Toronto’s Forgotten Five: The S*x Trade Worker Stranglings
Benita, Susan, Donna, Lori, Lyle – Was One Man Hunting Them All?
From the mid-1980s to the late-1990s, five women walked Toronto’s streets and never came home.
Benita “Bonnie” Tarantino, 17.�Susan Siegel, 20.�Donna Oglive, 24.�Lori Pinkus, 21.�Lyle Ford, 35.
All were s*x trade workers. All were moved from where they were last seen. All were strangled.Their lives were complicated, messy, and human. Their deaths were treated like background noise. Police chased tips, explored suspects, and developed DNA profiles… but decades later, their cases remain unsolved.
In this episode, we retrace their final nights, examine DNA, timelines, locations, and known predators from the era, and ask a chilling question: was there at least one serial killer targeting s*x trade workers in Toronto?
These are their stories, so they shall not be forgotten.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

Toronto’s Forgotten Five: The S*x Trade Worker Stranglings

Benita, Susan, Donna, Lori, Lyle – Was One Man Hunting Them All?

Over fifteen years, five s*x trade workers were found strangled in and around downtown Toronto. Benita ‘Bonnie’ Tarantino, Susan Siegel, Donna Oglive, Lori Pinkus, and Lyle Ford. Each taken from where they were last seen. Each left in a different corner of the city. For decades, their families and friends have lived with silence. In this episode, we walk through their final hours, the crime scenes, and the police files. We look at known predators of the era, from convicted killers to men who slipped through the system, and ask: was there at least one serial killer targeting these women?

These are Toronto’s forgotten five. Their stories deserve more than a footnote.

This is Ontario Cold Cases – Canada’s True Crime Podcast.

The Brutal Slaying of Harold and Florence Fagan

A Cold Case That Still Grips Toronto

On a cold March morning in 1978, Toronto’s North York was shattered by a brutal double murder. Harold and Florence Fagan, a beloved couple in their sixties, were gunned down in their home—Harold shot in the chest and head, Florence executed with a single bullet to the head. Their chauffeur discovered the grisly scene, the house ransacked but eerily untouched by forced entry. Less than $1,000 was taken, yet the precision of the killings whispered a darker truth: this was no random robbery.

Harold, a charismatic entrepreneur behind the CNE’s bustling concession stands, had enemies in the shadows of his carnival empire—perhaps even rivals in Montreal. The Fagans, pillars of Toronto’s Jewish community, lived a life of prominence, but their home had been targeted before. Did they open the door to a familiar face that fateful night? And why does this chilling case echo the savage Airst family murders just 1.5 km away, where another prominent Jewish family fell victim to a killer who left no trace?

Was it a business grudge? A staged burglary? Or a deeper, more sinister connection?
