A brief update, with our apologies.

Despite our best efforts to return with new episodes by the end of April, we need some additional time due to some behind-the-scenes challenges beyond our control.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. As always, Canadian True Crime remains committed to presenting these cases with accuracy, care, depth and context.

Please be assured that new episodes are on the way and we’re really excited to be able to share them with you soon.
