The disappearance of 16-year-old Sharon Pryor—who vanished in 1975 while walking to a pizzeria in Montreal—became one of Canada’s darkest and most haunting cold cases. In this episode, we revisit the disturbing details surrounding the discovery of Sharon’s body in a frozen field, marked by signs of brutal assault, removed clothing, tape left tangled in her hair, and evidence suggesting she may have been held captive for several days. Unique clues also emerge, including a potential connection to the attack on Cheryl Wah along the same route, as well as possible links to the murders of Norma O’Brien and Debbie Fisher—raising chilling speculation about a serial predator operating in the region.
In this episode, you will learn how technologies like DNA phenotyping are capable of reopening decades-old cold cases, how investigators eventually identified Franklin Romine as a prime suspect and even exhumed his remains in 2023, and why the DNA confirmation process is still ongoing. You’ll also gain insight into offender patterns that target vulnerable victims, the hidden risks faced by teenagers even in seemingly safe neighborhoods, and the importance of renewed investigations in helping families finally move closer to justice.
