42. The Barrie Murders

In 1993, the quiet town of Barrie, Ontario was hit with a weekend of absolute chaos: a taxi driver stabbed to death, a triple homicide at a deacon’s house, and an investigation that went very sideways. In this episode, Cameron and Hayden break down how police chased the wrong suspect, hypnotized a witness, and almost missed the real killer—who’d been right in front of them the whole time.
