    TNTC+ // The Maine Registry Murders

    In April 2006, a 20-year-old man drove from Nova Scotia to Maine with a chilling plan. Armed with names and addresses from the state’s sex offender registry, he hunted down two men, Joseph Gray and William Elliott, in a series of calculated attacks. What compelled this seemingly ordinary young man to cross borders and commit such violent crimes? In this episode, we explore the events leading up to the murders, the controversy surrounding public registries, and the unsettling questions left in the wake of his actions. --

  2. MISSING: Amber Manthorne

    DEC 12

    MISSING: Amber Manthorne

    Amber Manthorne was last seen in her Vancouver Island community of Port Alberni on July 7, 2022, leaving her loved ones and the community searching for answers. Her white 2021 Jeep Compass was found abandoned two days later, near a logging road outside Nanaimo. In a chilling twist, security footage shows her ex-boyfriend, Justin Hall, driving her vehicle and struggling with a suitcase and a large plastic tote in the early hours of July 8. The large black plastic tote seen in the footage has never been recovered. The RCMP now believe that Amber was likely the victim of foul play, with Hall as a key person of interest. Yet Hall's own death in Merritt last year has left police with more questions than answers, and Amber’s family still waits for closure. In this episode, we speak with Laura Palmer, host of the podcast Island Crime, who covered Amber’s case in-depth. Together, we examine the events surrounding Amber’s disappearance, the disturbing details caught on camera, and the lingering questions that haunt those still hoping for answers.

    Aldane Mesquita - Part 2

    In this episode, we delve into the life and tragic death of Aldane “Dale” Mesquita, a devoted father and beloved son whose 2018 murder shocked the Edmonton community. Dale’s body was discovered in a van in Strathcona County, sparking an investigation that revealed the harrowing details of his final days which included kidnapping, criminal confinement, and torture. We were honoured to sit down with Dale’s ex-wife, Tamara, who shares an intimate portrait of Dale’s life, his dreams, and his struggles. Through her heartfelt reflections, we learn about the man behind the headlines and the devastating impact his death has had on those who loved him. The investigation led to multiple arrests and charges. Several men, including Omar Abdirizak Omar, Clement Fofie, Roger Rurangwa, and Mohammed Jawara, were charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault. Tyson Richard Clark and Jean Leon Musoni later faced similar charges. Authorities also seek Christian Nyabirungu, describing him as "armed and dangerous" and issuing a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest. Christian Nyabirungu is still WANTED. --
