    Cold Case Canada with Eve Lazarus

    I’m a reporter and author based in Vancouver, British Columbia. For the past several years I’ve been investigating cold cases – murders and missing persons that have been mostly forgotten except by family and friends.I’m convinced that many of these cases can still be solved.

    Episode 12: No Justice for Molly Justice

    In January 1943, Victoria, British Columbia was experiencing the coldest weather in more than 30 years. Fifteen-year-old Molly Justice took the bus from her job on Government Street and got off near her Saanich home. Her body was found a few hours later lying face down in the snow. She had been stabbed more than 20 times and hit on the head with a rock. What followed was one of the most seriously botched police investigations of the century. This podcast is based on original research from a chapter in my book Blood, Sweat, and Fear: The Story of Inspector Vance.

    Episode 11: Manhunt

    On August 25, 1947 Walter Pavlukoff stepped out of his hotel room with a luger automatic pistol in his pocket. He joined over 100,000 people who were watching the PNE parade—the first one in six years because of the war. After the parade, Walter held up the CIBC bank and murdered the manager. It was the largest manhunt in Vancouver's history. So, why did it take five years to catch him? This episode is based on original research from a chapter in my book Blood, Sweat, and Fear: The Story of Inspector Vance.
