In September 1992, 20-year-old Acadia University student Kenley Matheson vanished without a trace. Only two weeks into his first semester, Kenley's new friend Tom Gordon spots Kenley walking on the streets of Wolfville, Nova Scotia the evening of September 21 for the final time. What happened after this alleged sighting has been a mystery for over thirty years. In the time since Kenley went missing, several theories have emerged (some plausible and others shocking).

In the second part of our season four finale, we discuss the theory that Kenley had been murdered by a fellow Acadia student in 1992 when a family comes forward with what seems like promising information. Multiple theories are uncovered about where Kenley's remains can be found. Will Kenley's family finally have answers?

In the early morning hours of March 17, 1995 in Pickering, Ontario, six teenage boys go missing seemingly without a trace.

At 12:50am, they leave a house party and head to a local marina to "goof around".
At 1:48am, three of the boys are spotted on surveillance footage at the marina.
Between 2:30 and 3:00am, locals hear the sound of a motor boat near the docks.

Then, the trail goes cold with no concrete information surfacing about the whereabouts of the six boys nearly 30 years later. Police come to the logical conclusion that the six boys drowned in the lake that night after a joyride gone wrong. However, the stolen boat was allegedly "unsinkable" but has never been recovered in the lake despite an extensive search by police. So many questions remain in this case, with the biggest being: how can a boat and all six boys vanish without a trace?

On New Year's Day 1991, Catherine Carroll was murdered in her own home in St. John's, Newfoundland. Her son Greg Parsons was the one who found her lifeless body on the bathroom floor- stabbed a total of 53 times.

Soon after her murder, the police focused in on Greg as the culprit, despite there being zero pieces of forensic evidence tying him to the crime. Over the next several years, Greg Parsons and his family embarked on a fight for justice- a process that involved a wrongful conviction, an exoneration and an undercover police operation to find the real killer, with shocking results.

On New Year's Eve 2020, 20-year-old Zack Lefave attended a party in Plymouth,  a 15-minute drive from the larger town of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Just before midnight struck, Zack inexplicably left the party alone and decided to walk back to Yarmouth. During his walk home, Zack made several phone calls to friends saying he was in another town that was over five hours in the opposite direction of his intended destination.

A few eye witnesses see him walking alongside the highway with his pants off in the middle of that cold Nova Scotia night. His pants and several belongings were later found on the side of the road by investigators- but Zack nor his cell phone were ever recovered. Rumors have run rampant about what could have happened to Zack- did he fall off the road and later died from the elements? Was he met with foul play? Small clues and hints about his fate have come to the surface but to this day, the mystery of what happened to Zack that night still remains.

Robert “Willy” Pickton is one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers. His killing spree went uninterrupted for years, starting in the early 1990s until his arrest in 2002.

Living on a dirty pig farm all his life, Willy was known for his stench, his money, and his frequent company with sex workers. Despite rumours and eyewitness accounts, police could not connect Willy to the dozens of women going missing from Vancouver’s downtown east side. It took them years to admit a serial killer was roaming the streets of downtown Vancouver, allowing for Willy's reign of terror to endure for over a decade.

Elizabeth Wettlaufer was a nurse working the night shifts at Caressant Care, a long-term care home in Woodstock, Ontario beginning in 2007. Shortly after her arrival at the home, residents began passing away in their sleep. However, because they were elderly and nothing about their deaths seemed suspicious, no autopsies were conducted. If only the care home dug a little deeper into the circumstances surrounding the residents' deaths, they would have learned the sinister details about what was really going on: a deadly truth that turned out to be something no one could have imagined.

This is the story of how the personal demons of Elizabeth Wettlaufer became too much for her to handle, ultimately causing her to take a powerful role on the night shift much too far.

In part 2 of our Canadian serial killer mini series, we cover the case of Bruce McArthur, a 66-year-old self employed landscaper who was arrested in January 2018 and eventually charged with the murder and dismemberment of eight men in Toronto's gay village from 2010-2017.

Bruce left his family and suburban life behind after coming out in his 40's and relocating to Toronto in the late 1990's. Over the next several years, his violent side began to emerge which resulted in a few run-ins with the law that should have caused some red flags for authorities. But ultimately, he was able to fly under the police's radar to  kill eight men and discard their dismembered remains without any suspicion. This is the story of an entire community stalked by a serial killer for nearly a decade, the police who let him slip through their fingers multiple times and the men whose disappearances fell through the cracks.
