Vanished at Niagara Falls: The Strange Death of Big Ed Delahanty (Trailer0

⚾ Vanished at Niagara Falls: The Strange Death of Big Ed Delahanty ⚾
He was one of baseball’s first great sluggers — a towering figure who hit for power and average, adored by fans and feared by pitchers. But in July of 1903, Ed “Big Ed” Delahanty stepped off a train near Niagara Falls… and vanished into the night.
Days later, his body was found battered beneath Horseshoe Falls, stripped of his valuables and shrouded in mystery.
Did he stumble to his death on the dark and dangerous International Railway Bridge?
Did despair drive him to leap into the river?
Or was he the victim of foul play, robbed and left to drown in the roaring waters?
More than a century later, the case remains unsolved — a haunting mystery where baseball history meets true crime.
Join me, Jay Nicoll of Nicoll Investigations, as we dive into one of the strangest disappearances in sports history:

Vanished at Niagara Falls: The Strange Death of Big Ed Delahanty coming this Tuesday, October 7th only on Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast.

Unveiling the Mystery of Benita Tarantino’s Murder

Unveiling the Mystery of Benita Tarantino’s Murder
A City Stalked by Shadows. A Killer Still at Large.
In the neon-lit streets of 1980s Toronto, a predator hunted the vulnerable, leaving a trail of unsolved murders that haunt the city to this day. Among them: 17-year-old Benita Tarantino, a troubled teen who vanished one night in 1985, just days after her engagement. Her body, found weeks later in a chilling tableau—clad in a single sock, propped against a tree—whispers of a sinister force. Was she the victim of a serial killer who preyed on sex trade workers, striking with terrifying precision on weekend nights?
In this heart-pounding episode of Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast, dive into Benita’s tragic story and the eerie connections to other unsolved slayings. From the chilling diary of convicted killer Gregory George Ashford, who mused, “Killing didn’t hurt as much as I thought,” to the shadowy actions of Daniel Harvey Atkinson, a man suspected in a string of violent crimes, the clues point to a predator—or predators—still uncaught. With insights from FBI serial killer expert John Douglas, this episode uncovers patterns that will send shivers down your spine.
Will the truth behind Benita’s murder ever be revealed? Subscribe to Ontario Cold Cases now and join the quest for justice. Tune in to unravel the mystery, hear exclusive details, and share your theories to keep these cases alive. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

Keswick Man Convicted in 2000 Belleville Sexual Assault After 25 Years

Keswick Man Convicted in 2000 Belleville Sexual Assault After 25 Years
A Predator’s Past Unearthed. A Survivor’s Justice Won.
For 25 years, a brutal crime haunted Belleville. A woman, attacked in the shadows of a bustling festival, endured a nightmare at the hands of a predator in a hotel change room. Beaten, assaulted, and robbed of her peace, she lived trapped in fear—her assailant a ghost, untouchable. Until now.
William Dale thought he’d escaped justice after the vicious 2000 assault. But a cigarette butt, a scrap of toilet paper, and a trail of DNA refused to let the truth die. When cutting-edge genetic genealogy cracked the case wide open, Belleville Police closed in, unmasking a monster hiding in plain sight. From a cold case to a courtroom, the relentless pursuit of Det. Const. Andrea Boulay and her father’s forensic legacy brought Dale to his knees.
As the victim’s heartrending words reveal a life scarred by trauma, Dale’s guilty plea can’t erase the pain—or the courage of a survivor ready to face her attacker. Sentenced to 12 years, his fate is sealed, but the echoes of that night linger.
Gripping and unforgettable, this is the story of a crime solved by science, a community’s resolve, and a woman’s unbreakable spirit. Justice delayed is not justice denied.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

The Brutal Slaying of Harold and Florence Fagan

The Brutal Slaying of Harold and Florence Fagan
A Cold Case That Still Grips Toronto
A Deadly Silence on Dewbourne Avenue
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?

The Unsolved Tragedy of the Airst Family

The Unsolved Tragedy of the Airst Family: A Chilling Triple Murder
A Blood-Soaked Mystery That Haunts Toronto
In the dead of a foggy September night in 1979, the Airst family—Ike, Celia, and their son Avrom—met a gruesome fate in their North York home. Bludgeoned to death with chilling precision, their blood-drenched bodies were discovered by their daughter, Simmie, in a scene that would scar Toronto’s history. No forced entry. No stolen valuables. Just a savage, personal rage that left $6,000 untouched and a family destroyed.
Who could have slipped into the Airsts’ private world to unleash such brutality? Was it tied to Ike’s controversial property empire, rumored to have crossed the Mafia? Or Celia’s fiery activism against Soviet oppression? The eerie parallels to the 1978 Fagan murders—another North York couple slain with excessive violence—hint at a deeper, darker connection. Yet, nearly three decades later, the killer remains a shadow, and the truth lies buried in a maze of unanswered questions.
Was it a betrayal from within? A calculated hit? Or a vengeful stranger who vanished into the fog?

The Unsolved Murder of Lisa Anstey

The Unsolved Murder of Lisa Anstey
A Murder Unsolved. A City in Shadows. A Truth Waiting to Be Uncovered.
In the gritty heart of Toronto’s underbelly, 21-year-old Lisa Anstey fought to survive. A First Nations mother of two, known as “Jemma” or “Terri,” she was a fierce spirit trapped in a world of addiction and danger, working the streets since age 11. On May 12, 1997, her life was brutally cut short. Found strangled in a dark laneway near the notorious Street City, her body bore the scars of trauma—and a missing shoe that hinted at a killer’s chilling motives. Was it a trophy? A careless mistake? Or a message?
Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast dives deep into Lisa’s unsolved murder, unraveling a web of secrets in a city plagued by violence against sex trade workers. With no witnesses in the chaotic homeless camp and a DNA profile—a white male with light eyes and blonde or red hair—leading nowhere, the case grows colder. Was it Peter Dale MacDonald, a known strangler linked to similar crimes? Or could it be the shadowy figure of a corrupt cop, K.L., rumored to prey on the very women he swore to protect?
Why was Lisa’s body moved to a bustling laneway? Who knew the streets well enough to vanish without a trace? As the podcast explores the haunting murders of nine other women in 1990s Toronto, one question burns: will justice ever find Lisa Anstey?

A Mother’s Tragic End - The Unsolved Murder of Sophie Filion

A Mother’s Tragic End - The Unsolved Murder of Sophie Filion
In the shadows of Ottawa’s streets, a mother’s desperate fight for her children ended in tragedy. Sophie Filion, a 23-year-old with wavy brown hair and a fierce love for her two young kids, was found strangled in December 1993, her body stuffed into garbage bags in a Westboro parking lot. Clad only in a slip, she had been left for days—a chilling echo of a killer’s cruelty. Was Sophie the victim of a random act, or one of many in a sinister pattern targeting Ottawa’s sex workers?
Last seen on November 15, 1993, leaving her Vanier home for the ByWard Market, Sophie stepped into a white delivery van near Kent and Laurier Streets, never to return. Despite police narrowing their focus to a single suspect, her killer remains free, and the question looms: Was a serial killer stalking the city’s most vulnerable? With possible links to the 1990 murder of 16-year-old Melinda Sheppit and a 2012 police warning of a deadly pattern, Sophie’s case holds clues that could unlock a decades-old mystery.

Unresolved: The Tragic Case of Melinda Sheppit

Unresolved: The Tragic Case of Melinda Sheppit 
A single snakeskin stiletto lies abandoned in an Ottawa parking lot. Beside a dumpster, the lifeless body of 16-year-old Melinda Sheppit tells a story of heartbreak and horror. Strangled and left for dead on September 30, 1990, the beautiful high school student had been drawn into a dangerous world, working the streets for just three weeks. Over three decades later, her murder remains unsolved—and the chilling question lingers: Was a serial killer hunting Ottawa’s most vulnerable?
In this gripping episode of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, we unravel the haunting mystery of Melinda’s death. Pregnant and trapped by a ruthless pimp, her life was spiraling. A psychological profile points to an introverted “night owl” killer, but no one has faced justice. As police hint at connections to other unsolved murders, including that of Sophie Filion, whispers of a predator still at large cast a shadow over the city.
