In this episode, we delve into the tragic deaths of Lucas Fowler, Chynna Deese, and Leonard Dyck—the victims of a horrifying crime spree that shocked Canada in 2019. Lucas and Chynna, a couple from Australia and the United States, were on a dream road trip in British Columbia when their lives were cut short in a brutal and senseless act of violence. We’ll explore their love story, their hopes for the future, and the profound loss felt by their families and communities.

We also remember Leonard Dyck, a dedicated and beloved member of his community, whose life was tragically taken during the same violent spree.

We’ll also detail the timeline and extensive manhunt that followed, showcasing the massive effort by Canadian authorities to locate Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod. With hundreds of officers, specialized teams, and widespread media coverage, the search underscored the scale of the investigation and the commitment to seeking justice for Lucas, Chynna, and Leonard.

Thanks to the Laura Palmer podcast Island Crime: “Where is Lisa” the disappearance of Lisa Marie Young is one of the most talked-about missing persons cases in Canada.

On the Canada Day weekend in 2002, Lisa Marie Young, a 21-year-old First Nations woman, went out to a Nanaimo nightclub to celebrate a friend’s birthday.

While outside of the club Lisa and her friends met a man in a red Jaguar. He offered to take Lisa and her friends to a house party.

In the early morning hours of June 30th, the man with the Jaguar allegedly drove Lisa to get some food. She has not been seen since.

Despite the driver of the Jaguar being positively identified, the RCMP investigation has stalled over the years.

Until recently.

This episode includes interviews with MMIWG Advocate and Lisa Marie Young family friend Cyndy Hall as well as Lisa’s aunt and MMIWG Advocate Carol Frank.

We will walk through the investigation from multiple angles and present what is known about this file.

We also break down MP Paul Manley’s recent speech about Lisa Marie Young in the House of Commons, which brought awareness to her case at the highest levels of government in Canada.

Join us for this important episode as True North True Crime joins the movement to find justice for Lisa Marie Young.

Tanner Krupa’s murder remains unsolved. Can you help?

In the early morning hours of Sunday, August 20th, 2017 the body of a young man was found in a laneway in Surrey, British Columbia. The local RCMP, who are used to escalating gang violence in the area, were immediately perplexed as to the ID of the 19-year-old. He was not known to the police. He was not even from British Columbia.

1100kms away in Edmonton, Alberta a family and a mother were about to receive the most devastating news possible. Their son, brother, and friend had tragically lost his life in the darkness of that summer night.

But why? Why him? And more importantly who did this? 

If you have any information about this case, call IHIT or your local police department. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers.

On May 27, 2021, Canadians collectively sat back in horror at the discovery of the bodies of 215 Indigenous children. Their remains were found in an unmarked burial site on the grounds of a now-closed residential school in Kamloops British Columbia. 

As we live in the dark shadow of this news, a 16-year-old First Nations boy has been missing for 3 years.  

The young teen was released from Government care to his mother on May 2nd, 2018. The very next day he seemed to just vanish. He has never been found. Stories like the one we are about to tell have lead many people to ask if a comparison can be made with the history of Residential Schools and the present-day system of the Government apprehension of Indigenous children.  

This episode is not just a story about a missing child. It is a story about a system. It's also the story of a mom fighting to see her son again. This is the disappearance of Colten Fleury. Thank you for listening!
