A first shift, a costume party, and a Christmas plan. We investigate the chilling sequence of disappearances that scarred a community.

Three individuals. Twenty years. One quiet town north of Toronto.

In 1995, Wendy Smith started her first shift at the Fantasia Hotel strip club. She never finished it. Investigators believe she met her end that night, but for nearly 30 years, her family has begged for the truth.

Just one year later, on Halloween night 1996, 21-year-old Pierre Mercon called his mother for a ride home in the early morning hours. When she arrived, he was gone. Foul play is strongly suspected.

The vanishing continued in 2011. Cheryl Rowe, planning Christmas dinner, disappeared days before the holiday—a time of year her daughter says she wouldn't miss for the world. Police later changed her case status to murder.

Three cold cases. Three families shattered in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Don't miss the next chapter of Ontario Cold Cases - Canada's True Crime Podcast.

Richmond Hill's Vanished. Coming Thursday, November 20th.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.

This episode dives into the heartbreaking and mysterious case of Christine Prince, a Welsh nanny who came to Toronto in 1981, hoping to build a career caring for children. Christine found work with the Kruzick family, caring for their young daughter and quickly becoming part of their family. She loved her new life in Toronto and was even engaged to a chef named David Curtis-Smith.

But on June 20, 1982, her life took a tragic turn. After an evening out, Christine was last seen by her friend Gloria Betts on a streetcar. Just four blocks from her home, she was likely abducted, taken over 40 km away, assaulted, and murdered. Her body was found in the Rouge River, and the case remains unsolved over 40 years later.

Police believe Christine's killers may have been two men, and over the years, they’ve considered several suspects, including notorious serial killers Paul Bernardo and Danny Wood. Yet no one has been definitively connected to her murder. DNA evidence exists, and advancements in forensic science hold the hope that someday it may yield answers.

If you remember anything about Christine or received unusual gifts around that time – a distinctive gold ring, a gold watch, or a Kodak Instamatic camera – please reach out. Every clue matters in helping her family find justice.
