2000 André Desjardins 69 Montreal Quebec On the morning of April 27, André Desjardins was shot 11 times in his back, just moments after departing from a popular restaurant in Montreal. In the years leading up to his death, Desjardins had become one of the leading (and most successful) loan sharks in the city, with strong ties to organized crime.

There is widespread speculation that Desjardins' assassin had been a member of the local Hells Angels chapter in Quebec, or possibly a member of the Rock Machine. On the morning of his death, Desjardins had been scheduled to meet with Quebec chapter president, Maurice Boucher to discuss business matters. Boucher, however, did not show up.

Prior to the murder of Desjardins, Boucher had apparently asked him to "forgive" a $400,000 loan with 52% interest that had been taken out by a friend of Boucher's. Failing to be intimidated by the notorious biker, Desjardins angrily refused to excuse the loan. As Boucher continued to ominously insist that the loan be forgiven, Desjardins told Boucher that he did not take orders from the Hells Angels, and reminded him that he had powerful friends in the Mafia, the police, and in Quebec politics, saying he was not afraid of Boucher at all. Following this brief argument between the two, Boucher asked Desjardins to meet him the following day for breakfast to further discuss the matter. Desjardins agreed, but Boucher did not show up as he had planned. It was on the same morning that André Desjardins had been murdered.

1983 Paul Volpe 56 Toronto Ontario Nicknamed "The Fox", Paul Volpe was an Italian-Canadian Mafioso who belonged to New York's Buffalo crime family. Prior to his death, he had made a real estate financial transaction involving the Commisso 'ndrina, in which he cheated them. Additionally, Volpe expanded his organized crime operations from Southern Ontario to the State of New Jersey. This greatly annoyed the American Mafiosi, as it violated the "Mafia Code". Volpe had also agreed to be on documentary films by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation about the role of the Mafia in Canada's economy, causing his fellow mafia members to become very angry with him. As a result of Volpe's behavior, the Commissos struck an arrangement with the Buffalo crime family to have Volpe killed. The Buffalo crime family ultimately agreed, hiring hitman Cecil Kirby to carry out the deed.

Unbeknownst to the mafia, Cecil Kirby had been working as an informant for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at the time when the Commisso 'ndrina contracted him to kill Paul Volpe. Kirby told his law enforcement handlers about the plot to assassinate Volpe. Sgt. Al King of the Toronto Police Service then paid Volpe a visit, informing him that a contract had been placed on his life. King offered Volpe a deal where he would stage his death, to which Volpe agreed. While being hidden from the public eye within the Toronto RCMP Building, Cecil Kirby visited Rocco Remo of the Commisso 'ndrina to tell him that he had killed Volpe. Remo believed the lie, but only gave Kirby a portion of his promised money for the crime, assuring them that he would provide him with the rest later. With proper evidence to convict the Comissos, its bosses were arrested by the RCMP in 1982. They were charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

The following year, Paul Volpe was found dead in the trunk of his wife's BMW at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

The autopsy report revealed that she had been strangled to death with coaxial cable television wire. Police suspected her body was thrown from the westbound lane of the Highway 417 bridge into the river. [410]

In September 2022, using DNA and genetic genealogy, the victim was identified as Jewell Parchman Langford, aged 48 at the time of her death, from Tennessee. Rodney Nichols, an acquaintance of Langford's in Montreal, now 81 and resident in Florida, was charged with her murder and an extradition request was pending as of July 2023.

However, Sharron never arrived at the restaurant, and could not be located. Four days after her disappearance, her body was discovered in a beekeeper's field. [413]

In May 2023, DNA samples and genetic genealogy identified Prior's killer as Franklin Romine, a West Virginia man who died in 1982. Romine had been living in Montreal in 1975 and had a long list of criminal activity in Montreal and West Virginia. [414]

19832023Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour45 & 22 Toronto Ontario Susan Tice was discovered by her brother, after having been sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in her own bed. A few months later, a short walk away from Tice's home, the body of Erin Gilmour was found having suffered the same trauma and injuries as Tice, also in her bed. [102] [415]

Gilmour was the only daughter of David Gilmour, co-founder of Barrick Gold; David's business partner, Peter Munk, was the father of Erin's boyfriend. [415]

DNA tests in 2002 showed that the same person had killed both women. [102] In November 2020, through genetic genealogy, police researchers successfully identified the great-grandparents of the unknown suspect. [415]

On 24 November 2022, police arrested Joseph George Sutherland (61) in Moosonee, Ontario. Sutherland was transferred to Toronto, where he faced two counts of first-degree murder in the Tice and Gilmour deaths. [416] On 5 October 2023, Sutherland pleaded guilty to both murders. [417]

He was struck from behind by a 1995–1997 white Dodge Neon, and the unidentified driver fled the scene of the accident. Though they were unable to find the car, police believed that the driver was someone in the community. [426] [427] [428] [429] [430]

In September 2023, acting on a tip from the public, police searched the property of David and Anastasia Haliburton in Mapleton Township, near the scene of the accident; a white Dodge Neon was seized and the Haliburtons were arrested and charged in the death of Shortreed. The car had been hidden behind a false wall in a semi-trailer. In September 2024, David Haliburton pleaded guilty to charges of leaving the scene of an accident causing bodily harm or death, and obstructing justice; Anastasia Haliburton pleaded guilty to obstructing justice.

1976-19772024Eva Dvorak, Patricia McQueen, Barbara Maclean and Melissa Rehorek14, 14, 19 & 20 Calgary Alberta Classmates Eva Dvorak and Patricia McQueen, both 14, disappeared on or about February 15, 1976, near 9th Avenue and 12th Street S.E. in Calgary; the bodies of the two girls were found the following morning under the Happy Valley underpass, west of Calgary. [432]

On February 26, 1977, the body of Marbara Maclean (19) was found by a man walking along a gravel road near 80th Avenue and 6th Street NE. Barbara and her boyfriend had gotten into an argument on the evening of February 25, and he left her in the parking lot of a bar. Barbara decided to hitchhike to a party but never arrived. It was believed that the individual who gave Barbara a ride was responsible for her death, and that the same individual also killed Melissa Rehorek (20), who was found September 16, 1976, in a ditch along a gravel road about 20 km west of Calgary. [102] [433] [434] [435]

On May 17, 2024, the Alberta RCMP announced that all four murders had been solved. DNA evidence found on all four bodies connected the murders to Gary Allen Srery, a serial killer and repeat sexual offender who died in prison in Idaho in 2011 while serving a life sentence for rape. [432]

The Highway of Tears is a 719-kilometre (447 mi) corridor of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert in British Columbia, Canada, which has been the location of crimes against many women, beginning in 1970 when the highway was completed. The phrase was coined during a vigil held in Terrace, British Columbia in 1998, by Florence Naziel, who was thinking of the victims' families crying over their loved ones. There are a disproportionately high number of Indigenous women on the list of victims, hence the association with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) movement.

Manon Dubé was a 10-year-old Canadian girl from Sherbrooke, Quebec who disappeared on January 27, 1978, in the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and was found dead in Ayer's Cliff on March 24, 1978. Although the precise cause of Dubé's death remains uncertain, Canada's National Post has unveiled compelling evidence that she was murdered. After discovering links between the circumstances of Dubé's case and the close resemblance to the recent deaths of two other girls, Theresa Allore and Louise Camirand, they theorized that the three deaths may have been committed by the same person. After bringing in geographic profiler, Kim Rossmo, an expert in connecting serial crimes, he strongly suggested that a serial killer was operating in the area during the late 1970's.
