017 Hiding In Plain Sight: The Crimes of Bruce McArthur
For nearly a decade, Bruce McArthur operated in the heart of Toronto’s Gay Village, preying on vulnerable men while evading justice. Despite growing concerns from the LGBTQ+ community, it took years before police connected the disappearances and finally caught the city’s most infamous serial killer. How did McArthur stay under the radar for so long? What warning signs were missed? And what finally led to his arrest?
In this episode, we break down the full case—from the disappearances to the investigation, the shocking discoveries, and the lasting impact on Toronto’s LGBTQ+ community.
Plus, in our Current Case segment, we discuss a troubling issue closer to home: how the Niagara Regional Police handle hate speech complaints. Are they taking them seriously, or is there more work to be done?
Listen now, and let’s talk about it.
