About this listen

In the haunting Season 2 premiere of Verona Investigates: Women Who Kill, we unravel the chilling case of Elaine Campione — a mother from Ontario whose descent into darkness shocked the nation.

In 2006, the quiet town of Barrie awoke to unthinkable news: Elaine had taken the lives of her two young daughters, Serena and Sophia. What could drive a mother to commit such an unthinkable act? Was it mental illness, desperation, revenge — or something even more tragic?

Join Verona as she retraces Elaine’s troubled past, her turbulent marriage, and the psychological unraveling that led to one of Canada’s most disturbing family tragedies. Through court testimony, recorded confessions, and the haunting final video Elaine made before the murders, we explore how love, loss, and control collided in a devastating act that would change everything.

This episode marks the beginning of Women Who Kill — a powerful new season that examines the hidden darkness behind Canada’s most notorious female criminals.


Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of child murder, mental illness, and domestic violence. Listener discretion is advised.
