Ten gripping tales of murder and missing persons show how skulls and skeletons reveal their secrets to forensic investigators. A skull is found on a scree slope high above the mirror-calm waters of Spray Lakes. Bones rumoured for years to be buried in a Medicine Hat backyard are finally dug up. The trussed and tortured skeletal remains of an unknown man are found in a septic tank near Tofield. These baffling Alberta cases show how dogged, old-fashioned detective work combines with modern forensic techniques in the search for the truth.

These eight true tales explore the dark side of 20th-century prairie history. A Saskatchewan farmhouse is burned to the ground to conceal the brutal murders of a family of seven.

British Columbia Murders

Susan McNicoll digs deep in the police files to tell the dramatic tales of British Columbia's most notorious murders. In July 1924, Scottish nursemaid Janet Smith was murdered in Vancouver's wealthy Shaughnessy Heights. Her killer was never apprehended, but the investigation exposed police corruption and the ugly undercurrent of racism. In the mid-1940s, 15-year-old Molly Justice was stabbed to death in a Saanich park as she walked home one evening. The murderer was never charged, even though police were virtually certain of his identity for more than 50 years. In the 1960s, a well-known Vancouver radio personality slowly poisoned his wife with arsenic. What led him to commit such a horrendous crime? Susan has chosen stories that span a century of crime, from a 1904 murder in a Victoria Chinatown theater to a modern cold case from Vernon solved through an unusual DNA analysis. These intriguing cases show that securing justice is not always easy.
