Canadian True Crime – Détails, épisodes et analyse

[ Part 4 of 4 ] The Truth

Hidden documents and files are released through a Freedom of Information request, strongly suggesting that what actually happened on August 31, 2009 was different to the narrative presented by the press — and in court.

In this new four-part series, edited and re-mastered, you’ll hear a story of elites vs peasants, cars vs bicycles, and wealth and privilege vs poverty and crime. It’s a cautionary tale of how justice works differently in this country for some people.

Listen ad-free and early: The entire series is available ad-free on our premium feeds - Amazon Music (included with Prime), Apple Podcasts, Patreon and Supercast.

INVITATION: 15th Annual Memorial Gathering - Toronto

Please join us Saturday, August 31 at 3 p.m. at the spot where Darcy died at 151 Bloor Street West. There’s a white Ghost Bike opposite Tiffany & Co and close to Bloor St and Avenue Road.

Special thanks to Allan Sheppard, Joe Hendry and Victoria (the eyewitness). Thanks also to writer Mary Fairhurst Breen for editing and creative direction on this reboot series.

[ Part 3 of 4 ] How the Justice System Failed

The controversial 2010 hearing where the prosecutor announced his decision to withdraw charges. While Darcy’s father expected that result, something seemed significantly wrong with how the prosecutor chose to explain how the decision was made. 

In this new four-part series, edited and re-mastered, you’ll hear a story of elites vs peasants, cars vs bicycles, and wealth and privilege vs poverty and crime. It’s a cautionary tale of how justice works differently in this country for some people.

The case of a beloved 16-year-old girl who didn't return home one night—and the many questionable decisions made by authorities that could have inadvertently saved her life.

The intention of this episode is to highlight how cases involving missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls are often treated differently at every stage of the criminal justice process, as per Reclaiming Power and Place, the final report of the National Inquiry into #MMIWG.

Additional content warning: this episode is about the murder and possible sexual assault of an underage girl.

BRITISH COLUMBIA | In May of 2011, 20 year old Maddy Scott and a friend attended a party at Hogsback Lake in British Columbia. They were supposed to camp for the night, but the friend decided to leave, and Maddy was eventually left by herself. This was the last time anyone saw her alive.

UPDATE - MAY 2023:

The RCMP has confirmed the remains of Madison Scott were found on a rural property not far from Hogback Lake, where she had been camping with friends. No cause of death has been released, but police say foul play has not been ruled out, and the investigation is ongoing. Our thoughts are with the Scott family at this time. We hope for their sake there will be more answers coming soon. More information from Prince George Citizen.
