Part 2

He was the most popular Santa in the city. Parents stood in line for hours just so their children could sit on his lap. But while Bruce McArthur was checking his 'Naughty or Nice' list, he was hiding a graveyard in the gardens of Toronto’s elite.

​How does a man hide eight murders in plain sight for nearly a decade? The answer isn't found in the shadows, but in the most trusted places imaginable: a festive mall throne and a blooming flower planter.

​In this episode, we deconstruct the terrifying double life of Bruce McArthur—the "grandfatherly" landscaper who weaponized his own kindness to become Canada’s most prolific serial killer. We’re peeling back the "Santa" mask to reveal a predator who calculated that the world wouldn't look for a killer who looked like Saint Nick.

Bruce McArthur didn’t just hide behind a mask; he hid behind a legend. While he was actively stalking and murdering men in Toronto’s Gay Village, he spent his winters as a Santa Claus at the Agincourt Mall. He wasn't a man in a costume; he was a man who had transformed himself into a symbol of ultimate trust.

​How does a man become a pillar of his community while simultaneously becoming its greatest predator? This week, we explore the life and crimes of Bruce McArthur, the "Mall Santa" who terrorized Toronto’s Gay Village for nearly a decade. We go beyond the headlines to examine the "performance" of his normalcy, the systemic failures of "Project Houston," and the chilling forensic discovery at 53 Mallory Crescent.

But behind the closed doors of his Bayou Blue trailer, Ronald Dominique was something else entirely. This is the story of The Bayou Strangler—the man who murdered 23 men over a decade while police dismissed the victims as 'throwaways,' and the lone survivor who finally brought the most prolific serial killer you’ve never heard of to justice."
