Lost in the Shadows: The Unsolved Murder of Kelly Mombourquette
Lost in the Shadows: The Unsolved Murder of Kelly Mombourquette A City’s Dark Secret. A Murder Unsolved. A Girl Forgotten. In the shadows of Toronto’s neon-lit streets, 14-year-old Kelly Mombourquette vanished into the night—only to be found on October 19, 1987, her lifeless body discarded in a desolate parking lot on Yorkland Blvd. Brutally beaten, her throat slashed, Kelly’s murder sent shockwaves through the city. A runaway trapped in a world of drugs and prostitution, she was just a child, lost to a system that failed her. The chilling absence of blood at the scene pointed to a sinister truth: her killer struck elsewhere, leaving a trail that’s grown cold over decades. Three men—Carlos Zambrano, Sharma Marajh, and Subash Raggoo—were charged, pinned by the shaky testimony of a teenage witness whose lies unraveled in court. With no forensic evidence to tie Kelly to the alleged crime scene, the case collapsed, and her killer walked free. Whispers of a shadowy prostitution ring called “The Family” and a mysterious figure known as George or Junior haunt the investigation. Was the truth buried by forensic failures or something far darker? Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast dives deep into Kelly’s heartbreaking story, peeling back layers of a flawed investigation and a life cut short. Who silenced Kelly Mombourquette, and why? Subscribe now and join the quest for justice—don’t let Kelly’s story fade into the shadows.

Vanished in the Night: The Unsolved Murder of Debbie Silverman
Vanished in the Night: The Unsolved Murder of Debbie Silverman In the pre-dawn hours of August 12, 1978, 21-year-old Debbie Silverman stepped into the hallway of her Toronto apartment building—and vanished. A vibrant young woman with a love for disco, exotic perfumes, and dreams as big as her heart, Debbie was snatched in a violent ambush, her purse and broken gold necklace left scattered as haunting clues. Three months later, her body was found in a shallow grave 80 km away, bound and shot, in a desolate Sunderland field. Her killer remains a shadow, uncaught, unchained. Was it a predatory serial killer like Clifford Olson, who taunted authorities with cryptic claims? Or the fugitive duo, Darryl Dollan and Daryle Newstead, prowling Toronto’s streets that same night? Could it have been someone closer—a jealous acquaintance from her double date, or a stranger who knew exactly when she’d return? With no DNA evidence and a trail gone cold, the Toronto and Ontario Provincial Police chase whispers of a connection to other missing women, like Alison Thomas and Claire Samson. Every lead, every theory, brings Debbie’s grieving mother, Carol, closer to the truth—or deeper into despair. Dive into the chilling mystery on *Ontario Cold Cases: Canada’s True Crime Podcast*. Unravel the clues, question the suspects, and join the fight for justice.
