Murder Behind Vinyl: The Tragic Death of Lukas Strasser-Hird

Episode 417: In the early hours of November 23, 2013, 18-year-old Lukas Strasser-Hird was violently beaten behind the Vinyl nightclub in Calgary, in an alley off 10th Avenue Southwest. He was rushed to the hospital, but the injuries were too severe, and he died later that morning from multiple stab wounds and massive blood loss. Walk with us through the events that led from a night out at the club to one of Calgary’s most closely watched murder cases, and examine how the chaos in that alley would ripple through the city, the courtroom, and the lives left behind.

the Disappearance of Mekayla Bali | Part 2 | Developments, Updates, and Unanswered Questions

In April 2016, sixteen-year-old Mekayla Bali vanished from Yorkton, SK after a day marked by strange movements, unsettling interactions, and a timeline that remains one of the most detailed and puzzling in any Canadian missing persons case. Over the years, this story has continued to evolve and Mekayla’s disappearance has stayed in the public eye through surveillance video releases, reported sightings, and the relentless efforts of her family to find answers. Now, on the 10th anniversary of her disappearance, this two-part series presents a fully re-edited and updated version of prior Canadian Gothic episodes on the case, bringing together the known timeline, the key developments, and the questions that still remain unanswered. In part two we are joined by Madelayne Klein to discuss a series of significant developments in the case that had surfaced in the years after the interview with Paula Bali we featured in part one.

On March 5, 1982, after an all too brief but stellar career in film and television, actor and comedian John Belushi, 33, was found dead in his bungalow at the infamous Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California.

Shadows of Deception (Part 3): The Murder of Wayne Millard

Episode 319: In the first two parts of our Shadows of Deception series, we delved into the abysmal depths of depravity exhibited by Dellen Millard and Mark Smich through the heinous murders of Tim Bosma and Laura Babcock. With Millard and Smich already incarcerated for their previous atrocities, a new investigation was launched into the 2012 death of Dellen's father, Wayne Millard, a wealthy aviation businessman. Initially presumed to be a suicide, the circumstances surrounding his demise came under intense scrutiny after his son's sensational arrests for the Bosma and Babcock murders. After their investigation, authorities arrested Dellen Millard and charged him with the first-degree murder of his father. This shocking twist cast a sinister shadow over the already grim narrative, painting Dellen Millard as a far more depraved criminal than initially realized – one willing to extinguish even the life of his own flesh and blood. It appears that Dellen Millard is a cold-blooded individual who would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.
