Random Murder on the Toronto Transit System (TTC)

January 08, 2023/ Nighttime

This episode takes us to the city of Toronto, Ontario

More specifically it take us onto the many trains, buses and street cars that rumble their way around it.

The TTC, or the Toronto Transit Commission, is the public transit system that services Toronto's diverse population. Using a mix of subways, buses, and street cars the TTC is Canada's largest public transit system.

With nearly 2 million riders a day, the TTC serves as the setting for many of life’s events; babies born onboard, the first moments of countless love stories, and of course there is murder… and that's what we will be discussing.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Canadian Crime video creator Madelayne Klein to discuss four stories of random, unprovoked Murder on the Toronto Transit System.

Mekayla Bali is Still Missing in Canada (last seen April 12, 2016 in Yorkton, Sask)

December 21, 2022/ Nighttime

On April 12th, 2016 something was happening in 16 year old Mekayla Bali's life, but that's about all we know for sure.

She did get dropped off at school, but she didn't attend classes. Instead she walked a twisted route around town, making a series of puzzling stops along the way, each one piling mystery upon mystery until mid afternoon when her trail simply ends.

Now, six years later her loved ones are still attempting to follow the clues left behind in hopes they lead to Mekayla.

Long time listeners of Nighttime will remember Mekayla's story as her mother Paula joined us shortly after the first anniversary of her disappearance but since then there have been considerable updates, developments, and listener requests for a follow up.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Canadian Crime video creator Madalayne Klein to revisit and provide updated details on disappearance of Mekayla Bali.

Tamra Keepness is Missing in Canada (last seen July 5, 2004 in Regina, Sask)

November 21, 2022/ Nighttime

At some point during the early morning of July 5, 2004, 5 year old Tamra Keepness seems to have simply vanished from her home.

The facts of that evening, as well as the behaviours of the adults responsible for Tamra's care, are more than a bit hazy. Alcoholism, drug abuse, sex work, and domestic violence all find their way into Tamra's last known night and all obscure the trail she left behind.

But if one thing is for certain, it's that Tamra’s family has far from given up on her.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Canadian crime video creator Madelayne Klein to discuss the disappearance of Tamra Keepness.

If you don't believe me, buckle up for this one as we are about to receive a guided tour through Ontario's controversial Oak Ridge Medical Asylum and the many unimaginable things that took place within it.

One of the many lives altered by Oak Ridge's cruelty is Steve Smith, in fact, many of the secrets that have been revealed since the experiements ceased, are a result of his determination to expose the truth of what happened in those walls.

the Unsolved Murder of Donna Jean Awcock

July 03, 2022/ Nighttime

London, Ontario - Oct.13, 1983

17-year-old Donna-Jean Awcock was babysitting a neighbour's child in the apartment building next door to where she lived… Something she did regularly.

When the child's mother returned home, in the early morning hours, she asked Donna run across the street to a convenience store before she left. This visit to the store which was only a stones throw away from her home is the last time Donna was seen alive.

A gruesome discovery at a riverbank in the days later would explain what happened to her... but not who was responsible.

The murder has remained unsolved for nearly 40 years, but not due to lack of trying. Donna's old sister Tammy has made it her life's mission to bring the person or persons responsible for Donna's death to justice.

In this episode of Nighttime, I'll be joined by Tammy Dennett, to discuss the still unsolved murder of her little sister Donna-Jean Awcock

Child Sex Trafficking, Survival, and Justice - a listener story

May 25, 2022/ Nighttime

Our guest (who will have their voice altered and will be referred to simply as Jane) has a story that begins in Halifax, Nova Scotia, back when she was just 14 years old.

A chance encounter, during an age and time of vulnerability, led her through experiences she is very fortunate to have survived.

Thankfully, she did and she is willing to share her story with us in hopes that it shines a light on the surprisingly active child sex trade.

Part 1

Part 2

In this episode of Nighttime, I'm again joined by Jane Doe to continue our discussion surrounding child sex trafficking, survival, and justice.

Dale Rancourt is a former children’s entertainer and registered sex offender who is known widely as the disgraced ‘Klutzy the Clown’,

the Disturbing Story of Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt - 2 - a documentary that didn't age well

November 10, 2021/ Nighttime

Dale Rancourt is a former children’s entertainer and registered sex offender who is known widely as the disgraced ‘Klutzy the Clown’,

As you heard in my prior episode while researching Rancourt's life and crime I referenced a documentary film (Big Shoes) about him, produced several years before his arrest.

As you may have expected, the film really didn't age well and not because of any creative of technical decisions Michael or Adrienne made but because it leaves out the topic that dominates any discussion about Dale Klutzy the Clown Rancourt.. the sexual offences against a child that occurred in the years after the films release.

After watching the film I was interested to hear how the filmmakers have dealt with such a spoiled creation and that’s exactly what we will get into in this episode.

In this episode of Nighttime we will be joined by Michael Fraiman and Adrian Lee and our topic is the disturbing story of Dale ' Klutzy ' Rancourt... and their documentary that really didn't age well.

Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt

November 07, 2021/ Nighttime

For more than a decade, it would have been difficult to find a Cape Bretoner who hadn't heard of Dale Rancourt’s alter ego, Klutzy the Clown.

Rancourt entertained both children and adults, bouncing from birthday parties to nursing homes to public events. Although he was not an especially good performer, he still managed to carve out a niche for Klutzy in Cape Breton's entertainment economy, but it's all gone now.

Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt violated some of the most fundamental rules society imposes on those entrusted with the care of children.

In this multi-part series, I’ll be delving into the disturbing tale of the disgraced Dale 'Klutzy the Clown' Rancourt.

the Death of Andrew Gnazdowsky (and the quest for answers and accountability)

October 21, 2021/ Nighttime

Then 26 year old civil engineer Andrew Gnazdowsky and a co-worker were on site completing a survey of a Nova Scotia Power dam near Sheet Harbour in October of 2020.

When a technology failure disrupted their work, Andrew made the fateful decision to enter the water and collect the failed equipment.

Moments later, Andrew would briefly yell for help before ultimately disappearing below the still water.

In the year since Andrew's tragic death, the Gnazdowsky's have been steadfast in their belief that the investigation into Andrew's death has been at best flawed and at worst completely compromised… and it's not just a hunch that tells them that.

Conflicts of interest, erroneous death records, the scrubbing online records, bureaucratic flip flopping, and opportunistic politicians...

This story has all of it.

Part 1

In this episode Nicole Gnazdowsky describes the search for answers and accountability related to the death of her brother Andrew Gnazdowsky.

Part 2

In this episode we are again joined by Nicole Gnazdowsky to discuss the continued quest for accountability related to the death of her brother Andrew.
