- Description
- On Monday, June 17, the Toronto Star’s crime podcast Suspicion launches Season 3, “40 Years Cold.” In 1983, two women – Susan Tice and Erin Gilmour – were killed in their Toronto homes. Despite their efforts, police couldn’t trace any leads and the cases went cold. Then, nearly four decades later, science changed the way police close in on a killer. In this season of Suspicion, Toronto Star crime reporter Wendy Gillis and court reporter Betsy Powell take you through the nights of the murders, the history that led to them, the science that changed policing, and the stunning conclusion of a decades-long cold case. Look for it wherever you listen to podcasts or at https://www.thestar.com/podcasts/40-years-cold/

The bright red font of Gus Tacos locations dots storefronts across the city from Scarborough to Etobicoke. La Cubana has been a long-time staple of the Roncesvalles neighbourhood, specializing in pork sandwiches, pressed or on a buttery roll. And The Islands Caribbean Cookshop, with locations in Yonge Sheppard Centre and York University, serves up rotis, sandwiches, jerk chicken and Jamaican patties.
