Summary

In 2015, on the eve of Valentine's day, the people of Halifax would learn that they aren’t exempt from the type of nightmares that play out on American news stations. A local 19 year old James Gamble and his girlfriend, 23 year old American Lindsay Souvannarath, had taken the first steps in a plot to shoot and kill as many people as possible in the Halifax Shopping Centre food court before taking their own lives, just like the murderous pair they idolized… the Columbine shooters. In part three of a series exploring the life and crime of the surviving would be shooter, the enigmatic Lindsay Souvannarath will rejoin Nighttime. In ‘Lindsay, James, and the Valentine’s Day Massacre’ Nighttime will present portions of an extended discussion with Lindsay Souvannarath that walks us through the birth, the planning, and the execution of the plot to kill as many people as possible in a Halifax shopping mall food court. Throughout the conversation, Lindsay will provide detailed background information on her relationship with her co-conspirator James Gamble, many of the decisions made during the planning, her perilous journey to Halifax, and her arrest at the airport.

Life is full of possibilities. A cheeky reply to a message here could lead to a world of fun new experiences over there

0:19.0

And with Tinder, it all starts with a swipe. Strangers can become mates, mates can become lovers with matching tattoos

0:27.0

Or maybe it's not that serious. Whether a match leads to something new and exciting or something personal, no matter what, all matches lead to self discovery

Before we begin, a quick warning. In the past, nighttime has welcomed guests who brought with them some controversial baggage

0:45.0

But this is different. References will be made to neo-nazism, mass murder, and self-harm

0:52.0

If these topics are triggers for you, either sit this one out or at least proceed with caution

0:58.0

Now I'd also like to make a short statement in response to some criticisms the series has received, specifically surrounding the idea of a platform being offered to a convicted criminal

1:09.0

I would hope it's obvious for anyone who's listened, but this was something I considered carefully and controlled absolutely while working on the series

1:18.0

To avoid any possible exploitation of the appearance on the show, a clear line was drawn between learning a boat and hopefully better understanding the events that surround the failed shooting plot

And allowing this guest to share their ideological views or anything that could even remotely resemble hate speech

So again, use your own discretion and consider if this is something you want to hear

1:54.0

This episode is much more disturbing than what's come so far

1:59.0

The views and opinions of this guest do not reflect those of nighttime or its host Jordan Bonaparte

Welcome back to an ongoing series exploring the life and the crime of Lindsay Suvonoroth, the young woman convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced to life in prison as a result of her role in the foiled Halifax Shopping Center Valentine's Day shooting plot

2:39.0

In the last entry in the series titled the story of Lindsay Suvonoroth, part two life before choosing death, I used excerpts from a series of interviews I conducted with her via the prison telephone system to explore her life leading up to the time just prior to the beginnings of this plot
