In this episode, we examine the tragic case of Alison Parrott, an 11-year-old Toronto girl whose 1986 murder shocked Canada and led to one of the country's most extensive investigations. A promising young athlete, Alison was lured from her home by a man posing as a photographer, under the pretense of taking promotional photos for an upcoming track meet. Her body was discovered two days later in Kings Mill Park, having been bound, sexually assaulted, and strangled. The case remained unsolved for nearly a decade until advances in DNA technology linked the crime to Francis Carl Roy, who was convicted of first-degree murder in 1999 and sentenced to life in prison2. This episode explores the meticulous police work, the emotional toll on Alison’s family, and the broader implications for child safety and forensic science.
