242. The Gig's Up: Rori Hache & Kandis Fitzpatrick

SURPRISE!

We have one last episode for 2023!

Thank you to Tina for requesting this episode. She's been a listener since pretty much the beginning of OTCP.

On the evening of September 11th, 2017, a fisherman spotted an unusual object floating along the surface of Lake Ontario near Oshawa Pier. After several attempts to bring the object closer with his fishing line, he realized he had made a grim discovery - the dismembered torso of a woman. There were no signs of identification, such as age indicators, scars, or tattoos, so Durham Police began scouring their missing people database for clues.

It would take two months for police to identify the torso as 18-year-old Rori Hache, who had been reported missing a few days prior to being found. Despite their efforts to find the killer, the investigators could not find any significant leads that would give them the answers they were looking for.

On December 29th, 2017, the police received a call a huge break. A plumber had dialed 911 to report a suspicious substance found in a drain at a property he was working at. He had gone to the property following complaints from neighbors that their plumbing was backing up into their sinks and bathtubs and was causing an unpleasant smell throughout their apartments.

Durham Regional Police arrived on the scene a short while later and knocked on the home's basement apartment. When 45-year-old Adam Strong answered the door, he calmly said, "The gig's up..."

Little White Corvette: Robert Lee Yates Jr Day 12 :12 Nightmares Before Christmas

We made it to Day 12! We hope you've had a wonderful holiday season! Thank you all for such a great 2023!

Most people have heard of the Green River Killer. Washington State’s most notorious serial killer was hard to miss in the 1990s. His moniker and his horrendous deeds could be found in most major newspapers across America. But there was another serial killer preying on society’s weak and vulnerable at about the same time in the exact same state.

While Gary Ridgeway was killing women and dumping them on the western side of Washington, Robert Lee Yates Jr was doing the same thing just four hours to the east on the other side of the state. In fact, at one point, investigators thought that the Green River Killer had just moved his hunting ground. But after a few bodies showed up in Spokane with gunshot wounds and plastic grocery bags wrapped around their heads, they realized that the MO was totally different. With a growing sense of dread, investigators realized that the sex workers and runaways of Spokane were not the victims of the Green River Killer. They were the victims of an entirely different monster.

The Torture Dungeon of Charles Ng and Leonard Lake: Day 11: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

On June 2, 1985, the Southern San Francisco police department received a report of a shoplifting incident. A man calmly exited a store with a tool called a vice, placed it in the trunk of a beige 1980 Honda Prelude, and vanished before apprehension could occur. Officer Daniel Wright reported to the South City Lumberyard. Inside the car was a man who presented a driver's license identifying him as Robin Stapley. One issue: the license photo did not match the man sitting in front of them. License plates on the vehicle indicated that it was registered to an individual named Lonnie Bond, and the car was listed as a Buick. Growing suspicious, officers got into the trunk and discovered the vice that had been reported as stolen. Also inside the trunk is a .22-caliber revolver fitted with a silencer. The unknown man was taken into the station, where he adamantly denied any involvement in any wrongdoing. What would unfold in the next several days is unthinkable.

The Saskatchewan Stabbings Day 10: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

Day 10 is here!

On September 4, 2022, 32-year-old Myles Sanderson went on a killing spree in Weldon, Saskatchewan, Canada, on the James Smith Cree Nation. Eleven people lost their lives, and eighteen more were injured. This event is considered to be one of the deadliest massacres in Canadian history.

In a country where mass killings are relatively rare, the attacks shook the country to its core. Especially when Canadians discovered shortly thereafter that the RCMP had been looking for Myles since May of 2022 when he stopped meeting with his caseworker. The public was aghast to learn of Myles Sanderson’s criminal history and how the system had so grievously failed them.

The Family That Kills Together: India’s Baby Killers Day 9: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

On the 9th day of our "12 Nightmares before Christmas," our journey takes us to Pune, India, where we encounter twenty-one-year-old Renuka Kiran Shinde. She had just returned to her home, which she shared with her second husband, her son from her first marriage, her mother, Anjanabai, and her younger stepsister, Seema Gavit. Renuka was excited, as the family had long struggled financially and was searching for a way to obtain money quickly. Renuka believed she had a perfect plan, albeit a highly gruesome one, that would eventually earn the three women the infamous title of 'India’s Child Killers.'

The Glynn County Massacre: Guy Heinze Jr Day 8: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

It's already day 8!

On an August morning in 2009 in Brunswick, Georgia, twenty-two-year-old Guy Heinze Jr returned to the trailer that he shared with nine family members. When he stepped inside, he found the beaten bodies of seven people: his father, Guy Sr, Russell Toler Sr, Russell Jr, Michelle and Chrissy Toler, Brenda Falagan, and Joseph West. Michael Toler and Chrissy's three-year-old were clinging to life. Michael would later die at the hospital.

Guy Heinze Jr was arrested for the murders and found guilty in a court of law. But not everyone agrees with the verdict. While some agree Guy Jr killed his entire family in a drug-fueled rage, others believe that he is completely innocent. At the very least, they feel he did not get a fair trial and that the investigation was poorly executed.

The Backpack Killer: Ivan Milat Day 7: 12 Nightmares Before Christmas

On Saturday, September 19, 1992, Ken Seily and his companion Keith Caldwell were pursuing their shared passion for running. Both were running club members and regularly trained on various trails within the Belangalo State Forest. They spent a significant part of the day running through the forest, eventually reaching a location known as the "Executioners Drop" due to its steep descent into a deep gorge. However, as they neared this spot, a foul odor began to fill the air. The closer they came to the area, the more intense the stench. Upon reaching their destination, they noticed an unusual mound on the ground, with what appeared to be strands of human hair protruding from it. Upon closer examination, they also observed a shoe fragment emerging from the mound. Sadly, the discovery of this body would be the first of many to come.
