Welcome, dear listeners, to another tale of murder, scandal and crime from Mississauga’s darker side.
In today’s case, the destinies of two strangers, born oceans apart, collide in a chance meeting. They walk a shared, crooked path that reaches its violent climax on Christmas night.
In the bleak mid-winter, on a midnight clear, a shotgun blast breaks through the silence of the night.
