Episode 126 - On the morning of June 18, 1906, on the trail on the west side of the Two-Mile House, a drinking establishment outside Hazelton, B.C., the body of local tough guy, Alex McIntosh, was found. He had been ambushed and shot through the back. A short time later on the trail to the east of the Two-Mile House, the body of a labourer, Max Leclair, was discovered. He'd died in exactly the same manner. As McIntosh and an indigenous business man named Simon Peter Gunanoot had had a brutal fight only hours prior, suspicion fell on Gunanoot. When the posse went to arrest him he had already taken off into the wilderness and would lead police on the most expensive manhunt in B.C. history. Gunanoot managed to evade capture for over a decade and was not brought in until he was ready to turn himself in.Sources:[Simon Gunanoot - Chasing Shadows by Monty Bassett][Hazelton, British Columbia, Canada][Kispiox Band Site][Gitxsan Nation Site][Emily Carr paintings near Kispiox - Contact Sheet][Simon Gunanoot - Wikipedia][Newspapers.com search - Simon Peter Gunanoot in Canada][Echoes of British Columbia by Robert Budd - goodreads.com][My Country by Pierre Berton - goodreads.com][100 years since the surrender of Simon Gunanoot – BC Local News][The man who stayed invisible for thirteen years | Maclean’s | JULY 5, 1958][HistoricPlaces.ca - Simon Gun-an-noot’s Grave] Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 123 - Born during the Great Depression, Ken Leishman was a stylish, good looking guy with a Clark Gable moustache. A married father of 7, he was adventurous, smart, charismatic, creative and enterprising. He used his skill as a small aircraft pilot to earn cash first as a fly in mechanic on prairie farms, then as a king cookery salesman. Ken was also deeply in debt, his sales business was failing and he craved an even more lavish lifestyle. To get what he wanted Ken wasn't above stealing it, but often got caught going back for more. After flying all the way to Toronto to rob banks on two separate occasions Ken was dubbed the Flying Bandit after getting caught during his second failed bank robbery.After Ken's release, he had an even more elaborate heist in mind - making off with a few hundred pounds of gold bullion in what would be the greatest gold theft in Canadian history.Sources:[Bandit - A portrait of Ken Leishman by Wayne Tefs] [Lost: Unsolved Mysteries of Canadian Aviation by Shirlee Smith Matheson] [In the Mind of a Mountie - Google Play][This Was Manitoba: Kenneth Leishman - The Flying Bandit (UPDATED)][Ottawa Citizen - Ken Leishman - Google News Archive Search][Newspapers.com search - Ken Leishman + Canada][Ken Leishman: The Flying Bandit - video dailymotion][Ken Leishman: The Flying Bandit - YouTube][Court Briefing for 1966 trial of Ken Leishman et al, Winnipeg Gold Heist][The Flying Bandit - Winnipeg Free Press][Canada history: Mar.1, 1966: the Great Winnipeg Gold Heist – RCI | English][The Flying Bandit - Winnipeg Free Press][The ‘flying bank robber’ died hard | Maclean’s | DECEMBER 29, 1980] Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/darkpoutine Learn more about your ad choices.

Tina Michelle Fontaine was an Indigenous girl who had a tough go right from the beginning. As she had run away before when 15-year-old Tina disappeared on August 9, 2014 the authorities did not treat it with much urgency at all. Tina’s family was worried sick and wanted more activity. It was not until it was too late that the investigation began in earnest. Tina’s body was found wrapped in a duvet and floating in Winnipeg's Red River more than a week later. Her death and the subsequent acquittal of the only suspect in Tina’s slaying are cited by some as catalysts for the national inquiry that was called to look into the massive amount of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls in Canada.Sources and more information:R. v.

In a tragedy that shook Canada and the rest of the hockey playing world, just before 5:00pm on April 6, 2018, the team bus of the Humboldt Broncos Junior Hockey team smashed into a semi that had just blown through a stop at the intersection of Saskatchewan highways 35 and 335. Of the the 29 people on the bus that day, only 13 survived. The truck driver walked away unharmed, and was later charged with and convicted of 16 counts of dangerous driving causing death and 13 more counts of dangerous driving causing injury. One player, 21-year-old defenseman Logan Boulet, had signed his donor card only 5 weeks before the crash and his death. His thoughtful gift saved the lives of six organ recipients. Logan’s selfless actions led droves of other Canadians to sign their donor cards, creating what has been called the #LoganBouletEffect. This remains the largest number of donors pledging their organs from a single event; 100,000 in the first three weeks. To keep the effect going his family helped to create Green Shirt Day in 2019, observed on April 7, the anniversary of Logan’s passing.

Episode 115 - On the morning of May 24, 1987, 23-year-old Kenneth Parks walked into a police department covered in blood that was not just his own. Kenneth was disoriented and bleeding profusely from wounds to both his hands which were badly cut. Kenneth said “Oh my God, I just killed someone”; “I've just killed two people”. Kenneth was referring to his in-laws Barbara and Denis Woods of Scarborough. Police found Barbara deceased at the scene and Denis was severely injured, but survived. There was no question Kenneth had done it, but was he responsible? In a precedent setting case his defence team would claim that as Kenneth was sleepwalking when he committed the crime, he should not be held accountable.Come see us at CrimeCon in Orlando from May 1-3, 2020.

Episode 096 - Just before midnight of Valentine's Day 1950, a Convair B36 bomber on maneuvers was lost somewhere over British Columbia. Twelve of the 17 crew survived. Also aboard was a Mark IV nuclear weapon, aka a Fat Man, just like the one dropped on Nagasaki Japan. Although, the bomb itself was jettisoned, it is unclear what became of the lead box containing the plutonium core to make the weapon active. This core, which would still be deadly today, may still lay on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean or in the wilds of BC, near where the plane was eventually found, if it exists at all.

Episode 094 - Part 2 of 2: After the murder of Lynn Duggan in her North Vancouver apartment, to escape the heat, prime suspect, an ex-VPD officer, Brock Graham ran away to Campbell River, B.C. He moved in with mother of four Patti Ducharme, in late 1995. All seemed well at first but soon the cracks in Brock's personality began to show. In March of 1996, Brock brutally murdered Patti Ducharme after an argument. He ran back to the Lower Mainland where he was apprehended, charged and convicted for Patti's killing. Brock continued to refuse to acknowledging that he'd killed Lynn Duggan even while in jail for Patti's murder with nothing to lose. In 2004, Brad Duggan, Lynn and Cheryl's brother, had the first of two restorative justice meetings with Brock Graham. This is where the case to solve Lynn's murder finally takes a turn.

This time in Campbell River, BC, where a mother of four named Patti Ducharme, who happened to be Brock's live in girlfriend was found brutally murdered in her home in much the same way authorities believed Lynn Duggan had been.

Episode 092 - On the morning of September 9, 1949, a DC-3 Canadian Pacific passenger plane, CP Flight 108, on a routine small hop flight up the St. Lawrence River crashed into the remote forest of Sault-au-Cochon, Quebec. All 23 aboard, 19 passengers and 4 crew, were killed instantly. Thanks to eyewitness reports of an explosion and first responders reporting the odour of dynamite, it was quickly determined that the crash was the result of sabotage. A Quebec City jeweller, J. Albert Guay quickly became the main suspect, his wife, Rita Morel, had been on the plane and determined to be the sole target. She'd recently discovered his affair with the teenage beauty Marie-Ange Robitaille. Guay also took a $10,000 travellers insurance policy out on his wife the day he bought her plane ticket to the ill fated flight. The other 22 killed were merely collateral damage so one man could get what he wanted. Guay was quickly picked up with his two unlikely accomplices, a wheelchair bound watchmaker and his 44 year old sister, who'd been smitten with Guay. They were charged with multiple counts of murder. As the three were tried a story of betrayal, infidelity and greed emerged shocking the nation. All three were hanged for their participation in what was, up to that point, the third worst air disaster in Canadian history.Sources:Crash of a Douglas C-47-DL near Saint Joachim: 23 killedCBC: To murder his wife, he killed 22 more: The Sault-au-Cochon plane crash of 1949Roger Lemelin in MacLeans Magazine - My Friend Guay 1951Douglas DC-3C (CF-CUA c/n 4518) Canadian Pacific AirlinesVICE She Was the Last Woman Executed In Canada.

Episode 090 - On evening in late May of 1971 police responded to reports of a young black male, Sandy Seale, having been stabbed in Sydney, Nova Scotia's Wentworth Park. A 17-year-old indigenous man, named Donald Marshall Jr., son of the Mi'kmaq Grand Chief who'd been at the scene, and injured himself, was later charged with the crime. After spending almost 12 years in prison Marshall was exonerated by a fresh RCMP investigation after new evidence was presented to Marshall by a friend. Donald Marshall Jr. was freed and the real killer, Roy Ebsary, was eventually convicted, and one of the largest inquiries into a wrongful conviction in Canadian history was launched.Photo: provided by Marshall Family to the Canadian EncyclopediaSources:Regina v.

The man was screaming that his wife was not breathing. Upon arriving they found the owner of the home, 33-year-old Donna Jones, deceased on a makeshift mattress on the basement floor. Donna's injuries and her time of death did not match the story that her husband Mark Peter Hutt was telling.

Episode 081 - in the late 1920 and early 1930's a group called the Aquarian Foundation, led by a self-professed spiritual guru who called himself Brother XII set up just south of Nanaimo B.C. Brother XII drew wealthy followers to his cult with his promises of salvation through a coming apocalypse. As we've seen many times since the lust for power, sex and money corrupted the group, who, after scandals and cruel treatment turned on Brother XII. He and a female follower, he claimed to be his wife, absconded with some of the treasure that the group had amassed. However, many believe there are still millions of dollars worth of Brother XII's gold hidden somewhere in the area.

Episode 080 - The tenth Prime Minister of Canada, William Lyon MacKenzie King, was instrumental in Canada's growth from a mere British colony to an independent nation within the Commonwealth. He saw the country through World War 2 and helped to create some of the social policies that continue to make Canada one of the greatest countries in the world to live. MacKenzie King had his dark side too as is evidenced in his extensive diaries. His government oversaw the internment of 22,000+ who were either Canadians with Japanese heritage or Japanese nationals. His thoughts and decisions based on racial ideals will be shocking to some. King's beliefs in the after life and spiritualist practices are probably the most bizarre. Driven by loneliness, Canada's longest serving Prime Minister believed he was able to communicate with the spirits of dead relatives, in particular his mother. He also claimed to have interacted with the spirits of other dead politicians, Leonardo da Vinci and even his own deceased dog. Photo Credit / Mention de source :Paul Horsdal.
