The Murder of Debbie Ann Hutchinson (Last Seen April 2017 | Sydney, Nova Scotia)

In April 2017, 59-year-old Debbie Ann Hutchinson vanished from Sydney, Nova Scotia. Days later, her white Kia Magentis was found burning in a wooded area not far from her home. In this episode, we are joined by Debbie’s estranged daughter, Colette Deveaux to discuss her mother’s unsolved homicide, and the complicated grief that followed. Collette shares what it is like to mourn a parent while also carrying painful memories from childhood, and how Debbie’s murder forced her into an impossible emotional position: seeking justice for her mother while still reckoning with trauma caused by that same relationship.

Unnatural Selection — The Alberta Eugenics Act

Episode 424: Between 1928 and 1972, the Alberta government authorized the forced sterilization of nearly 3,000 Albertans deemed "unfit" to reproduce. They were told they were having their appendix removed. Many were children. Most had no idea what was being done to them. The targets were the poor, the mentally ill, Indigenous people, immigrants — anyone who didn't fit the province's vision of a productive society. This wasn't a fringe movement. It was backed by doctors, politicians, newspapers, and some of the most celebrated figures in Canadian history.

The Murder of Francis Rattenbury: The Man Who Built B.C.

Episode 423: Francis Mawson Rattenbury designed the BC Parliament Buildings, the Empress Hotel, and the building that now houses the Vancouver Art Gallery, as well as many others. He was the most celebrated architect in the province for thirty years. In 1935, he was beaten to death in his armchair in a rented house in Bournemouth, England, by his wife Alma’s teenage lover, a chauffeur named George Percy Stoner. Both Alma Rattenbury and Stoner confessed. The trial at the Old Bailey gripped the English-speaking world. What happened after the trial was even more shocking than the murder.

The Hogg’s Hollow Tunnel Disaster

Episode 422: On St. Patrick's Day, 1960, five Italian immigrant construction workers — Pasquale Allegrezza, Giovanni Carriglio, Giovanni Fusillo, and brothers Alessandro and Guido Mantella — died beneath the Don River in Toronto's Hogg's Hollow neighbourhood. They were trapped in a tunnel less than two metres wide with no fire extinguishers, no hard hats, and no way out. The fire was preventable. The violations were known. A foreman had been fired for raising them. No one was ever charged. This is the story of five men whose names were nearly forgotten — and the laws that exist today because they died.

Where is Emily Bailey - Part 3 - Nicole Shares Disturbing New Details

Shortly after the release of the prior episode in this series the show was contacted by someone claiming to be a close friend of Emily's named Nicole Margerison. Nicole offered to fill in many of the blanks related to Emily's last known whereabouts and possibly shed some light on the circumstances related to her disappearance. Margerison was one of the last people to see Emily, was polygraphed by Hamilton police, and provided investigators with some disturbing information regarding the man she last saw Emily with. In this episode Nicole and I will discuss many new details related to the still unexplained disappearance of her friend Emily Bailey.

Where is Emily Bailey - Part 4 - Brandon Hunter

Shortly after the release of the previous episode in this series, I connected with someone very close to Emily Bailey’s story. He offered to share startling new details that may shed further light on what happened in the days leading up to her disappearance. Brandon Hunter is the father of one of Emily’s daughters. Listeners will remember his name from earlier episodes, as he was the person who reported Emily missing to Hamilton Police. In our conversation, Brandon explains that he had been in regular contact with Emily before she disappeared. He also shares information Emily told him in those final days, information that ultimately led him to show up at Jeff’s door shortly after the missing person report was filed. In this episode we are joined by Brandon Hunter for a revealing discussion about the disappearance of his close friend, and the mother of his child, Emily Bailey.

The Real Story: The Ghost & The Darkness - The Tsavo Lion Murders

In this chilling episode of Supernatural Circumstances: The Real Story, host Morgan Knudsen dives into one of the most terrifying tales from the heart of Africa—the man-eating lions of Tsavo. In 1898, two massive, maneless lions terrorized a British railway camp in what is now Kenya, slaughtering over 100 workers with chilling precision. But Morgan uncovers something far darker beneath the surface: local elders warned that the lions were not just predators—they were vessels for something ancient, awakened when sacred land was disturbed. Through haunting storytelling and supernatural investigation, Morgan explores the history, the horror, and the unsettling question: were these lions truly animals… or something else wearing their skin? #history #lions #mystery #murder #truecrime #coldcasefiles #theghostandthedarkness Learn more about your ad choices.
