In this episode of pplpod, we examine the chilling case of the 2010–2017 Toronto serial homicides, where eight men disappeared from the Church and Wellesley LGBTQ village. We profile the perpetrator, Bruce McArthur, a 66-year-old self-employed landscaper and seasonal mall Santa Claus, who eventually became the oldest known serial killer in Canadian history.

Join us as we discuss:

• The Victims: How McArthur targeted men—mostly of South Asian or Middle Eastern descent—who had ties to the gay village, often exploiting vulnerabilities such as the need for secrecy regarding their sexuality.

• The Investigation: The evolution from "Project Houston" to "Project Prism," and how a lead involving a missing man’s calendar entry and a distinct Dodge Caravan finally led police to McArthur.
