One of Canada's Longest Serving Prisoners - The Case of Jack Bender

On November 21 1973, at around 11pm Jack Wayne Bender and his accomplice Dwight Douglas Lucas kidnapped Alan and Michael Hurd, and brutally attack the brothers with an axe in a field. Micheal Hurd sadly didn’t survive. By some miracle his brother Allan survived the attack and was able to stagger from this field just 25 miles outside of Winnipeg and knock on a farmers door that was about 100 yards away. He would later testify against Bender and Lucas at their second-degree murder trial where they would both be convicted.

The Disturbing Case of Richard Taylor

Richard Taylor was always exceptionally horrible with money, and was desperate to keep this secret from his wife. In order to hide his growing debt he deliberately set fire to his mother’s Dundas, Ontario home on July 9, 2018, killing both his mother Carla and stepfather Alan Rutherford in the blaze.

The Cottage Killer David Snow

During the winter of 1992, a man nicknamed the House Hermit by police, was committing strange break and enters in the community of Caledon Ontario. Several months later, Nancy and Ian Blackburn suddenly disappeared from their cottage in Orangeville. They would be found murdered a week later, inside the trunk of Nancy’s car outside of the couple’s Toronto home. Police quickly focused their investigation on David Alexander Snow, an eccentric local who owned an antique shop in Orangeville. He would evade capture for weeks, going on the run and eventually turning up in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he went on a two week crime spree before being apprehended, and later declared a dangerous offender by the courts.
