33. The Fall Of The Monster - Bruce McArthur - Part 3

Between 2010 and 2017 at least eight men would go missing in and around Toronto’s Gay Village that would end up being a part of this case. Those eight disappearances, and their connection, for whatever reason, would fly under the radar of police who seemed to view most of these as just missing men who probably had reasons to go missing. Even though the community at large was certain that there was a serial killer in their midst, taking victims and making them disappear, police would whole-heartedly disagree. Even though the majority of the men that would eventually be tied to Bruce McArthur had many things in common, including age, ethnicity, background, and marginalized status, police either failed to accept that this was the work of one suspect, or multiple suspects working together, until it was far too late. This week we look at how everything FINALLY came together to investigate, capture and put that serial killer behind bars.
