Just days away from a family Easter dinner in 2019, a young single mom and her 22-month-old daughter disappeared.

Imagine there’s banging on your door. What you don’t realize is that the person on the other side of the door has a gun. For residents of a Vaughan condo building, just north of Toronto, it was a night that changed their lives forever in one of Canada’s worst mass shootings. Reporter Catherine McDonald covered the story back in 2022 and spoke with the only shooting victim who survived, along with her husband who fought off the gunman. She returns now to meet the first responders who helped save their lives.

In October 2006, pregnant mother and schoolteacher Manjit Panghali left a yoga class in Surrey, BC, and was never seen again.

Join reporter Christa Dao as she reveals how, without a smoking gun, investigators worked tirelessly to piece together enough evidence to find her killer.

So during COVID, when it’s discovered that she’s been dead in her apartment for days, fellow residents are distraught. 48 hours later, that distress turns to fear when the autopsy reveals she’s been murdered in a horrifically violent way. Who would do such a thing – and more importantly – how did they gain access to her 8th floor apartment?

Schools were abuzz with gossip that someone had been murdered but there was no body and only rumours to go on. Join reporter Christa Dao as she shares how investigators deciphered fact from fiction and revealed ruthlessness and evil in teen girls, unfathomable at the time.
