101 | The Ontario Murders: Manhunt for “The Tattoo Man” Peter John Peters

In January 1990, Ontario was gripped by one of Canada’s largest manhunts in 15 years. Peter John Peters, a violent ex-convict known as ‘The Tattoo Man’, terrorised the province for several days, leaving a trail of theft, assault and murder. From the brutal killing of a 63-year-old cleaner to the stabbing of two young women and a bank robbery, his crime spree tested law enforcement and left communities in fear. 📘 My latest book: Wartime London's 'Bonnie and Clyde': The Crime Spree of Betty Jones and Karl Hulten https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wartime-Londons-Bonnie-Clyde-Hulten/dp/1036129616 📬 Subscribe to my free newsletter: https://prashganendran.com 💡 Support my work Patreon (audio-only ad-free episodes): https://www.patreon.com/prashsmurdermap ☕ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/prashsmurdermap 💵 PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/prashsmurdermap 🙏 Thank you for watching.
