Living a Lie
The girls are back and they are very rusty, but still they persevere to share with you a story full of lies and murder. The Zaman family were a perfectly normal family living perfectly normal lives in Markham, except one of them was lying to everyone else in the house about his comings and goings. When the truth was finally about to catch up with him, Menhaz Zaman saw murder as his only way out.
Intro and outro music: I Knew a Guy by Kevin MacLeod

Speaking Ill of the Dead
One of--if not the most--prolific art thieves in Canadian history is a guy you've never heard of. In fact, no one suspected John Mark Tillmann of having walked away with thousands of artifacts and antiques, but he did and he did it with style. Also he was an enormous jerk.

A Recipe for Flight
True story: Warlock is one of Rachel's favourite movies. Also true is that, sadly, it served as inspiration for a brutal murder in which a little boy full of life was killed by his neighbour.
Read about it in MacLean's and Life Daily. Learn more about moral panics at Psychology Today.

What's in a name?
Ian Thor Greene was a mystery wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in the persona of an undergraduate student at Dalhousie University. It would take some time, but eventually the cops would come to know his real name and close the case on three violent attacks in Halifax.
A great article about this terrible person can be read at Halifax Magazine.

"He's nuts!"
Twenty years ago, on April 6, 1999, Pierre Lebrun showed up to his former place of employment with a grudge and a gun. Join Shelley and Rachel as they take a look at how a toxic workplace environment can end in tragedy, and learn about how and why coroner's inquests happen.
A good part of this research comes from Rampage: Canadian Mass Murder and Spree Killing by Lee Melor.
Read about the shooting in the Ottawa Citizen and the Globe and Mail.

Customer Reviews
True crime queens
I found True North True Crime on Twitter... and I really like it! Listening to Canadian true crime is fascinating (as an American). Well researched, great storytelling, and funny. True crime & comedy is not for everyone but I appreciate the blend. These ladies take a tough subject with a funny spin which in my opinion is easier to digest. Keep ‘em coming! Also, I love the giggles 🤭 Sorry the other reviewers are sourpusses
Awful
These women giggle through the whole podcast while talking about the murder of other humans!!!!!
Awesome Sums It Up
The podcast has the right amount of crime content, followed by awesome commentary. I love conversations with the humour because it’s my sense of humour. Also, being from MI and loving so close to the border I am familiar with so many places in Canada, it’s like the geography they never taught U.S. in school. Keep the podcasts coming and don’t change anything!
