Over 200 episodes, Canadian True Crime has become Canada’s top independent podcast.


From the snowy streets of small-town Canada to the darkest corners of the big cities, join Aussie-Canadian host Kristi Lee for an immersive deep dive into the nation's most compelling crimes.


With meticulous research and a trauma-informed approach, Kristi takes you beyond the headlines, weaving the facts of each case together with the bigger picture to unravel what happened, the forces that shaped it — and the impact to those left behind.


Canadian True Crime has remained a completely independent production since 2017, funded mainly through advertising and thanks to listeners like you. We engage in victim advocacy and give back monthly to those facing injustice. You can support our work while also listening ad-free and early on our premium feeds.

  • The Twisted Story of Sergeant John Wilson [replay]
    Mar 13 2026

    A gripping, action-packed miniseries about a mountie who finds himself at the centre of a sordid love triangle.


    Pieced together from a treasure trove of real love letters, forged letters and police and court memos, this series paints a vivid snapshot of Canada as World War I raged on.


    This two-part series is a carefully selected replay from our archive, and was originally titled The Murderous Mountie. Part 2 available tomorrow. We'll be back with new episodes in April.

  • Quick update: new episodes return in April
    Mar 12 2026

    A quick update and some thanks!


    Over the past 12 months... Canadian True Crime has had the opportunity to take on several meaningful projects alongside the usual podcast production. These included the CBC documentary Breaking Idol, the co-founding of Beyond The Verdict survivor-led advocacy group, and in-depth coverage of the 2025 Hockey Canada trial. While incredibly rewarding, the extra activities made for a very intense year behind the scenes. After the recent Robert Pickton series ended, it became clear we needed to pause, step back and reset things.

    Your support by listening to the podcast is what makes all of this work possible, so this year we're focusing on getting the podcast back into balance for sustainability.


    New episodes will return in April. Until then, we'll be replaying a few carefully selected episodes from our archive with new personal introductions from Kristi.

    Thank you again for listening and supporting the show! Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
