Road Trip: Los Satanicos — The Murder of Mark Kilroy

Episode 412: In March 1989, 21-year-old University of Texas pre-med student Mark Kilroy travelled to South Padre Island with friends for spring break. One night, they crossed the international bridge from Brownsville, Texas, into Matamoros, Mexico, for drinks and a night out. In the early hours of March 13, as the group headed back toward the United States, Mark was briefly left standing alone near the roadside. When his friends turned back moments later, he had vanished. At first, they assumed they had simply become separated in the crowds, but Mark never returned. His disappearance triggered an urgent search on both sides of the border that would soon uncover something far more disturbing than anyone imagined, a discovery that exposed a hidden world of violence and horror behind one young man’s spring break trip.

The Long Hunt for the Unabomber I Revisited @ 30

It’s been 30 years since FBI agents finally captured the man who mailed more than 16 bombs to unsuspecting victims in the US, killing 3 and injuring 23 others. For two decades officials searched for the elusive terrorist known as the Unabomber. His victims appeared random, his motives unclear and the only sighting of him resulted in a now famous composite drawing of a man in a hoodie with aviator sunglasses. In this episode, originally broadcast in 2021, we explore the investigation and capture of Ted Kazinski. This is The Long Hunt for the Unabomber.

The 2025 Canadian UFO Survey (with Chris Rutkowski)

In 2025, more 1052 UFO sightings were reported across Canada, an average of one every eight hours. In this episode, we are joined by Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski to break down the findings of the 2025 Canadian UFO Survey, an annual report that collects and analyzes sightings from civilians, researchers, and government sources to better understand what people are seeing in Canada’s sky. The discussion unpacks the common characteristics such as colour and shape, where reports are coming from, when they are most commonly seen, why Nova Scotia stands out, notable cases, and how things like satellites, drones, and social media are changing what we think of as a UFO.

The Niagara Murder: The Tragic Death of Frederick C. Benwell

Episode 411: In February 1890, the body of 24-year-old Englishman Frederick Cornwallis Benwell was found in a shallow grave near Lundy’s Lane, just outside Niagara Falls, Ontario. Benwell had travelled to Canada after corresponding with John Reginald Birchall, aka Lord Frederick A. Somerset, a fellow Englishman who advertised opportunities for young men seeking work and advancement overseas. Within days of Benwell’s disappearance, suspicion fell on Birchall, who was arrested in Buffalo, New York, and returned to Canada to stand trial. What followed was one of the most closely watched murder cases in late 19th-century Ontario.

the Murder of Paul Schmidt (the Starbucks stabbing) and the piece of crap that filmed it

This week on The Canadian Gothic, we’re revisiting a case that continues to unfold in the headlines. Due to travel, we’re taking a short break from new releases, but rather than leave you without an episode, we’re bringing back our coverage of the murder of Paul Schmidt, a shocking and deeply disturbing act of violence that unfolded in downtown Vancouver on March 26, 2023. In broad daylight, outside a busy Starbucks, Paul was attacked and killed following a brief confrontation while standing with his young daughter. The incident, which was partially captured on video and widely shared online, left a lasting impact on the public and raised difficult questions about violence, bystander behavior, and the justice system. At the time of this original episode, many details were still emerging. Now, as the trial of the accused continues to work its way through the courts, this case is once again in the spotlight. This rerelease offers an opportunity to revisit what happened that day, and to better understand the events at the center of a case that is still unfolding.

The Legend of Agnus McVee: Murder at 108 Mile

Episode 410: In the final years of the Cariboo Gold Rush, between roughly 1875 and 1885, travellers moving along the Cariboo Wagon Road through British Columbia’s interior passed through a remote roadhouse known as the 108 Mile Hotel, about 108 miles from Lillooet on the route toward Barkerville. According to a long-told regional legend, the hotel was run by Agnus McVee, alongside her husband Jim McVee and her son-in-law Al Riley, who were accused of drugging, robbing, and murdering miners carrying gold through the region. The story claims that dozens of travellers disappeared after stopping at the inn, with some accounts later alleging that bodies were recovered from nearby lakes and that young women were held captive at the hotel.
