  • 111 - Revisiting Ritzy

    We're back with updates on the case of Derek "Ritzy" Ritz, which we first discussed on the show in October of 2021. Ritzy is the only missing person in Stratford, Ontario, and has been missing for over six years, yet the local police department isn't giving his case any attention. But thanks to the determination of Ritzy's friends, and a private investigator from the organization 'Please Bring Me Home,' witnesses are finally beginning to come forward to confirm the rumours surrounding Ritzy's death. Ritzy deserves justice, and in order to get it, his case demands more attention from the police, and more witness testimony.

    Writing and research by Aurora Cady.

  • 110 - Horrifying History: The Collar Bomb Bank Robbery

    While we're on hiatus, enjoy this episode from fellow Darkcast Podcast, Horrifying History:
    -----

    Through the years, the little tasks that we have to do evolve with time and technology. We don’t have to go to the grocery store any longer with grocery delivery or meal preparations services. We don’t have to vacuum our floors, since we can now get a robot vacuum that can do it. But the one thing I don’t miss is going to the bank.

    For me, going to the bank is the worst. Standing in line for what seems to be hours versus using an app? In my mind there is no contest. Think of all the time we save by using banking apps. But as you know; sometimes you still have to go to the bank, and for a pizza delivery man from the United States - going to the PNC Bank resulted in his death.

  • 107 - The Murder of Kedarie Johnson

    This week marks seven years since the death of 16-year-old Kedarie Johnson in Burlington, Iowa. The teen was gender nonconforming and non-binary, and was murdered seemingly in response to that gender expression. Still Kedarie's killers, two cisgender men, were not charged with a hate crime.

    Writing and research by Aurora Cady.
