    2 - Tim Masters
    Sep 20 2024
    Tim Masters was only a fourteen-year-old boy when he walked by a dead body in a field. Thinking it was a prank, he thought nothing of it. Join Kylie as she recounts to you and Rory the story she spent months lost in. There was no way Tim Masters should’ve even been remotely a suspect but the police were stubborn in their convictions.

    Apr 21 2023
    In the season finale of A Whole Life Later, Kylie tells you about the other stories she came across while researching Connie Oakes' story. Alberta has a scary history of greatly mitreating indigneous peoples within the justice system. These two stories are just drops in the barrel. Alberta needs to do better.

    5.1 - Not Everyone Can Be Sherlock Holmes
    Oct 14 2022
    Sometimes your gut is right, other times you may just have indigestion (you should probably get that checked out). This week, Rory takes us through the journey of a key investigator in Darlie's case, someone whose "expertise" should have been taken with a grain of salt.


    Were you looking for sources? Me too, blame Rory.
