Feb 14, 202500:01:33Tap to summarizeThe Vanishing of Erin ‘Portia’ McGonigal (Coming this Sunday February 16) How does a woman with a vibrant online presence, a plan for the future, and a circle of friends simply vanish without a trace? On October 6, 2015, Erin McGonigal was preparing to leave her husband and move forward with her life. But before she could take that next step—she disappeared. At first, no one thought much of it. But 49 days later, when Erin still hadn’t surfaced, three of her friends walked into a Peel Regional Police station and filed a missing person’s report. Not her husband. Not her family. Her friends. What happened during those 49 days? Why did she stop posting on social media so suddenly? And why does it feel like no one—not even law enforcement—has all the answers? From conflicting statements to unsettling inconsistencies, this case remains unsolved to this day. Join Ontario Cold Cases – Canada’s True Crime Podcast coming this Sunday February 16 as we uncover the chilling details behind the disappearance of Erin McGonigal.

Feb 13, 202500:34:51Tap to summarizeThe Duke’s Shadow: The Murder of Sir Harry Oakes (Part 2) A brutal murder in paradise. A royal cover-up that shocked the world. A mystery still unsolved after eighty years. Sir Harry Oakes was the richest man in the Bahamas—a multimillionaire who struck gold in Canada and fled to the Caribbean to protect his fortune from taxation. But wealth couldn’t shield him from what was coming. On July 8, 1943, Oakes was found bludgeoned to death in his own bed. His body was doused in gasoline, covered in feathers, and set on fire—a grisly attempt to erase all traces of the crime. But the fire never took, leaving behind a crime scene that whispered of a deeper, darker truth. The murder sent shockwaves through high society, drawing in royalty, gangsters, and spies. But instead of justice, the investigation became one of the greatest cover-ups in history. At the center of it all? The Duke of Windsor—formerly King Edward VIII—who personally intervened, overriding local authorities and bringing in two corrupt Miami detectives. Within hours, an arrest was made. The accused? Alfred de Marigny, a suave, twice-divorced playboy who had defied Oakes by marrying his daughter, Nancy. The evidence? A single perfect fingerprint—later exposed as an outright plant. De Marigny was framed, and when the truth unraveled, the case was abruptly shut down. No one else was ever charged. The real murderer walked free. So who really killed Sir Harry Oakes? Was it a mob hit? A political assassination? A murder for money? Or did Oakes’s knowledge of Nazi-linked financial schemes make him a target? In The Duke’s Shadow, Ontario Cold Cases unravels the twisted web of deception surrounding one of the most baffling and scandalous murders of the 20th century. With deep dives into lost evidence, political intrigue, and shocking revelations, this is true crime at its most gripping. Justice was never served. But the story isn’t over. Coming next week, in Part Three of Murder in Paradise – The Unsolved Murder of Sir Harry Oakes... We’ll explore the cover-up, the lost evidence, the failed investigation, and the most compelling modern theories about who really killed Sir Harry Oakes. Was it a hired assassin? A deal gone wrong? Or was there a deeper conspiracy, one that reached into the shadows of World War II politics and the highest echelons of power? Join us as we unravel the final chapter of this twisted case—one that takes us from the halls of Government House in Nassau to the smoke-filled backrooms of the world’s most dangerous players. Discover the case that rocked the British Empire—and decide for yourself who killed Sir Harry Oakes. Don’t miss this episode of Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast.

Dead Men Don't Dance - A Mick & Mystery
Feb 12, 202500:15:48Tap to summarizeDEAD MEN DON’T DANCE A Mick & Mack Mystery The lights are low, the music is smooth, and the secrets are buried deeper than the dance steps at Toronto’s most prestigious ballroom school. But when famed dance instructor Gaston Moreau is found dead—dressed for his final waltz—detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely find themselves drawn into a tangled world of jealousy, ambition, and deception. The suspects are lined up like dancers before a performance—a bitter rival, a jilted patron, a washed-up former champion, and a sharp-tongued receptionist. Each has a story, each has a motive, and each is hiding something. As Mick pieces together the dark truth behind Moreau’s last dance, Mack goes undercover as an awkward beginner, much to the amusement of the seasoned professionals—and the sheer agony of his own feet. But when a hidden stash of letters reveals a secret inheritance and a final, fateful meeting, the case takes a deadly turn. Now, the detectives must waltz through a web of deceit before the killer claims another victim. Can they uncover the truth before the music stops for good? Step onto the dance floor, but be careful—some steps lead straight to murder. Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, available wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.
