115. Murder Under the Bridge: Reena Virk

Women are beautiful, women are strong. Women can be each other’s biggest champion. But women can also be each other’s harshest critics; jealous and vindictive. From the mother-in-law versus bahu trope, to the trope of 2 pretty girls who can never be friends, female equations are complex, marred with the sexism society has taught us. This is the universe of every young girl’s childhood and it was the universe of the girls living on tiny Vancouver Island in British Columbia in the fall of 1997. It was a universe that was about to boil over into a tale of brutal murder. This is the story of Reena Virk.

114. Reborn for Revenge: The Mysterious Case of Titu Singh

Titu Toran Singh was born in a village near Agra on December 12th, 1983. At age 2, his first words were: I am not from here. He insisted he was actually a man named Suresh, who was murdered in his past life. Over the years, he began making outlandish claims like owning a radio shop in Agra and having a wife named Uma. Finally in 1986 his parents put his claims to the test by visiting Agra where he said his shop was. They found it…Suresh Radio. And 41 years later, we found Titu. This is FIRST EVER podcast interview. Find out in this episode if Titu was lying, or if he was actually reborn for revenge.

113. The Discord Killer

Imagine you live in Perfect World. I don’t mean 'a' perfect world. I mean Perfect World, the video game. Slowly, the more you play the game, the more its adventurous valleys and roles take you into an alternate world, and the easier it becomes for you to forget the very real, imperfect world around you. This scenario, as dystopian as it may sound, was the very real state of mind of a young, Bangladeshi-Canadian boy unable to reconcile Perfect World with his world. This is the story of the Toronto quadruple murder. This is the story of Menhaz Zaman.
