In December 1965, 17-year-old Tom Kosberg made milkshakes for his parents and four siblings, dosed them with sleeping pills, and then hacked up their bodies with a double-bladed axe. Only the baby survived. Tom was found not guilty by reason of insanity. So, why was he out in 10?

Windemere Secondary School student Louise Wise had just turned 17 when she was stabbed to death in her East Vancouver home in 1971. Two years later, Geraldine Forster, 19 was shot to death at Renfrew Street and Grandview Highway with a Mountie's .38 service revolver. For a while police thought there was a connection, but when Louise's case was reopened 25 years later, detectives found the murder knife that held the killer's DNA was missing from the evidence room.

In 1975, Marion Hamilton, 69 was found dead in the bedroom of her Shaughnessy mansion. At first her death looked like suicide, but it was soon apparent that Marion had been murdered. It’s a fascinating story of a once prominent Vancouver family, money, a rambling old run-down mansion, and the shocking identity of Marion’s murderer.

In 1958, Evelyn Roche was murdered on the way home from the bus just two blocks from her Vancouver home. It’s a case that really haunted me when I first read about it. The newspaper stories just said was that she was a 39-year-old widow who had recently remarried and had a boy and a girl. I wanted to know what happened to her children, how their lives had turned out.
