Ancaster's Unanswered Shot: The Murder of Carman Ward
A quiet suburban Christmas shattered. A father gunned down in his own home. And a mystery that has haunted a community for nearly a decade.
On a cold December night in 2015, two frantic 911 calls pierced the peaceful calm of Ancaster, Ontario. Inside, Carman "Bud" Ward, a 60-year-old father with a black belt in jiu-jitsu, was fighting for his life and the lives of his sons, Joshua and Brandon, against two masked invaders. He was shot, tragically succumbing to his injuries, while his son Brandon suffered cuts to his head from a bladed weapon.
Join Jay Nicoll of Nicoll Investigations as Ontario Cold Cases delves into this chilling unsolved murder. Was it a drug deal gone wrong, or were the masked assailants after something else entirely, like the casino winnings Bud had recently celebrated? Police believe the attack was targeted, yet the motive remains elusive.
With two suspects described as slim, one around six feet tall and the other five-foot-six, both wearing dark, uniform clothing and gloves, the clues are agonizingly few. But one vital detail stands out: one of the attackers may have sustained facial injuries during the violent struggle. Could security footage of a light silver/grey extended cab pickup truck hold the key to a potential third accomplice?
Years have passed, but the Hamilton Police remain committed. Someone, somewhere, knows what happened on Miller Drive that night.
Listen now to "Ancaster's Unanswered Shot" and help us bring justice to Carman Ward.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

Ancaster's Unanswered Shot: The Murder of Carman Ward, coming this Sunday, August 10th:
It’s just days before Christmas. The quiet, peaceful streets of Ancaster, Ontario. Then, a sudden, brutal home invasion.
Two separate males inside the home were reporting a terrifying home invasion... Their father, Carman Ward, had been shot.
On December 21st, 2015, 60-year-old Carman "Bud" Ward, a man with a black belt in jiu-jitsu, fought to protect his sons from masked intruders. But in the chaos, a single shot rang out, silencing him forever.
This was no random act. Police say it was a targeted attack. But why Carman Ward? Was it about the drugs found on the property, or the casino winnings he'd recently celebrated?
Two masked men, one possibly injured in the face, armed with a handgun and a brutal bladed weapon, left a family shattered and a community in fear. And security footage reveals a mysterious silver pickup truck... was there a third accomplice?
Years have now passed... and despite ongoing efforts, no arrests have been made.
Join myself, Jay Nicoll of Nicoll Investigations as Ontario Cold Cases revisits the chilling details of a murder that remains unanswered.
Can you help us uncover the truth?
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

A Scream in West Cork - The Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier (Part 2)

A Scream in West CorkThe Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier (Part 2)
The Killer's Shadow Emerges. Or Does It?
The brutal murder of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier shattered the serene beauty of West Cork. As local Gardaí grappled with a compromised crime scene and the quiet community reeled, a new and unsettling figure begins to dominate the investigation.
In Part 2, we delve into the crucial early witness accounts: the farmer who saw a man near Sophie's cottage in the dead of night, and the local shopkeeper whose shifting testimony would become a lightning rod for controversy. But it's the strange, almost theatrical presence of Ian Bailey, a British freelance journalist, that casts the longest shadow.
Why did Bailey seem to know details of the murder before they were publicly released? Why did he have suspicious cuts and scratches, offering shifting explanations for their origin? And why would a man allegedly confess to such a horrific crime, only to vehemently deny it for decades?
Join us as the focus of the Garda investigation narrows, and the whispers of West Cork begin to coalesce around one compelling, enigmatic, and deeply unsettling character. His story, intertwined with Sophie's tragic end, is a testament to the complexities of truth and suspicion in an unsolved case.
The hunt for Sophie's killer intensifies, but is the truth as clear as it seems? In Part 3, s the Gardaí's focus sharpens on Bailey, the next challenge will be to secure concrete evidence, navigate legal complexities, and contend with the growing international interest in this perplexing case.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

The Lighthouse Job
A Mick & Mack Mystery
There are places on the map where the light’s always been more suggestion than promise—windswept shores, lonely harbors, and crumbling towers whose lanterns once guided ships through fog as thick as fate.
And sometimes, when that light goes out, it’s not the bulb that’s broken… it’s the story behind it.
When Toronto harbor patrol shrugs off a darkened lighthouse east of the city, one man refuses to ignore it. Declan “Brick” Malloy—retired military sergeant, waterfront legend, and the loudest thing in any pub—knows something is wrong at Point Stoddart.
But getting to the truth will take more than guts and gumption. It’ll take Mick McCathie, Mack MacNeely, and a boat that probably leaks.
Smugglers. Silence. Storms. And a keeper who may not want to be found.
Welcome to The Lighthouse Job—a mystery soaked in fog, brine, and secrets better left submerged.

The Final Chapter of a City’s Resilience in The Gardener’s Grim Harvest: The Bruce McArthur Story
In Toronto’s Gay Village, a community once defined by joy and sanctuary was left shattered. Bruce McArthur, a trusted landscaper, betrayed those who welcomed him, stealing eight lives—Skandaraj Navaratnam, Abdulbasir Faizi, Majeed Kayhan, Soroush Mahmudi, Kirushna Kumar Kanagaratnam, Dean Lisowick, Selim Esen, and Andrew Kinsman—and hiding their remains in the soil he tended. His arrest and conviction brought a measure of justice, but the wounds he inflicted lingered, challenging a community to rebuild from grief.
In the gripping finale of The Gardener’s Grim Harvest: The Bruce McArthur Story, Episode 3 of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast explores the profound aftermath and enduring legacy of this chilling case. Host Jay Nicoll,guides listeners through the Gay Village’s journey from shock to healing, the families’ unyielding strength, and the lessons that resonate far beyond Toronto. This is a story of resilience, accountability, and the fight to honor those lost.
A Community Reborn
When McArthur’s crimes were exposed, the Gay Village faced a reckoning. Bars grew quiet, trust in police crumbled, and fear lingered. Yet, from this pain rose action: candlelit vigils, vibrant murals, and a renewed resolve to reclaim the Village’s spirit. The 2019 Epstein review exposed systemic biases, sparking reforms like the Toronto Police’s Missing Persons Unit—a bittersweet victory born from tragedy. Through it all, the community’s unbreakable spirit shone, proving that McArthur’s darkness could not define them.
Lives Remembered, Lessons Learned
The human toll of McArthur’s crimes echoes in the stories of those left behind: a wife raising daughters alone, a brother mourning a life cut short, friends reciting poetry under lantern light. Memorials and vigils keep the victims’ names alive, a testament to a community’s promise: “You are not forgotten.” This case, akin to Canada’s darkest true crime sagas, underscores the need for police accountability, community vigilance, and protection for the vulnerable—lessons that continue to shape cold case investigations.

The Unsolved Murder of Karen Woodcock
On a quiet summer morning in 1973, a mother of seven with a new college diploma and dreams of a fresh start vanished into the pre-dawn hours of Peterborough, Ontario. Just a few hours later, her nude body was found on a rural road—beaten, left to be discovered, but with no blood at the scene and no sign of the sexual assault or robbery one might expect.
Her last hours are a fragmented puzzle of drinking, transient movements, and a mysterious phone call. A crime that appears personal, controlled, and deeply malicious, it has haunted the community for over five decades. Who was the last person to see Karen Woodcock alive? And what hidden motive lies behind a murder so baffling that it continues to defy justice?
Join private investigator Jay Nicoll on Ontario Cold Cases - Canada's True Crime Podcast as he peels back the layers of this unsolved mystery, seeking the truth for a family shattered by a crime where the only thing clearer than the brutality is the enduring silence.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

(Part 1) A Scream in West CorkThe Murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier
She sought solace. She found terror.
In the tranquil, wild beauty of West Cork, Ireland, French film producer Sophie Toscan du Plantier found her idyllic escape. A place for peace, for writing, for quiet contemplation amidst the rugged landscape. But on the cold morning of December 23, 1996, that serene dream shattered into a horrifying nightmare.
Discovered brutalized in her own laneway, dressed in nightwear, Sophie's murder plunged a quiet community into shock and ignited a decades-long international mystery. Who would commit such a savage act in such a remote haven?
Join us as we journey to the very beginning of this perplexing cold case. We delve into Sophie's life, her connection to Ireland, and the harrowing discovery that launched a major homicide investigation. From the initial, frantic calls to the critical challenges faced by local Gardaí, the scene quickly became a battleground of lost time and compromised evidence.
Witness the early, desperate search for answers as police grapple with an unprecedented crime, battling the elements and the clock. Every step, every overlooked detail, every critical decision in those first crucial hours would set the stage for a saga of suspicion, frustration, and a truth that remains stubbornly out of reach.
The beautiful facade of West Cork hid a chilling secret. Now, we begin to uncover it.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

Murder on the Island Ferry
A Mick & Mack Mysteries Novel
She boarded the ferry. She never made it to shore.
When a woman vanishes during a routine ferry crossing to Toronto’s Ward’s Island and later washes up drowned near Snake Island, it looks like a tragic accident—until the bruises tell a different story.
Jeanette Everly wasn’t just a quiet island resident—she was a voice of resistance, rallying her community against powerful forces trying to buy up their homes and pave over their peace. And someone wanted that voice silenced.
Detectives Mick McCathie and Mack MacNeely are sent to investigate, but what begins as a simple case of foul play soon unravels into a tangled web of land grabs, forged signatures, and hidden alliances. From cranky dockmasters to retired nuns, slick developers to spurned lovers, everyone on the island has something to hide—and someone to protect.
As Mick navigates a storm of secrets and Mack battles seasickness and sandwich deprivation, the detectives must piece together the truth before the next ferry carries away the final clue… or the next victim.
Set against the eerie calm of Toronto’s island community, Murder on the Island Ferry is a sharp, witty, and atmospheric mystery—where the water may be still, but danger runs deep.
Hop aboard. But keep an eye on the rail. Not everyone disembarks.

Uncover the Hunt for a Killer in “The Gardener’s Grim Harvest: The Bruce McArthur Story”
Episode 2: Investigation and Trial
In the shadowed streets of Toronto’s Gay Village, a community gripped by fear demanded answers. Eight men—Skandaraj Navaratnam, Abdulbasir Faizi, Majeed Kayhan, Soroush Mahmudi, Kirushna Kumar Kanagaratnam, Dean Lisowick, Selim Esen, and Andrew Kinsman—had vanished, their faces haunting posters and whispered conversations. Behind the disappearances lurked Bruce McArthur, a landscaper whose tools of trade concealed a gruesome secret: the remains of his victims, buried in the very soil he tended.
In Episode 2 of The Gardener’s Grim Harvest: The Bruce McArthur Story, host Jay Nicoll of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast takes you inside the investigation that unmasked a monster and the trial that delivered a bittersweet reckoning. From missed clues to a dramatic arrest, this episode unveils the relentless pursuit of justice—and the systemic failures that let a killer roam free for years.
A Community’s Cry Ignites a HuntWhen whispers of a serial killer grew too loud to ignore, the Gay Village’s resolve forced police to act. The investigation, marred by early missteps, gained momentum with the 2017 disappearance of Andrew Kinsman, whose calendar held a chilling clue: a meeting with “Bruce.” Surveillance, forensic breakthroughs, and a race against time led to McArthur’s arrest—narrowly saving a potential ninth victim. The discovery of remains in planters and a trove of horrific evidence revealed the true scope of his crimes, shaking Toronto to its core.
A Courtroom’s Heavy SilenceIn January 2019, McArthur faced justice, his guilty plea to eight counts of first-degree murder sparing families a grueling trial but not the pain of his atrocities. The courtroom brimmed with grief as evidence of his methodical cruelty—staged photos, twisted keepsakes—came to light. Justice John McMahon branded the crimes “pure evil,” sentencing McArthur to life with no parole for 25 years. Yet, for the families and a wounded community, the victory was tinged with the ache of justice delayed.
Join Jay Nicoll as he unravels this gripping chapter of a predator’s downfall. With vivid storytelling and a seasoned investigator’s insight, Episode 2 of The Gardener’s Grim Harvest exposes the flaws that prolonged a killer’s reign and the resilience that brought him down. Tune in to Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast to hear the full story, available wherever you get your podcasts.
