought he was destroying vampires. 

To help me talk through the story, and to join in the discussion surrounding the many elements to this case, I've invited my good friend and fellow podcaster Kristi Lee (Canadian True Crime) to join me.

In this episode of Nighttime, we are going to be discussing the story of Glen Race.

the Murder of Amber Tuccaro

20 year old Amber Tuccaro, was last seen alive on August 18,2010. She had left her infant son in the care of her friend and planned to hitchhike into the nearby city of Edmonton for the night.

The only clue in Amber’s disappearance is the recording of a telephone call she received while riding in a vehicle with an unknown male just moments after she was last seen. In the chilling recording, Amber seems to slowly realize the man is not taking her towards Edmonton but instead onto a series dirt roads… just like the ones her remains would be found on two years later.

I say “moonlit” as when not conspiring to overthrow the government and create a white ethnostate, He was known as Master Corporal Patrick Mathews… a combat engineer in the Canadian Military.

At least, he was before Ryan Thorpe's investigative journalism outed him.

The Toronto Van Attack

This episode was originally released April 2018

Although Canada is no stranger to murder, madness and mayhem, we have been very fortunate to have largely avoided the type of mass murders and shootings that have become common fixtures in other countries with similar values and cultures to our own.

Sadly, just days prior to recording this episode Younge Street in Downtown Toronto was the setting of an event that many Canadians take comfort in thinking could never happen here.

In this episode, I'll be joined by my best friend Scott to discuss the April 2018 Toronto Van Attack. Our discussion includes the event, the arrest, what is known of the man driving the van, his rumored ideological motivation, and sadly... we will discuss the innocent people killed during this horrible event.
