Each season of Island Crime focuses on one crime story based on Vancouver Island. Season 1: ‘Where is Lisa?’ digs into the mystery of 21-year-old Lisa Marie Young’s disappearance. Season 2: ‘Gone Boys’ follows the mystery of men who have gone missing in recent years on Vancouver Island. Host Laura Palmer speaks with family members, community leaders, criminologists, coroners, psychologists and the RCMP to put together the stories of these missing men. Could a serial killer be preying on vulnerable men on Vancouver Island? ‘Island Crime: Gone Boys’ raises a discussion about the challenges facing men who are isolated and marginalized due to brain injury, trauma, mental illness, or disability. Could the ‘us versus them’ attitude of the public on the island be creating easy victims whose disappearances go unnoticed by many?

Customer Reviews
Misfits?
First let me say I love this podcast and think it is very well done. I just wish the title of episode 5 could be renamed as to me super insensitive. Many of these missing came across life situations that were totally out of their control. Honestly they probably all did. To someone who lost a son I would be offended to have my child ever described as a “misfit”.
Giving locations and details about tenters
WHY would you ever say several times that a woman alone is sleeping in the woods and give a general area? WHY would you share the decoy camp info? Don’t take away their protective measures PLEASE.
Is the narrator a robot?
It’s a great, well done podcast, but there is a huge difference between the interviews and the narration. It’s didactic and puts me straight to sleep
