After being reported to the RCMP, further investigation would discover that the 49-year-old mother of five was last seen at a Petro Canada gas station over an hour away from her home the previous month. A proud member of Bigstone Cree Nation, it was completely unlike her to be out of touch and even though the RCMP has never officially named a suspect in the case, her family has a strong feeling that they know exactly who was involved in Mary's disappearance.

    Don't Fall Asleep (Preview) - John-Paul Skamarski

    It was August 2006 when Leicester police were called to the home of Jason Moore after a 999 call reported there had been a brutal stabbing. Upon arrival, they discovered a scene reminiscent of something straight out of horror film: two men covered in blood, with one of them wearing a five-bladed glove just like the fictional antagonist, Freddy Krueger. The community would be held in suspension at such a horrifying example of imitation. How much blame does art carry when it comes to imitation in life, and when does obsession become insanity?

    Climbing Up the Walls - Russell Williams

    When 27-year-old Jessica Lloyd failed to show up for work, it immediately set off alarm bells for everyone who knew how responsible and reliable she was. Upon further inspection, two sets of footprints in the snow would show Jessica's shoes walking away from her home towards the property line, vanishing once met with tire tracks. Someone had taken her. And this was yet another event on a growing list of break-ins, burglaries and even assault in small Ontario towns once untouched by major crime. What was first disregarded as some deranged creep on the loose had escalated to kidnapping and possibly even murder. But the last thing the authorities expected was for their investigation to lead them right to the Royal Canadian Air Force, and specifically, Colonel David Russell Williams. Could this really be their guy? How was it possible that a decorated pilot and respected commander was one of the most dangerous and deadly men Canada has ever seen?

    Blind Bet - Philip Markoff

    Philip Markoff appeared to have it all: a shiny academic record, a beautiful fiancé and a successful medical career in the making.

Using Craigslist to meet women and steal his way back to freedom, Philip would eventually end up with blood on his hands. And while the Boston Homicide Unit was solving the murder of Julissa Brisman as fast as technology could go, Philip was already looking for his next victim with no plans to stop.
