This compilation moves through Canada's coldest files - murders, disappearances, mysteries investigators still quietly discuss - without pretending any of them are settled. 🔎

Read excerpt
December 14, 1981. A 14-year-old girl in St. John's raises her hand for a bus, then sticks out her thumb instead.
