  • S01 E22: The Predator Next Door: Cody Legebokoff and the Lies of Normalcy
    Apr 23 2025

    He was clean-cut, athletic, and friendly—a young man from a small Canadian town with no obvious signs of darkness. But behind Cody Legebokoff’s boy-next-door charm was a brutal killer responsible for the violent deaths of four women, including a legally blind 15-year-old girl.

    In this episode of Verona Investigates, we unravel the chilling double life of one of Canada’s youngest serial killers. From online lures to bloodied gravel pits, I follow the trail of a man who hunted vulnerable women under the guise of normalcy—and the traffic stop that cracked the case wide open.

    I also examine the lives of his victims—Loren Leslie, Natasha Montgomery, Cynthia Maas, and Jill Stuchenko—whose stories deserve more than headlines.

    Was this calculated violence, or a storm of impulse and opportunity?

    And how does someone with no violent history suddenly explode into murder?

  • S01 E21: Peter Woodcock: The Lost Boy Turned Killer
    Apr 16 2025

    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.

  • S01 E20: The Crimes of Dellen Millard & Mark Smich
    Apr 9 2025

    In this episode of Verona Investigates, I uncover the chilling crimes of Dellen Millard and Mark Smich, two men responsible for a series of brutal murders that shocked Canada.

    I begin by exploring Millard’s privileged upbringing as the heir to an aviation empire and his descent into crime, alongside his troubled associate, Mark Smich. Their reign of terror started with the disappearance of 23-year-old Laura Babcock in 2012, followed by the murder of Millard’s own father, Wayne Millard, later that year. However, it wasn’t until the tragic killing of Tim Bosma in 2013—after he innocently listed his truck for sale online—that their deadly pattern was exposed.

    Through in-depth analysis of police investigations, trial proceedings, and chilling quotes from the perpetrators, we examine how Millard and Smich covered their tracks and the disturbing lengths they went to in order to eliminate evidence—including the use of a specialized incinerator. I also discuss the trials, sentencing, and the lasting impact on the victims’ families.

    Finally, I compare their crimes to other notorious Canadian killers, such as Paul Bernardo and Luka Magnotta, shedding light on the psychology of individuals who kill for power and control.

    Tune in for a deep dive into one of the most infamous crime cases in modern Canadian history.
