Hi friends, I hope you're doing well. Just a few things before I begin. This case is a two-parter.

If you're a supporter on Patreon or Supercast, the ad-free version of Part 2 is waiting for you right now.

For everyone else, Part 2 will be available in just two days. No matter how you show your support,

I wanted to thank you for listening to the ads and

supporting my sponsors, for telling a friend or recommending the podcast online, for leaving a

rating or a review or for any financial support that you might give.

It all helps and I appreciate you guys so much.

I also wanted to thank everyone who sent in great feedback on the last episode on the Saskatoon freezing deaths. I do have something that I have to correct about that episode. It's to do with the phrase, you're not dead until you're warm and dead. In the episode, I said that this phrase referred to the paradoxical undressing in the end stages of hypothermia,

when some people suddenly get incredibly hot and want to rip their clothes off.

But I have found out some interesting information.

This is not where the phrase originates.

Its purpose is actually to remind medical professionals treating

someone with hypothermia that the condition can slow down bodily functions like a pulse and

breathing so much that it looks like the person has passed away, when in actual fact, they might

still be able to be revived. So no matter what, the body must be rewarmed and resuscitation

continued and it's only when they've been warmed up to a certain temperature that they can be

pronounced dead. I wanted to think all of the medical professionals who wrote in to educate me

about this topic, you really do learn something every day. And with that,

it's on with this show.

Canadian True Crime is a completely independent production. The podcast contains course

language, adult themes, and content of a violent and disturbing nature. Listener discretion

is advised. The year was 1995, and Laura Letts had just gone through a painful breakup.
