    Additional content warning: This case is about the death of a baby, and there is mention of domestic violence and animal abuse. Please take care when listening.
    After the disappearance of a baby in Windsor in 1990, lurid headlines on both sides of the Detroit River quickly turned the baby’s teen parents into sordid celebrities.
    The intention of this episode is to take a look back at a shocking crime sensationalized through headlines, how it captured public attention and inspired vigilante justice. It also reveals the stark differences between Canadian and American news coverage that played a pivotal role in the way this crime—and the stories about this crime—played out.

    EDMONTON, ALBERTA
    After the body of a blonde-haired woman is found in an icy ditch by the side of the road, it proves difficult to get to the bottom of what happened to her - and who was ultimately responsible.
    The intention of this episode is to shine a light on the inner workings of our criminal justice system in the context of the “open court principle”—which assumes that public confidence in the integrity of the court system and administration of justice is fostered by openness and full publicity.

Favorite True Crime

This is the best true crime podcast I’ve listened to. Very similar to casefile and cold case files which I love. No excessive commentary or opinions like a lot of other true crime shows. The included explanations of the judicial process from both sides of every case is a great addition compared to many podcasts which only report the verdict. Also she is very respectful in how she addresses the cases, taking into account the victims families and she is very mindful in how to present cases, mentioning how the true crime genre is essentially exploitation of someone’s trauma for entertainment but she goes to great lengths to produce episodes with respect. The host presents everything in a straightforward, understandable and accurate way. I love her narration and continue to be surprised to hear that other listeners have complained. Im really looking forward to new episodes and highly recommended CTC to anyone interested in true crime or the Canadian legal system

Usually, if not always, Interesting

The tone and delivery of this show are very similar to Casefiles, which is my favorite. The episodes convey facts of the case without excessive emotionalism or improper humor. At times I’m not interested in the particular case but that’s expected. The show host enunciates clearly and doesn’t try to make the show about her and her life. I was surprised to hear on an older episode that listeners had complained about the host. To each his own, I guess, but this is precisely what I’m looking for in a true crime podcast

Great podcast..but
