    The Toronto Village Murders (BONUS)

    Between 2010 and 2017, eight men went missing into Toronto, mysteriously vanishing without any proof of foul play. As the disappearances stacked up over the years, and police interviewed people for potential involvement, a huge clue came in proving that the cases were all linked. With the uncovering of a car with blood from multiple victims, and disturbing photos uncovered on a hard drive, police narrowed in on their unassuming and sadistic killer - who had been targeting vulnerable men for well over a decade. These are the stories of Skanda Navaratnam, Basir Faizi, Hamid Kayhan, Soroush Mahmudi, Selim Esen, Andrew Kinsman, Kirushna Kanagaratnam, and Dean Lisowick.
