Introducing Suspicion Season 3, 40 Years...

TORONTO STAR
About this episode

On Monday, June 17, the Toronto Star's crime podcast Suspicion launches Season 3, "40 Years Cold."

In 1983, two women – Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour – were killed in their Toronto homes. Despite their efforts, police couldn’t trace any leads and the cases went cold. Then, nearly four decades later, science changed the way police close in on a killer.

In this season of Suspicion, Toronto Star crime reporter Wendy Gillis and court reporter Betsy Powell take you through the nights of the murders, the history that led to them, the science that changed policing, and the stunning conclusion of a decades-long cold case.

Toronto Star subscribers will also get exclusive early access to all episodes on June 17. Non subscribers will get new episodes each Monday. If you are not a Star subscriber, please visit thestar.com/subscribe

Suspicion seasons 1 and 2, "Death in a Small Town" and “The Billionaire Murders: The hunt for the killers of Honey and Barry Sherman,” were hosted by Kevin Donovan are available in this feed.
