June 28, 1991. An elderly couple named Gordon Jackie McAllister drive their motorhome into

an isolated rest stop near Blind River, Ontario, in order to spend the night. They are awakened

by an armed man, who robs them before shooting Jackie to death and wounding Gordon. When a

motorist named Brian Major pulls into the rest stop, the suspect fatally shoots him as

well before fleeing the scene. Years later, a former Blind River resident is tied to two unsolved

murders and becomes a potential suspect. After that, the trail went cold.

Hello everyone and welcome to the trail went cold. I'm your host Robin Warder and today I am

alternating between our regular full-length episodes about the more extensive cases and 10-15

minute mini-sodes about cases which don't have as many details. We feel this is a good way to

deliver weekly content to our listeners and provide exposure for more cold cases. So all we can say is

made it this far without you. So since this is a shorter mini-sode, let's dive right into the case.

As you may or may not know, the trail went cold as a Canadian-produced podcast, so I think it's about

time we did our first Canadian story. This is a case which was originally featured on unsolved
