Peter John Peters has gone by many names. In the late eighties London, Ontario, locals knew him as the Tattoo Man. After his sadistic 1990 crime spree he should have become something more permanent. A dead man.

But this is Canada. So now, in his mid-sixties, he’s already back out there… under his new name. John Ross Cody.

London, Ontario, Canada had the highest concentration of serial murder back in the seventies… though I doubt many people know that.

This episode’s subject, from that time and place, certainly wouldn’t ring a bell. He would, however, climb up to your balcony and walk in through an open door.

Archibald Thomson Hall, eventually known as Roy Fontaine, changed his name to better suit the world of butlery—which was a touch odd… given that “Archibald” sounds far more like a butler’s name than “Roy.” Then again, making a mess of things was exactly what the “Monster Butler” was best at.

In 1947, the body of Elizabeth Short was discovered in a vacant Los Angeles lot. The press dubbed her the Black Dahlia, and her murder became one of the most infamous unsolved cases in American history.

Broken: The Black Dahlia Murder reveals who Elizabeth Short was, the shocking details of her murder, and the search for her killer. Along the way, we uncover the facts, the rumors, and the pieces of history that time t...

From 2009 through 2013, Pitch Pine Crescent of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, would be visited by investigators reviewing a sudden, suspicious death. It wasn’t the streets fault, it was the nicest house of the affluent area that continued to summon investigators. Three calls of potential murder was what it took  to finally send the message that something was very wrong here.
