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: A Chilling Triple Murder

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?
Tune in to Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast for a heart-pounding journey into this unsolved mystery. Subscribe now to never miss an episode, and join the discussion to help uncover the truth. Available now—links in the show notes. Don’t let Lisa’s story fade into the shadows.

The Triple Slaying of the Airst Family and the Fagans

The Triple Slaying of the Airst Family and the Fagans
Two Families. Two Crimes. One Killer—or Two?
On September 30th, 1979, three members of the Airst family were found brutally beaten to death inside their quiet North York home. Ike, Celia, and their son Avrom had been attacked with unimaginable violence. There was no forced entry. No robbery. No suspects. No answers.
Just 18 months earlier and only 1.5 km away, Harold and Florence Fagan were executed in their upscale Dewbourne Avenue home. They too were well-known. They too were targeted inside their sanctuary. And again—no forced entry, no strangers, and no clear motive.
Were these murders political? Personal? Or connected by something darker?
We examine the evidence, rumors, suspects, and the families left behind. Two brutal crimes. Two prominent families. And a community still haunted decades later.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

The Triple Slaying of the Airst Family and the Fagans
Two Families. Two Crimes. One Killer—or Two?
In the fall of 1979, a daughter walked into her family home and found three loved ones murdered. No forced entry. No weapon. No suspects. Just eighteen months earlier, another couple was killed in the same neighbourhood, also without a sign of break-in. The police ruled the cases separate. But the similarities are too chilling to ignore. The Airsts and the Fagans—two families, two brutal crimes, and decades of unanswered questions. Were these killings personal? Political? Or the work of the same hand? Join us as we examine the evidence, theories, and the disturbing coincidences.

Killer in Uniform? The Cop Suspect - The Murder of Lisa Anstey

The Murder of Lisa Anstey
Killer in Uniform? The Cop Suspect
Police had the killer's DNA profile and suspected serial killer Peter Dale MacDonald—but the DNA didn't match.
The street workers had a different suspect: a cop, K.L., known to use his position to threaten and assault the girls he was supposed to protect.
One victim told me: 'If you didn't fight him you'd be okay.' Was Lisa's "scrapper" attitude the reason she died? We investigate.
Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

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.

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.
