the Strange World of INCELs (with Naama Kates)

/

Incels are the online community, made up predominantly of men, who define their identity in the fact that they are involuntarily celibate. the Incel subculture, as regular listeners of Nighttime know, doesn't just wallow in misogynism, self pity, and entitlement in the internet’s dark corners..

Some self identifying Incels have seen their inability to get laid as justification to commit horrific acts of mass murder...

It's a twisted, dark, and very troubling community, but it's also fascinating and I think it's worth exploring.

To help guide us along the way, I invited a colleague from the world of podcasting to join me.

In this episode we are going to explore the strange and dark world of the self described INCELS (involuntary celibate). Our guest is journalist/podcast creator Naama Kates (host of the Incel Project).

the Death of Riley Fairholm - 2 - Riley and Me (with Camille Larouche)

/

In the early morning hours of July 25, 2018 a 911 call was made in Brome Lake, Qc.

The caller, Riley Fairholm, reported a man in distress, carrying a handgun, and shouting to himself.

When the police arrived on the scene it took only 61 seconds before a responding officer shot the young man holding the gun dead. In a confusing turn, the caller was the man with the gun.

The events that led up to and followed that police interaction have received much more than 61 seconds of consideration.

In this episode of Nighttime, Riley’s past girlfriend Camille Larouche will share memories of her time with Riley Fairholm.

/

In the early morning hours of July 25, 2018 a 911 call was made in Brome Lake, Qc.

The events that led up to and followed that police interaction have received much more than 61 seconds of consideration.

The victim's mother, Tracy Wing, has made it her mission to hold the police accountable for what she and her many supporters believe was the knee jerk, poorly planned, and unnecessary shooting death of her 17 year old son Riley Fairholm.

In this episode of Nighttime Tracy Wing will join us to share her son's story of mental illness, a 911 call, a police shooting, and her odyssey to hold the police accountable. 

Our topic, is the death of Riley Fairholm.

the Unsolved Murder of Tanner Krupa - 2 - a discussion with True North True Crime

/

This story is going to take us to an alleyway in Surrey, BC.

On an otherwise uneventful night, in August of 2017, something horrible happened there. Despite the passage of time and tremendous efforts we still don't know what happened exactly, but when the dust settled 19 year old Tanner Krupa was dead.

Tanner had only been in Surrey for a handful of days, there for a short work trip. Just a 19 year old who stepped out to grab something at a near by convenience store and somehow ends up dead in an alleyway hours later.

The only evidence left behind is images on a nearby security camera showing two white vehicles fleeing the scene. The vehicles, nor their occupants, have yet to be identified.

In tonight's episode, we are going to be joined by the hosts of True North True Crime for a discussion surrounding Tanner's unsolved murder.

the Disapperance of Holly Clark

/
 
 

At the time of her disappearance, 27 year old Holly Clark was pursuing her dream to be a professional musician in Hamilton, Ontario. However suddenly, and with little warning, she seemed to find herself on the brink of crisis. 

On the morning of January 10th, 2020 Holly phoned her parents in Calgary to request help returning home. During the call Holly would share the frightening, yet vague, details of a traumatic experience that led her to spending the prior night running for her life from either a real or imagined threat. 

It was obvious she needed help but shortly before her father arrived, she walked out of her apartment and into the cold air and pouring rain. 

In part one, we will be joined by her father Dave Clark for a conversation surrounding the disappearance of his daughter Holly Clark.

In part two, we will be joined by Elle, the volunteer who has both a central role and a mission as a member of the Holly Clark search team.

In this episode of Nighttime we will be joined by journalist Tyler Hooper for a discussion centering on the striking similarities between Holly Clark’s story and that of Emma Fillipoff’s

In this episode of Nighttime we will again be joined by her father Dave and employer Elle to discuss the heartbreaking update to this case.

In this episode of Nighttime we will again be joined by her past employer, and leader of the search team, Elle to discuss what we’ve learned in the months since Holly’s remains were found.

the Life, Death, and Legacy of Amanda Todd (with Carol Todd)

/

Amanda Todd was still a child when she began to share her love of singing with viewers around the world on Youtube. Perhaps she was hopeful that she would be discovered like Justin Bieber, another Canadian youtuber, recently had.

Like Justin, Amanda too found a sort of fame as a result of sharing her talents. Tragically, Amanda is known around the world not for her voice or her charm but as a cautionary tale about the evils that lurk all around us.

As we know now, one of the people who was moved by Amanda's performances managed to sneak into her personal life, and infiltrate her inner circle. When Amanda shared an intimate photo, the anonymous predator would begin an odyssey of sextortion, harassment, and cyber stalking that would end in Amanda's death.

Since taking her own life, over 50 million people have heard Amanda's story, largely as a result of a viral video she made shortly before her death. In the video, shot on a webcam in black and white, Amanda shares the her story by flipping through a series of index cards as she visibly sobs.

Tonight, in this episode of Nighttime, we are going to hear Amanda's story by someone who has stood by Amanda through it, and still to this day carries on her search for justice, and continues her legacy.

Our guest is Amanda Todd's mother, and well known internet safety and mental health advocate, Carol Todd.

the Disappearance of Lisa Marie Young (with Laura Palmer)

/

Lisa Marie Young was a 21-year-old indigenous Canadian who disappeared from Nanaimo, British Columbia on June 30, 2002.

Lisa had spent her last known night at a local nightclub and several house parties, before accepting a ride to a fast food restaurant from a man she had just met. Her final communication was a series of distressing messages she sent to a friend suggesting she was being held against her will.

Although Young has never been found, her disappearance is being investigated as a homicide.

The Toronto Van Attack - 3 - Alek Minassian is Guilty

/

Although Canada is no stranger to murder, madness and mayhem, we have been very fortunate to have largely avoided the type of mass murders and shootings that have become common fixtures in other countries with similar cultures to our own.

On April 23, 2018, Younge Street in Downtown Toronto was the setting of an event that many Canadians had taken comfort in thinking could never happen here.

25 year old Alek Minassian hit the gas and jerked the wheel of the rented cube van he was driving forcing the vehicle onto a busy sidewalk. For several city blocks Minassian used the vehicle to target pedestrians, killing 10 and injuring 16.

In this episode of Nighttime, I am again joined by my best friend Scott to continue our discussion of the Toronto Van Attack. For the third part in this series, our focus is on the judge's decision in the case against Minassian.

the Many Catches of the Toronto Predator Poachers

/

Toronto, Ontario is a big city... home to over two million... and a bunch of them are online approaching children with criminal intent.

Fortunately, their dark fantasies are a little further out of reach thanks to a vigilante group called the Toronto Predator Poachers.

Using fake online accounts and elaborate decoy work, this group helps pull Toronto's child sex predators out of the shadows and into the light.

The predator, expecting to meet a child, instead comes face to face with an over 6 foot tall, 200+ lb. man, holding a camera. He's not there to arrest them or harm them physically. What he does do however is make them call their wives or parents to admit what they are up to, and if that wasn't bad enough he also posts videos of the whole thing online and reports them to police.

So yeah, it gets quite intense.

In this episode of Nighttime we are joined by Matt (the catcher) and Soph (the decoy) and our topic is the many catches of the Toronto Predator Poachers.

Allan Legere's Christmas Blessings

/

Snow was on the ground, a chill was in the air, and Christmas was all around.

I put on my boots and hat, zipped up my coat, and headed into the cold to check my mailbox. When I opened it, I found some flyers, a gift I had ordered for my mom, and a handful of Christmas cards friends and family who still hold on to the traditional way of staying connected.

My grandma scribbled her name on one, my friend Craig sent me his regards along with an updated family photo, but there was one I couldn’t immediately identify that looked a little thicker than the rest.

The name on the front of the envelope wasn't that legible, so I opened it still not knowing who exactly it was from.

inside, was a very typical Christmas card... decorated with a little church and a stylized font wishing Christmas Blessings.

overall very typical… until I opened it.

Inside, I saw a card completely covered with barely legible writing, and a serpate multipage letter covered with the same scribbled text. Just as I began contemplating who sent such a bizarre card I noticed the only piece of easily legible writing.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family.

my Christmas blessings, Allan Legere

As the colour drains from my face, I realize I'm holding a christmas card sent to me by one of the world's most horrific serial killers, the Monster of the Miramich, and now I’m going to share it with you.

In this episode of Nighttime, using his own words taken from a Christmas card he sent me.

We are going to hear from Allan Legere.

the Life, Death, and Legacy of Rehtaeh Parson

/

This story is hard to listen to, but equally so, it's important.

We are going to be joined by someone who's personal tragedy has positioned them to become an internationally known activist and advocate against sexualized violence and cyber bullying.

Her name is Leah Parsons and what she and her family have been through over the last 7 years... simply put... is horrific.

The story starts with the rape of Leah's then 15 year old daughter by a group of young men and continues with a 17 month quest for justice, and odyssey to stop photos of the rape from circulating around Rehteah's school.

Obviously, what will be discussing isn't for the faint of heart, but as horrible as it is, you will hear some positives.

The crimes against Leah's daughter highlighted significant problems with many of the institutions parents rely to keep their children safe and eventually, this story would the catalyst for change. To prevent something like this from happening again new cyber bullying laws were introduced and sweeping changes were implemented in schools, police departments, and within our mental health services.

It's just a shame that Leah's daughter Rehteah had to pay for those changes with her life.

In this episode of Nighttime, we are joined by Leah Parsons and our topic is the life, the death, and the legacy of Rehteah Parsons.

the Story of Glen Race

/

For a period of weeks, in May of 2007, it appeared a serial killer may have been targeting Halifax Nova Scotia’s gay community. When a suspect was identified and arrested at the Mexican - USA border, it turned out to be something all together different. To put it plainly, Glen Race thought he was destroying vampires. 

To help me talk through the story, and to join in the discussion surrounding the many elements to this case, I've invited my good friend and fellow podcaster Kristi Lee (Canadian True Crime) to join me.

In this episode of Nighttime, we are going to be discussing the story of Glen Race.

The Sydney River McDonald's Murders - 2 - The Investigation

/

Sydney, Nova Scotia, 1992 

When 18 year old McDonald's employee Derek Wood finished his shift, he lingered for a time in the closed restaurant before exiting.

The resulting robbery gone wrong will lead to a mass murder and an entire community struggling to understand how this could happen and who was responsible.

During this series, the story will be told by Phonse Jessome who led the local reporting at the time of the crime and wrote the bestselling book on the case, 'Murder at McDonald's'. 

In this episode, we cover the investigation leading up to the arrests.
