Ontario Cold Cases - The Podcast: Feb 4 Trailer & Specials 3

Specials 3 & Feb 4 Trailer

S2-EP5 Sandy LeBlanc (Trailer)

Hello, I’m Jay Nicoll of Nicoll Investigations and I’m here to tell you about our next episode of Ontario Cold Cases - The Podcast, coming this Sunday, February 4.

He was stabbed more than 100 times. Was Sandy LeBlanc the victim of another Toronto Village serial killer?

Seven unsolved murders connected to Toronto’s Village from 1975 to 1978 all have similarities: each showed extreme, up-close violence, in which the men were stabbed, strangled or beaten.

Whoever killed nightclub manager, Alexander (Sandy) Romeo LeBlanc, clearly wanted to hurt him as deeply as possible.

LeBlanc, 29, was stabbed more than 100 times and severely beaten before his body was found by friends on the evening of Wednesday, Sept. 20, 1978, in his apartment at 16 St. Joseph Court (now Street). His home was near Studio II, a disco he ran in the Village.

Ontario Cold Cases - The Podcast: Upcoming Episode! Judy Carter

The mysterious after-school disappearance of 8-year-old Judy Carter on Feb. 25, 1955 would lead to a search dubbed the “greatest ever carried out in Toronto,’’ by police of the day.

Little Judy had been missing for 10 days when a search party of 500 people — firefighters, off-duty and on duty police officers, Boy Scouts and members of the public, including the principal of Judy’s school — scoured a 38-square kilometre area of Toronto from Cherry Beach north to Leaside, and Broadview Ave. west to Yonge St.

They found no trace of the young Cabbagetown resident.

A month later, on April 9, 27 kilometres away, two boys looking for a fishing spot along the banks of the Rouge River in Unionville (now Markham) found a little girl’s body. Star police reporter Gwyn “Jocko’’ Thomas quoted the detectives’ theory that Judy had been strangled in her abductor’s car and her body “tossed over a culvert bridge’’ into the river, where it “floated a considerable distance downstream’’ before lodging on a creek bed.

“She was dead before she was thrown in the water,” Chief Coroner Smirle Lawson said after an autopsy. Judy had been strangled with her own white woollen scarf. “The scarf cut cruelly into her flesh,” Lawson said. There were no other marks on her body.

Was the little girls murder connected to the murders of other little girls around that time? Was there a serial killer operating in Toronto in the 1950’s?

Ontario Cold Cases - The Podcast: Upcoming Episode! Smiths Falls

Recent unexplained disappearances have left the eastern Ontario town of Smiths Falls, featuring a population of about 9,300, with more questions than answers.

The mystery began in the fall of 2022 when Lawrence Bertrim, who was 42 at the time, disappeared.

His acquaintance Robbie Thomson, 34, was reported missing a little over a year later — around mid-October.

And earlier this month, the body of 34-year-old Steve Tate — believed to be an acquaintance of Bertrim and Thomson — was discovered in a ditch along Highway 15, just north of town.

Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have not linked the three cases. The force has said only that its investigations are ongoing.

People who knew the three men said all three knew each other, and that each had a history of drug use. Police also pointed out the three men shared similar interests.

Ontario Cold Cases - The Podcast: Upcoming Episode! Philip Rimington

Shortly before 8 a.m. on Thursday, February 10th, 1983, 42-year-old Philip Rimmington, Toronto’s deputy planning commissioner, was shot dead with a .22 handgun in the parking garage of the apartment building where he lived at 231 Balliol St., near Mt. Pleasant Rd. A nearby resident reported seeing a grey-haired man in his mid-50s fleeing the garage through a staircase at the northeast corner of the building shortly after the shooting. There were also reports that police had been called in weeks prior to the crime to investigate a stranger lurking around the parking area.
