About this listen

Peter Woodcock was a child murderer whose crimes shook Toronto in the 1950s. Despite an outward appearance of shyness, he harbored dark fantasies that led him to take the lives of three young children. Sent to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison, Woodcock would later prove that his violent urges never faded.

In this episode of Verona Investigates, I explore his disturbing past, the failure of the mental health system, and the shocking crime he committed decades later while on a day pass from the hospital.
