Episode Date: June 5, 2024

On Monday, June 17, the Toronto Star's crime podcast Suspicion launches Season 3, "40 Years Cold." In 1983, two women – Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour – were killed in their Toronto homes. Despite their efforts, police couldn’t trace any leads and the cases went cold. Then, nearly four decades later, science changed the way police close in on a killer. In this season of Suspicion, Toronto Star crime reporter Wendy Gillis and court reporter Betsy Powell take you through the nights of the murders, the history that led to them, the science that changed policing, and the stunning conclusion of a decades-long cold case.

Despite their efforts, police couldn't trace any leads, and the cases went cold. This whole thing taught me that men are predators. That sex is a weapon. That you're not safe. Nearly 40 years later, science changed the way police close in on a killer.

Police-wise, he's just completely off anyone's radar. Then came a twist that no one saw coming. He says, I've done some things I'm not very proud of. I'm Toronto Star crime reporter Wendy Gillis.
