Insightful follow up episode from Island Crime on the disappearance of Kelly McLeod.

Lorraine McLeod's 'little man' loved peaches, animals, and the outdoors; he had a pretty good giggle too. Recently, Lorraine came to Campbell River one last time to search for answers in her son's disappearance.

My update to Kelly's story is out today. Please listen and keep Kelly McLeod's family in your thoughts. And if you know something, it's long past time to step up.

Ep. 124- MMIMB Byron Watson

On November 26, 2023, 23-year-old Byron Watson left his auntie’s home on Lonsdale Street in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. He told his family he’d be back later that day — but he never returned.

Byron, a member of the Nekaneet Cree Nation, was a well-known presence in the small community of Maple Creek. He worked at the local livestock auction barn, supported his brother at hockey games, and was planning to return to work in the oil fields that January. There was nothing unusual about the day he vanished — no signs of distress, no clear destination. He simply disappeared.

In the weeks and months that followed, Byron’s family and community launched extensive searches across Maple Creek and nearby Nekaneet territory. The RCMP conducted aerial searches and used drone technology, but Byron has still not been found.

If you have any information about Byron Watson’s disappearance, please contact Maple Creek RCMP or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.

Jodi Henrickson

16 years ago this morning — on June 20, 2009 — Jodi Henrickson vanished.

Jodi had traveled from Horseshoe Bay to Bowen Island the day before. She was just 17 years old.

That night, she attended two gatherings on the island. At one of them was her ex-boyfriend Gavin — a young man with a history of violence toward Jodi. At the time, there was a no-contact order in place after Gavin had previously assaulted her.

Close to the turnoff to Millers Landing, a young couple driving to catch an early ferry noticed Jodi and Gavin standing by the side of the road. That sighting — around 6:30 a.m. — is the last known time anyone saw Jodi Henrickson.

She never made it off the island.
She has never been seen again.

If you know anything about what happened to Jodi, please contact Crime Stoppers or the RCMP.

Part 2 is now avaiable!

Episode 101 - The Disappearance of Jodi Henrickson - Part 2 is now available.

In this two part episode, we mark the somber milestone of 15 years since the mysterious disappearance of Jodi Henrickson. On a summer night in June 2009, the 17-year-old left for a party on Bowen Island and was never seen again. Her case has remained unsolved, leaving a void in the lives of those who knew and loved her.

We’re joined by documentary producer Jenni Baynham, who is deep into creating a docuseries aimed at uncovering new leads and bringing Jodi’s story back into the spotlight. Jenni's work is not just about storytelling but about seeking justice and closure for Jodi and her family.

Their relationship had been turbulent. A no-contact order was in place because Gavin had previously assaulted Jodi.

She never left the island.
She was just 17 years old.

Ep. 123 MISSING: Jessie Foster

In March 2006, 21-year-old Jessie Foster who was from Kamloops BC, vanished from North Las Vegas under circumstances that point to a disturbing pattern of trafficking and violence against women. Nearly two decades later, her case remains unsolved—but her story is far from forgotten.

In this episode, we partnered with Jessie's mother, Glendene Grant, whose tireless advocacy has kept Jessie’s name alive in the public eye. Glendene shares insight into Jessie’s life, the red flags that surfaced before her disappearance, and the unrelenting fight to bring her daughter home. We also explore the broader issues of exploitation and the systemic failures that allow victims to fall through the cracks. Glendene has become a powerful advocate for victims and families through her organization, Mothers Against Trafficked Humans—a group she founded in Jessie’s name: https://www.facebook.com/MothersAgainstTraffickingHumans/

If you have any information about Jessie Foster’s disappearance, please contact the North Las Vegas Police Department at (702) 633-9111 or Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555.

Behind the Badge: A Conversation with Sergeant Chris Voller of the NPF

In this episode we’re shining a light on the human side of policing—something that’s often overshadowed or misunderstood. We sat down with Sergeant Chris Voller of the National Police Federation to talk candidly about what frontline officers are facing in 2025: the staffing shortages, the public scrutiny, the toll on mental health, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up.

Chris represents over 20,000 RCMP members across Canada, and in this conversation, he shares not only his professional insight but his personal story—why he became a cop, what keeps him going, and how the NPF is working to support those who serve.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered what it really means to wear the uniform—and for every officer who’s ever felt unseen, unheard, or unappreciated. We see you. And we thank you.

Ep 120: Aspen Pallot (part 2)

In Part One, we shared Aspen Pallot’s vibrant life and the devastating impact of intimate partner violence.

Now, in Part Two, we follow her family’s painful journey through the Canadian justice system, a process that felt cold, slow, and disconnected. The trial hinged on intent: was Solaris Dey guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter?

In the end, he was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to just two years in custody.

Then, in March 2024, Aspen’s family was retraumatized when Solaris was linked to another violent crime.

This episode examines the court’s decision, the system’s failures, and the ongoing toll on those left behind.
