CBC
About this episode

It’s the summer of 1981 and the RCMP have their sights set on Clifford Olson, who is well known to them as a career criminal and informant. 


As police investigate, kids continue to be taken. Kids like Judy Kozma, a 14-year-old who never made it home from her shift at McDonald’s. By the time he’s finally arrested, Olson has murdered at least eleven young people. 


The RCMP’s case against him is weak - until Olson proposes a deal. 


In the present day, Arlene speaks to family members of those he killed.
