  1. Shane Smith

    5 FÉVR.

    Shane Smith

    In the summer of 2020, 20-year-old Shane Eric James Smith vanished in Calgary. He was last seen on June 6, and within days police believed he had been shot and killed by a friend at a southeast Calgary residence. In the weeks that followed, the Calgary Police Service charged Ian Charles Abercrombie with homicide, and two others with offences related to the handling of Shane’s body, which has never been recovered. Abercrombie later pleaded guilty to criminal negligence causing death and indignity to a human body in connection with Shane’s death — a conviction that left many feeling the sentence didn’t match the loss. Shane’s family, friends, and volunteers have spent years searching the Bow River and surrounding areas, desperate for answers and for the chance to lay Shane to rest. In this episode, we speak with Shane’s sister, Cassandra, about who Shane was, the painful search for his remains, and the emotional toll of a case that still leaves far more questions than closure.

    A Conversation with Gillian Millam of BC CrimeStoppers

    In this previously TNTC+ episode, we sit down with Gillian Millam, former Metropolitan Police officer from the U.K. and current Executive Director of British Columbia Crime Stoppers. Gillian began working with Greater Victoria Crime Stoppers in 2015 and went on to coordinate one of the province’s most successful programs before stepping into her current provincial role. We discuss how the program operates, how it has changed over time, and how it fits into community safety across British Columbia, Canada. Gillian also shares her perspective on crime trends in Canada, the realities of tip management, and the key elements that make a tip truly valuable. A clear, candid look at Crime Stoppers from someone who has been shaping the program for many years.

  3. The Murder of Michael Carmen and the Birth of Crime Stoppers

    22 JANV.

    The Murder of Michael Carmen and the Birth of Crime Stoppers

    In July 1976, a young gas station attendant named Michael Carmen was shot and killed during a late-night robbery in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His death seemed destined to become another unsolved case in a city struggling with rising crime and few witnesses willing to speak. But one Canadian-born detective, Greg MacAleese, refused to let it fade away. What began as his search for answers would lead to the creation of Crime Stoppers, an idea that would change community policing around the world. In recognition of Crime Stoppers Month, this episode looks back at the murder that started it all and the innovation born from tragedy that continues to help solve cases to this day. If you’d like to support the work of your local Crime Stoppers program, consider donating, volunteering, or sharing their message. Community involvement still makes a difference.

    TNTC+ // A Conversation with the BOLO Program

    PLEASE READ: Some TNTC+ episodes may be released publicly in the future. TNTC+ subscribers will always get first access. In this episode, TNTC speaks with Maxime Langlois, Executive Director of the BOLO Program, about how one of Canada’s most visible public-safety initiatives actually works. BOLO is designed to help locate and arrest high-risk fugitives by combining targeted media exposure with public awareness. In this conversation, Maxime explains how cases are selected, why visibility is central to the program’s mandate, and how BOLO differs from traditional “most wanted” lists. He also addresses common misconceptions, discusses the role of the public in supporting safe arrests, and explains how BOLO fits into the broader Canadian public-safety landscape. The discussion also acknowledges the victims at the core of these crimes, including a longer conversation about the murder of Craig MacDonald and how BOLO exposure contributed to the arrest and conviction in that case. The conversation also touches on the program’s large cash rewards, in some cases life-changing amounts, including how they’re funded and why BOLO made the decision to offer them. This is a straightforward, behind-the-scenes look at a program that is leading the way in public safety. -- Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0 Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTC Join our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpod Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/ Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime

    Shabir Niazi

    In this previously TNTC+ exclusive episode, we dive into the homicide case of Shabir Niazi out of Ajax Ontario. Shabir Niazi, who was 22 years old at the time, was found shot to death in the garage of a home on Roosevelt Avenue. The case drew significant attention due to a series of legal proceedings, including debates over the admissibility of certain evidence and the handling of Crime Stoppers tips. These procedural complexities, involving informer privilege and the integrity of tips provided to Crime Stoppers, played a pivotal role in the case's development​. -- Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0 Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTC Join our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpod Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpod Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/truenorthtruecrime Hosted on Acast.

    In this TNTC+ conversation, Graeme speaks with Folklaur Chevrier — producer of The Christine Jessop Story, the three-part documentary series now streaming on Crave.

The discussion explores how the docu-series came together, the collaborative work behind it, and the responsibility involved in telling a case this significant within Canada’s justice landscape. Folklaur also shares how her advocacy for Canadian youth and her work in child protection continue to influence the projects she takes on. A thoughtful behind-the-scenes look at one of Canada’s most important true-crime stories. --
