In April of 2006, local authorities were called to the scene of a triple homicide in a family home on a quiet street in Medicine Hat, Alberta. When they realized the Richardson’s 12-year-old daughter was missing from the scene, police issued an Amber Alert. After uncovering some disturbing evidence, the girl quickly went from missing person to person of interest. Jasmine Richardson went down in history as Canada’s youngest convicted killer, and its Justice system’s biggest success story.
Writing and research by Angelina Villeseche.

The Keddie Cabin Murders

3 Recommendations

Send us a text

In 1980, single mother Sue Sharp escaped an abusive marriage and she and her five children moved from Connecticut to California to start afresh. The Keddie Cabin Resort, where the Sharps ultimately landed, was a one-time vacation destination turned low-income housing complex. Not long after the family settled in to cabin #28, it became the scene of a horrific multiple murder. It should have been an open-and-shut case, but after what seems to have been a deliberately botched investigation, the case went cold and remains unsolved today.

The Victims of Dorothea Puente

1 Recommendations

Send us a text

40 years ago, Dorothea Puente had everyone fooled into thinking she was a kindly grandmother. Friends, tenants at her boarding house, social workers and the police all bought her act. In reality, she was much younger than she appeared, and far from kind. Preying upon the elderly, unhoused people and alcoholics, Dorothea assumed no one would search very hard for her victims. For a while she seemed to be getting away with murder as well as fraud. Thanks to one passionate social worker Puente was eventually exposed, and the friends and families of her 9 victims were able to get some closure.
