Show Notes
When 25‑year‑old Joshua Saulteaux from Whitefish Lake First Nation, Alberta, scratched a ticket and won $1 million, it was supposed to be the start of a new life. Instead, just weeks later, he was gone, leaving behind his new RV, his phone, and a haunting scene of blood inside.
In this episode, we trace Joshua’s short road from celebration to disappearance, exploring the fear he felt in his final days, the unanswered questions in his case, and how a violent past may have followed him home. We also uncover what lottery winners in Canada are really risking the moment their names go public and why sudden wealth can sometimes bring deadly attention.
Joshua’s story is complex. He was involved in a horrific crime in 2021 that claimed two lives... a truth that can’t be ignored. Those victims, Deidra Aldridge and Daniel Grandbois, deserve to be remembered. But Joshua served the sentence handed down to him, and his disappearance remains a tragedy that no family should have to endure.
Listen as we unravel how fortune, fear, and unfinished business collided in the case of Joshua Saulteaux: the man who won the lottery… and then vanished.
