Mekayla Bali is Still Missing in Canada (last seen April 12, 2016 in Yorkton, Sask)

December 21, 2022/ Nighttime

On April 12th, 2016 something was happening in 16 year old Mekayla Bali's life, but that's about all we know for sure.

She did get dropped off at school, but she didn't attend classes. Instead she walked a twisted route around town, making a series of puzzling stops along the way, each one piling mystery upon mystery until mid afternoon when her trail simply ends.

Now, six years later her loved ones are still attempting to follow the clues left behind in hopes they lead to Mekayla.

Long time listeners of Nighttime will remember Mekayla's story as her mother Paula joined us shortly after the first anniversary of her disappearance but since then there have been considerable updates, developments, and listener requests for a follow up.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Canadian Crime video creator Madalayne Klein to revisit and provide updated details on disappearance of Mekayla Bali.

Tamra Keepness is Missing in Canada (last seen July 5, 2004 in Regina, Sask)

November 21, 2022/ Nighttime

At some point during the early morning of July 5, 2004, 5 year old Tamra Keepness seems to have simply vanished from her home.

The facts of that evening, as well as the behaviours of the adults responsible for Tamra's care, are more than a bit hazy. Alcoholism, drug abuse, sex work, and domestic violence all find their way into Tamra's last known night and all obscure the trail she left behind.

But if one thing is for certain, it's that Tamra’s family has far from given up on her.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Canadian crime video creator Madelayne Klein to discuss the disappearance of Tamra Keepness.

Steve Smith's Bad Trip - LSD, Torture, and the Oak Ridge Medical Asylum

September 27, 2022/ Nighttime

Would you believe me if I told you that a Canadian mental health hospital was conducting cruel experiments on patients, using LSD, rape, embarrassment and torture as recently as the 1980s?

If you don't believe me, buckle up for this one as we are about to receive a guided tour through Ontario's controversial Oak Ridge Medical Asylum and the many unimaginable things that took place within it.

One of the many lives altered by Oak Ridge's cruelty is Steve Smith, in fact, many of the secrets that have been revealed since the experiements ceased, are a result of his determination to expose the truth of what happened in those walls.

Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we will be joined by Oak Ridge Survivor Steve Smith.

the Unsolved Murder of Donna Jean Awcock

July 03, 2022/ Nighttime

London, Ontario - Oct.13, 1983

17-year-old Donna-Jean Awcock was babysitting a neighbour's child in the apartment building next door to where she lived… Something she did regularly.

When the child's mother returned home, in the early morning hours, she asked Donna run across the street to a convenience store before she left. This visit to the store which was only a stones throw away from her home is the last time Donna was seen alive.

A gruesome discovery at a riverbank in the days later would explain what happened to her... but not who was responsible.

The murder has remained unsolved for nearly 40 years, but not due to lack of trying. Donna's old sister Tammy has made it her life's mission to bring the person or persons responsible for Donna's death to justice.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Tammy Dennett, to discuss the still unsolved murder of her little sister Donna-Jean Awcock

Child Sex Trafficking, Survival, and Justice - a listener story

May 25, 2022/ Nighttime

Our guest (who will have their voice altered and will be referred to simply as Jane) has a story that begins in Halifax, Nova Scotia, back when she was just 14 years old.

A chance encounter, during an age and time of vulnerability, led her through experiences she is very fortunate to have survived.

Thankfully, she did and she is willing to share her story with us in hopes that it shines a light on the surprisingly active child sex trade.

Part 1

Part 2

In this episode of Nighttime, I'm again joined by Jane Doe to continue our discussion surrounding child sex trafficking, survival, and justice.

Dale Rancourt is a former children’s entertainer and registered sex offender who is known widely as the disgraced ‘Klutzy the Clown’,

In this episode his victim , who we will refer to as Jane Doe, will tell their story publicly for the first time. A different and much darker story than the one he admitted to in his guilty plea.

the Disturbing Story of Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt - 2 - a documentary that didn't age well

November 10, 2021/ Nighttime

Dale Rancourt is a former children’s entertainer and registered sex offender who is known widely as the disgraced ‘Klutzy the Clown’,

As you heard in my prior episode while researching Rancourt's life and crime I referenced a documentary film (Big Shoes) about him, produced several years before his arrest.

As you may have expected, the film really didn't age well and not because of any creative of technical decisions Michael or Adrienne made but because it leaves out the topic that dominates any discussion about Dale Klutzy the Clown Rancourt.. the sexual offences against a child that occurred in the years after the films release.

After watching the film I was interested to hear how the filmmakers have dealt with such a spoiled creation and that’s exactly what we will get into in this episode.

In this episode of Nighttime we will be joined by Michael Fraiman and Adrian Lee and our topic is the disturbing story of Dale ' Klutzy ' Rancourt... and their documentary that really didn't age well.

Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt

November 07, 2021/ Nighttime

For more than a decade, it would have been difficult to find a Cape Bretoner who hadn't heard of Dale Rancourt’s alter ego, Klutzy the Clown.

Rancourt entertained both children and adults, bouncing from birthday parties to nursing homes to public events. Although he was not an especially good performer, he still managed to carve out a niche for Klutzy in Cape Breton's entertainment economy, but it's all gone now.

Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt violated some of the most fundamental rules society imposes on those entrusted with the care of children.

In this multi-part series, I’ll be delving into the disturbing tale of the disgraced Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt.

the Death of Andrew Gnazdowsky (and the quest for answers and accountability)

October 21, 2021/ Nighttime

Then 26 year old civil engineer Andrew Gnazdowsky and a co-worker were on site completing a survey of a Nova Scotia Power dam near Sheet Harbour in October of 2020.

When a technology failure disrupted their work, Andrew made the fateful decision to enter the water and collect the failed equipment.

Moments later, Andrew would briefly yell for help before ultimately disappearing below the still water.

In the year since Andrew's tragic death, the Gnazdowsky's have been steadfast in their belief that the investigation into Andrew's death has been at best flawed and at worst completely compromised… and it's not just a hunch that tells them that.

Conflicts of interest, erroneous death records, the scrubbing online records, bureaucratic flip flopping, and opportunistic politicians...

This story has all of it.

Part 1

In this episode Nicole Gnazdowsky describes the search for answers and accountability related to the death of her brother Andrew Gnazdowsky.

the Strange World of INCELs (with Naama Kates)

October 17, 2021/ Nighttime

Incels are the online community, made up predominantly of men, who define their identity in the fact that they are involuntarily celibate. the Incel subculture, as regular listeners of Nighttime know, doesn't just wallow in misogynism, self pity, and entitlement in the internet’s dark corners..

Some self identifying Incels have seen their inability to get laid as justification to commit horrific acts of mass murder...

It's a twisted, dark, and very troubling community, but it's also fascinating and I think it's worth exploring.

To help guide us along the way, I invited a colleague from the world of podcasting to join me.

In this episode we are going to explore the strange and dark world of the self described INCELS (involuntary celibate). Our guest is journalist/podcast creator Naama Kates (host of the Incel Project).

the Death of Riley Fairholm - 2 - Riley and Me (with Camille Larouche)

August 26, 2021/ Nighttime

In the early morning hours of July 25, 2018 a 911 call was made in Brome Lake, Qc.

The caller, Riley Fairholm, reported a man in distress, carrying a handgun, and shouting to himself.

When the police arrived on the scene it took only 61 seconds before a responding officer shot the young man holding the gun dead. In a confusing turn, the caller was the man with the gun.

The events that led up to and followed that police interaction have received much more than 61 seconds of consideration.

In this episode of Nighttime, Riley’s past girlfriend Camille Larouche will share memories of her time with Riley Fairholm.

The victim's mother, Tracy Wing, has made it her mission to hold the police accountable for what she and her many supporters believe was the knee jerk, poorly planned, and unnecessary shooting death of her 17 year old son Riley Fairholm.

In this episode of Nighttime Tracy Wing will join us to share her son's story of mental illness, a 911 call, a police shooting, and her odyssey to hold the police accountable.

the Disapperance of Holly Clark

May 12, 2021/ Nighttime

At the time of her disappearance, 27 year old Holly Clark was pursuing her dream to be a professional musician in Hamilton, Ontario. However suddenly, and with little warning, she seemed to find herself on the brink of crisis.

On the morning of January 10th, 2020 Holly phoned her parents in Calgary to request help returning home. During the call Holly would share the frightening, yet vague, details of a traumatic experience that led her to spending the prior night running for her life from either a real or imagined threat.

It was obvious she needed help but shortly before her father arrived, she walked out of her apartment and into the cold air and pouring rain.

In part one, we will be joined by her father Dave Clark for a conversation surrounding the disappearance of his daughter Holly Clark.

In part two, we will be joined by Elle, the volunteer who has both a central role and a mission as a member of the Holly Clark search team.

In this episode of Nighttime we will be joined by journalist Tyler Hooper for a discussion centering on the striking similarities between Holly Clark’s story and that of Emma Fillipoff’s

In this episode of Nighttime we will again be joined by her father Dave and employer Elle to discuss the heartbreaking update to this case.

In this episode of Nighttime we will again be joined by her past employer, and leader of the search team, Elle to discuss what we’ve learned in the months since Holly’s remains were found.
