Justice for Sia Van Wyck - a multi part series

On July 19th of 2017, seven year old Sia Van Wyck was killed by a man driving a combine tractor as she played in a field in rural Nova Scotia.

An RCMP investigation deemed the death a tragic accident that was not criminal in nature however her family, her supporters, and their respected private investigator believe the investigation was fundamentally flawed from the start and had it been handled properly things may have likely turned out very differently.

2006, Near Regina Beach, Saskatchewan

On the third night of a three day long graduation party, a group of people unconnected to the event crashed the party. At some point after their arrival tensions flared between members of the groups.

Despite there being nearly 200 in attendance, and 17 years of finger pointing, investigators have yet been able to prove who killed 19 year old Misha Pavelick.

the Disappearance and Death of Maddy Scott

This episode is going to take us to Hogsback Lake, a sort of natural recreation area southeast of Vanderhoof, British Columbia.

Although the area is known by locals as an ideal spot for camping and fishing, it has also become known as the setting for one of Canada's most often discussed missing person cases.

On May 28, 2011, then 20 year old Maddy Scott attended an annual party at Hogsback Lake. Maddy and her friend Jordi intended to camp out at the lake together but unexpected attendees and alcohol would lead to Maddy being left behind to camp alone.

The next morning the only thing found at the lake was Maddy's truck and an empty tent.

Over the past 12 years the search for Maddy would receive international attention and a ravenous online following despite very little in the way of clues or developments but that all changed just last week and dramatically so.

In this episode I’m joined by Madelayne Kline to discuss the disappearance and death of Maddy Scott.

This episode takes us to Prince George, British Columbia.

On the evening of August 1, 1989 Ronnie and Doreen Jack went to their neighbourhood pub looking for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Instead, they found a mystery man with an enticing job offer that would forever change their lives and the lives of everyone who loved them.
