  • Good show

    I like the emphasis on Canadian crimes, the narration, and focus of most episodes. Some episodes could be longer and have more detail and critical analysis. I’d also enjoy more contemporary crimes.

  • Very little crime coverage

    The story seemed to be more of a human interest approach to the information. A lot of discussion about feelings , personalities and goals of the victims. Interviews with families at almost nothing to the information and then off the host repeats what they said .

    Not much investigation into the actual crime, not much looking at the evidence , no police procedural, no forensic analysis.

    Perhaps that is the intent of the podcast, and there’s nothing wrong with that. I located this podcast under the... more

  • Eve doesn’t care about families of the murdered

    Eve posted about my missing friend and allowed people to comment misinformation and harmful comments about my missing friend. Myself and Lisa Marie Young’s sister were commenting facts. Eve decided to block me from the page. She allowed people to disrespect Lisa.

  • Low key and absorbing

    If you prefer an historical angle to true crime accounts and a personable, non-sensationalist delivery, you will probably appreciate this cast. Interesting original research and interviews are a welcome point of difference.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S6 E58 The Ring Twin Murders
Q: How did the community and family react to the trial and the verdict?
There was a mix of disbelief and fear; the family and neighbors struggled with the idea of someone they knew being connected to the murders, and the case continued to haunt the area for years.
S6 E58 The Ring Twin Murders
Q: What was your initial impression when you heard about the murders and the suspect's identity?
I was shocked and wanted to see the scene for myself; it was hard to believe someone so familiar to the community could be capable of such acts, which prompted a closer look at the evidence and the people involved.
Interview with Sgt Rob Jaberg, Cold Case Team, Vancouver Police Department
Q: How do you balance transparency with investigation integrity when engaging the public?
Public information is shared carefully to avoid compromising cases or witnesses, while still giving victims' families a sense of progress and voice, and allowing for outside information that could help, if it does not jeopardize the investigation.
Interview with Sgt Rob Jaberg, Cold Case Team, Vancouver Police Department
Q: What are the biggest challenges in solving cold cases in 2026?
The biggest challenge is the passage of time: memories fade, witnesses may pass away, and physical evidence can degrade or be lost, making it harder to build a solid, testable case.
Interview with Sgt Rob Jaberg, Cold Case Team, Vancouver Police Department
Q: What criteria do you use to choose these cases?
We look at remaining evidence, the condition of that evidence, and whether new technology or forensic testing can be applied in a way that wasn't previously available, while reconstructing the history of investigations to identify gaps and leads we can still pursue.
