    A family member of Christopher Adair reaches out to set the record straight. But their story opens up another possibility: could the key to Lisa Marie Young’s disappearance lie in the backwoods around Coombs? Then, geographic profiler Douglas MacGregor explains how an offender’s behaviour and familiarity with the territory might help narrow the search for Lisa more than two decades later.


    Note: The statements and allegations about Christopher Adair discussed in this episode are unproven and have not been tested in court. Christopher Adair has not been charged in connection with the disappearance of Lisa Marie Young, and no finding of legal responsibility has been made against him in relation to her disappearance. Any theories, opinions or inferences expressed are attributed to their respective sources and should not be understood as findings of fact. Lisa Marie Young’s disappearance remains unresolved.

    After months of searching, the police file on the 1959 murders of Curly and Lizzie Kostyniuk has finally arrived, but it's not what Shauna and I hoped for. Over 100 pages of heavily redacted administrative paperwork instead of the real investigative file. Still, buried inside: new names, hints of an undercover operation, and a suspect who may have still been alive years later.


    Retired RCMP homicide detective Garry Rodgers joins host Laura Palmer to break down the crime scene, the killer's behaviour, and why this case may not be as cold as it seems.

    A double murder. A robbery motive that doesn't add up. And a family theory that's been passed down in whispers for decades.

    In this episode, host Laura Palmer digs into the suspect, Shauna's family calls "Bad Grandpa" Joseph Charles Phillips, a convicted predator with a grudge, a motive, and, according to someone who knew him, sudden money after the killings. Through long-buried psychiatric records, jailhouse letters, and a remarkable conversation with an 85-year-old who knew both the victims and the suspect, the story of who may have killed Andrew "Curly" and Lizzie Kostyniuk comes into sharper focus.

    In the summer of 1959, Andrew and Elizabeth Kostyniuk, known to everyone in South Wellington, BC, as Curly and Lizzie, were stabbed to death in their own home. The case was never solved, and for 67 years, their names faded into silence.


    Now, their great-great-granddaughter, Shauna, has asked host Laura Palmer to take on her coldest case yet. In this first episode, Laura travels to South Wellington to learn about the world Curly and Lizzie lived in, a quiet, close-knit Vancouver Island community where doors were left unlocked, and everyone knew everyone's business. On the night of June 26th, Curly heads to the local store to watch a world heavyweight championship fight. Lizzie walks home alone. It's the last time they see each other alive.


    Was this a robbery gone wrong or something far more personal?

    This episode contains mature themes and content related to domestic abuse, which some listeners may find disturbing or triggering. Please take care while listening.


    Three weeks after Bree’s murder, police descended on the home she once shared with her boyfriend, Darren. TV news cameras rolled as Darren appeared outside in handcuffs, his knees pressed to the pavement. To friends, Bree had once described Darren as her soul mate. Their relationship had stretched over years; tumultuous, breaking apart, then coming back together again. Several friends and relatives told me Bree had confided in them about abuse behind closed doors.


    There is no public record of any formal charges, and Darren did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The allegations have not been tested in court, and no one has been charged in connection with Bree’s death.

    How does a restless, hard-partying city girl end up on Vancouver Island? And how does her fiery temperament shape her most profound relationships?

    Bree Gamble was known for her passion, fearlessness, and vibrant energy—a woman who seemed to live life in full colour until her tragic murder in 2021. The daughter of acclaimed Colombian filmmaker Jorge Lozano, Bree carried her Latin roots and artistic identity through everything she did. Central to her story is the rumbero spirit—a distinctly Colombian way of embracing joy and music even amid hardship.

    In this episode, I explore how that spirit shaped Bree — and how her early experiences and her culture influenced the choices she made in the time leading up to her murder.

    How does a woman described as exotic, vibrant, and passionate end up murdered—her body abandoned near an oceanside park? What secrets does the crime scene hold about who killed Bree Gamble, and why? This season of Island Crime opens at Beacon Hill Park, the crown jewel of Victoria’s parks—and home to dozens of peacocks. When I first visited the scene, they were everywhere: striking, untamed, impossible to ignore. In her too-short life, Bree Gamble seemed to share their restless beauty. Those who knew her say she was searching—for something, or someone—always just out of reach. The peacock, long seen as a symbol of immortality and the soul’s quest for enlightenment, becomes both metaphor and wish in this story.

    In the early hours of March 3rd, 2021, a woman named Bree Gamble (Lozano) is found unresponsive on the grass near Dallas Road in Victoria. Despite CPR attempts, she is pronounced dead. Police describe the scene as 'oddly clean,' but at first, no foul play is suspected. But then, less than a week later, her death is ruled a homicide. Bree is a mum, a singer and an artist. She is a waiter at high-end resorts and restaurants. She is striking, vibrant and unforgettable. Bree's murder remains unsolved, and four years later, her loved ones still seek answers. Island Crime Season 8 delves into the life, legacy, and unresolved questions surrounding Bree's murder. The first full episode drops on Friday, October 31st.

    The Victoria police say the brown van tip was their best lead when Michael Dunahee was taken. But over the years, questions have been raised about the reliability of the child witness who first reports seeing the brown van. Tim Barron also witnessed a brown van that day. He told police what he saw and has been interviewed by them many times down the years. But this is the first time he has shared his story publicly. The brown van tip is complicated. Vehicle identification has come a long way since 1991. So this episode is also informed by two vehicle identification experts.


    Note: Since publishing the episode, I have now spoken with the owner of the black van that Tim Barron knew. That vehicle was a 1963 Volkswagen. It was not lowered. And to be clear, his van was not in the vicinity that day. I've updated the podcast to reflect this new information.

    'The ultimate act of control. I killed you, but nobody knows where you are' -Tad Dibiase, Author of No Body Homicide Cases.


    No body, no crime. Right now, on Vancouver Island, I know of several missing person cases which I am reasonably certain are homicides. But in the absence of a body, I appreciate that it is challenging for police to lay charges. But it's not impossible.


    Thomas A. (Tad) Dibiase has been studying consulting and writing about no-body murder cases for close to 20 years. He got started as a prosecutor in the US Attorney's Office in DC. He is the author of No-Body Homicide Cases:   A Practical Guide to Investigating, Prosecuting and Winning Cases When the Victim is Missing. In this episode, I speak with Tad about the challenges of finding justice when you can't find a body, and I ask him to reflect on Lisa Marie Young's case.

    It's been almost five years since the Nanaimo RCMP first sat down with me to discuss Lisa Marie Young's disappearance. Now, there's a new lead on the case. In this episode, I get an update from outgoing lead Corporal Markus Muntener and introduce you to the new investigative lead on the case, RCMP Constable Hayley Pinfold.


    If you have information about Lisa's disappearance, it is never too late to do the next right thing. Call the RCMP at 250-754-2345.


    Please note. This episode begins with tape recorded outside at the tree planting for Lisa Marie Young. It was a windy day, and the audio isn't great. So I've kept it brief, including only short clips from Lisa's grandpa Moses Martin and Nanaimo Mayor Leonard Krog.
