    Living a Lie

    The girls are back and they are very rusty, but still they persevere to share with you a story full of lies and murder. The Zaman family were a perfectly normal family living perfectly normal lives in Markham, except one of them was lying to everyone else in the house about his comings and goings. When the truth was finally about to catch up with him, Menhaz Zaman saw murder as his only way out.   Intro and outro music: I Knew a Guy by Kevin MacLeod  Email us at truenorthcrimepod@gmail.com

    Speaking Ill of the Dead

    One of--if not the most--prolific art thieves in Canadian history is a guy you've never heard of. In fact, no one suspected John Mark Tillmann of having walked away with thousands of artifacts and antiques, but he did and he did it with style. Also he was an enormous jerk.   Tweet us @tnc_pod Facebook us @truenorthcrimepod Email us at truenorthcrimepod@gmail.com   New intro and outro music is "I Knew a Guy" by Kevin MacLeod.

    A Recipe for Flight

    True story: Warlock is one of Rachel's favourite movies. Also true is that, sadly, it served as inspiration for a brutal murder in which a little boy full of life was killed by his neighbour.  Read about it in MacLean's and Life Daily.

    What's in a name?

    Ian Thor Greene was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in the persona of an undergraduate student at Dalhousie University. It would take some time, but eventually the cops would come to know his real name and close the case on three violent attacks in Halifax. A great article about this terrible person can be read at Halifax Magazine.   Tweet us @tnc_pod Facebook us at @truenorthcrimepod Email us at truenorthcrimepod@gmail.com

    "He's nuts!"

    Twenty years ago, on April 6, 1999, Pierre Lebrun showed up to his former place of employment with a grudge and a gun. Join Shelley and Rachel as they take a look at how a toxic workplace environment can end in tragedy, and learn about how and why coroner's inquests happen. A good part of this research comes from Rampage: Canadian Mass Murder and Spree Killing by Lee Melor. Read about the shooting in the Ottawa Citizen and the Globe and Mail.    Tweet us @tnc_pod Facebook us @truenorthcrimepod Email us at truenorthcrimepod@gmail.com

    Blood Will Out

    Candice knew exactly who raped her, but nobody believed her. Three DNA tests later, her attacker was still living free and clear until a second victim came forward. How was John Schneeberger able to "prove" he didn't do it, when other DNA evidence suggested he was guilty as sin? Shelley and Rachel discuss just how awful and awfully clever he is, and also talk a lot about gin.  This case was featured on: Forensic Files - Bad Blood 72 Hours True Crime - The Good Doctor Autopsy - Dead Men Talking  Tweet us @tnc_pod Facebook us @truenorthcrimepod Email us at truenorthcrimepod@gmail.com
