The Unsolved Murder of Lisa Anstey: The Street City Mystery

The Unsolved Murder of Lisa Anstey: The Street City Mystery DNA and Doubt: The search for Lisa Anstey's killer leads from a serial predator to a predator with a badge

On May 12, 1997, the body of 21-year-old Lisa Anstey was found strangled in a downtown Toronto laneway, near the notorious homeless camp "Street City." Known as a "scrapper, tough as nails," Lisa was a small First Nations woman and sex trade worker who had been on the streets since age 11.

She was fully clothed, but her right running shoe was missing—a potential trophy for a killer police believed had transported her from another location.

Lisa's murder occurred amid a grim series of unsolved homicides targeting Toronto sex workers. Police chased leads, including DNA linking the killer to a white male with light hair. They even questioned convicted killer Peter Dale MacDonald, whose charges in similar cases were ultimately dropped.

But host Jay Nicoll uncovers a darker theory: whispers among street workers pointing to a known area cop, referred to as K.L., who demanded sex and threatened arrest.

Who silenced Lisa Anstey, and why did her shoe disappear? Her murder remains unsolved.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
