Vanished & Forgotten: The Lost Women of Hamilton - Susan Gourley, Felicia Floriani and Project Advocate (Trailer)
03/14/25 • 2 min
Coming This Sunday, March 16 – Only on Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast
🔎 Three women vanished. One was found murdered. One was lost for a decade before her bones were uncovered in a farmer’s field. The third? Still missing. And the killer? Never brought to justice.
Last week, we explored the chilling murder of Kimlyn Tolgyes, a 19-year-old sex worker found decomposing near a Burlington park in 2002. Police believed she wasn’t the first victim.
This week, we take you deeper into the darkness.
🕵️♂️ Susan Gourley disappeared in 2001. She was never seen again.
💀 Felicia Floriani was just 15 years old when she vanished in 2002. Her remains were discovered a decade later in a remote field.
🚨 Project Advocate—the police task force dedicated to catching a predator—followed 800 tips, investigated 150 suspects, and made two key arrests.
But no one was ever charged with murder of these three ladies.
Did Hamilton’s most vulnerable women fall victim to a lone serial killer? Or were there multiple predators hunting the city’s streets?
And the biggest question of all—
Did the killing stop? Or is the murderer still out there?
🎙️ Join us this Sunday, March 16, as we unravel one of Ontario’s most chilling cold cases.

Texas' Lost Girls – The Unsolved Case of the Fort Worth Trio
Texas' Lost Girls – The Unsolved Case of the Fort Worth Trio
Three girls. One holiday shopping trip. A mystery that has haunted Texas for half a century.
On December 23, 1974, seventeen-year-old Rachel Trlica, fourteen-year-old Lisa Renee
Wilson, and nine-year-old Julie Ann Moseley set off on what should have been a routine trip to the mall. With Christmas just two days away, the air was filled with holiday cheer, the sound of festive music, and the rush of last-minute shoppers.
But before the day ended, the three girls vanished without a trace.
Their car—a 1972 Oldsmobile 98—was found abandoned in the upper-level Sears parking lot, its doors locked. No sign of a struggle. No clues to where they had gone. Then, on Christmas Eve, a letter arrived, allegedly from Rachel, claiming they had run away.
But something about the letter was wrong.
Over the years, the case twisted and turned with chilling developments—cryptic sightings, ominous leads, and a private investigator who took his secrets to the grave. Witnesses reported seeing the girls with an unknown individual before they disappeared. Who was this person? Did they leave willingly? Were they taken?
Now, 50 years later, the truth remains elusive. Their families refuse to give up. Investigators still search for answers. And somewhere out there, someone knows what really happened.
Texas' Lost Girls is a gripping true crime investigation that dives deep into one of the Lone Star State’s most enduring mysteries—a case that remains unsolved, a tragedy that refuses to be forgotten.
The past never stays buried. Will the truth finally come to light?

Vanished & Forgotten: The Lost Women of Hamilton (Part 2) Susan Gourley, Felicia Floriani and Project Advocate
📖 A True Crime Story of Murder, Mystery, and a Case That Went Cold
Three women vanished. One was found murdered. One was lost for a decade before her remains surfaced in a farmer’s field. The third? Still missing.
And the predator responsible? Never brought to justice.
Hamilton in the early 2000s was a city under siege. Susan Gourley disappeared in 2001 and was never seen again. Fifteen-year-old Felicia Floriani vanished in 2002, her body discovered ten years later. Kimlyn Tolgyes was found murdered, her killer never identified.
Were these crimes the work of a single, shadowy serial killer? Or were multiple predators hunting the city’s most vulnerable women?
In Vanished & Forgotten, Ontario Cold Cases – Canada’s True Crime Podcast unravels a chilling mystery—one that led police to form Project Advocate, a multi-jurisdictional task force that chased down 800 leads, investigated 150 suspects, and made two key arrests.
But then—just as suddenly as it began—the task force was shut down. No murder charges were ever laid. No justice was ever served.
🔎 How close did investigators come to catching a killer? 🔎 Was a murderer hiding in plain sight? 🔎 And, most terrifying of all—did the killing stop? Or is the predator still out there?
🎧 Join us on Ontario Cold Cases – Canada’s True Crime Podcast, as we uncover the truth behind Hamilton’s lost women.
Because some cases go cold... but they are never forgotten.
