  Speaker 1: We all strive for something money, power, traveling the world,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: or relationships. We all have something that we're striving for.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: So when we achieve that thing that we've been chasing
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: for so long, especially when we do it on our
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: own accord, it can feel so satisfying. The Only problem
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: is it's often the journey that satisfies us rather than
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the destination itself. So what if you get it all?
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: But what if for some reason, when you do get
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it all, you're not happy. Could a person like that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: who gets everything they ever wanted and still not be happy,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: ever be satisfied? Well, today we talk about a Canadian
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: case where someone had it all, but they still weren't satisfied,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and they threw it all a way in murderous fashion.

  Speaker 1: got to hear the pre show. They know what we're
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Some behind the scenes yes, and they.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Also got a little bit of a heads up on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: what we're about to talk about here too, because we
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: put a little post in there. Some very heavy news
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a very close local case to us. Twelve years ago,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Madison Scott. She went missing from a lake just outside
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: of Vanderhof called Hog's Back.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Lake, and Vanderhoof is about like forty five minutes an
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: hour away from Prince George. Yeah, very close.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so lots of times, you know, people go from
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: vander Hoof to Prince George, Prince George Vanderhof. It's just
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: cities beside each other. Right. So Madison's remains have been found.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: She was identified today. She's no longer missing. Police are
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: pursuing an investigation. It is ongoing. They do not have
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: anyone in custody currently, but Madison has been found. It's
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: good news, but it's I mean, it's terrible news.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's just I imagine it's just ripped the family's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: heart just right back open.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, So our thoughts are with the Scott family. We're
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: glad that Madison can now be laid.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: To rest, and hopefully the family can now kind of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: cane you on their journey of healing, right, yeah, and.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Get that closure they need, and hopefully whoever is responsible
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: can be found.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah that man. Okay, the fact that the remains have
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: been found, I was like, oh my gosh, like I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: sure that they have like someone in custody like that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, her remains were found on somebody's like property, yes,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't appear that they do. So I'm just
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: really hoping that someone is you know, pays for this.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Well I'm assuming here, don't get me wrong, I'm assuming
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they they would have found this, like you said, on
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: someone's property. That's where it is. So they have a story,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they are following leads, they are chasing. They must have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: names or individuals involved. Doesn't say the articles only said
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they don't have someone in custody. Doesn't mean they don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: have suspects or people they're chasing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: They have to have suspects, Yeah, for sure, because.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: For example, and I don't I'm not saying this is
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the case, but what if the property had been sold
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: in the meantime and its new owners they might now
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: know who the previous owners were. They just need to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: track them down. That could be the only case. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: maybe in a week time they're caught up with them
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: or who knows, you know. But it's it's good news,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: but it's very devastating news both At the same time,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we've had people request Madison Scott for a podcast before.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It's a bit too close to home for us. We're
• 5:24

  Speaker 1: her story if you're interested.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it is a very interesting story, and it
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: is one that it kind of like it shook her
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: household a little bit. I think it's probably shook this
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: whole northern community because I mean we all had hope that,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you know, the outcome would be better. But then it
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: was also kind of like, oh, like she probably never
• 5:50

• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean this this story, like just to

  Speaker 2: to home, like even all over Prince George, like they're
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: still to in this day twelve years later, there's posters
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: and there's signage and and like it has been a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: case that they have kind of really kept, especially locally,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: in the forefront of people's minds.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Well, if you drive down the mailbox on a mailbox
• 8:06

• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it's been there for I mean it gets like a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: new one gets posted every year. Once it's like sun
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: bleached and weathered, another one gets posted.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that won't be being posted anymore.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Well no, but like I said, she has been found.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: That is good.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It is good. Yeah.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Anyways, let's move on from that. Let's talk about today's story.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So today's story is a Canadian story, and this story
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: begins with a man by the name of Peter Dempter. Now.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Peter was born in August nineteenth, nineteen thirty three. He
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: was born in Budapest, Hungary. Okay, so his family was
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: rather wealthy and well off. So Peter's future right out
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of the gate was pretty bright. As soon as he
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: was born. He's pretty assured to have a good future.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: He kind of had that privileged family atmosphere he was
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: born into. However, World War II would soon follow and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: it would take place, of course, from September one, nineteen
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: thirty nine, officially to September Tewod nineteen forty five, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: it raged on in these troubled times with the of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: course Communist government and everything. It was not looking good
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: for much of the world, let alone the area where
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Peter was specifically living. So Peter's family would eventually lose
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: their wealth and their status because of this, they became
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: impoverished and following the war. In nineteen fifty six, twenty
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: three year old Peter would make his way over to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Canada with approximately two hundred thousand other refugees who were
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: fleeing their country during a revolution of the Soviet Union. So,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: like most others who came over, Peter didn't have much
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: money or any possessions. It was just himself and whatever
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: he managed to carry along with him in his hage,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: which included a grand total of eight dollars.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, so.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: That's all he had with him when he arrived to Toronto.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Which definitely would have been a little bit more back then.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: But still, oh yes, that's kind of makes you feel
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: a bit uneasy, ain't Oh it does, yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Just to put it in perspective, I'm not looking up
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the actual conversion rates from then to now or anything,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but just say it's ten times. Okay, So if he
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: had eight dollars, it's eighty dollars today. That's not a
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: whole lot.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I know, that's scary.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Holy So, this though, wasn't going to stop Peter.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: He had a drive in him. Unlike most people, he
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was going to do something, make a name for himself.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: He was determined to restore that wealth and status to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: his family's name, the same name, the same status that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: had been been at years before. So he would soon
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: start finding work, doing any job that was available. He
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: saved every single penny that he was able to. He
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: kept pushing forward, kept going towards his goal. Soon he
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: got his real estate license and he began selling homes
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to other Hungarian immigrants that were coming into Canada. Okay,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and this was the launching point for Peter's future career.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That seems smart, actually.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It is making sure that he's actually servicing a niche
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: community that's in need, right, absolutely, And that's what entrepreneurship is, right,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: It's finding something that's in demand and it's supplying that demand.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that I feel like that's really thinking outside
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the box.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: They're like, well done, right, And it's also like, okay,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: other immigrants from the same country, it's like they're probably
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: going to go to him because he experienced the same thing.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: He is just like them.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, so it's like, oh, there's already that trust there.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Right, you're from the same country, you experienced the Soviet Union,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you came over, you're an immigrant, You're just like us.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You had how much in your pocket when you arrived?
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: You managed to build yourself up. You have this business,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you're helping others find houses. Helped me too. You're the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: guy for us, You're who we're looking for.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He's literally like showing that the dream can happen
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: kind of thing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I understand it's a cliche and it's we're
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: talking Canada here, but it is quote the American dream, right.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: That American dream does still kind of apply universally because
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a loose term. It's, you know, finding
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a piece of property, making a family, having a good job,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: being self sustaining. That's the American dream. It can apply
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to many different cultures and lifestyles, but it's still that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: self sustaining family and having you know, a good life. Absolutely,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that's what he's supplying here, the American dream in Canada
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: as a refugee.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, if that makes sense, it makes sense. It
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: makes sense.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: So in nineteen sixty two, Peter registered the business name
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Eden Gardens Limited and began construction on an apartment building
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: in Toronto.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, yeah.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Good for him, right, that's impressive exactly.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: So now he's building up these apartments, he's developing, he's developing,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and guess what he's probably going to be selling these
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: units to.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: No shit, right, wow.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: So not only is he getting the actual real estate
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: portion of it, but he's also the developer portion. He's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: kind of like double.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Dipping in the aspect, no kidding.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So because of this, Peter would soon become very successful.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He become a self made multi millionaire successful in fact.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He brought his family's name back to that lavish
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: status that it once used to be. He had pride
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in his name, he had status, and he had a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: love for money. In nineteen sixty five, Peter, now having
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: plenty of money, plenty of disposable income at his fingertips,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: would travel back to his homeland in Vienna. It would
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: be here that he met a twenty year old beautiful
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: woman by the name of Marina Hunt. Now, Marina was
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a model, and Peter was obsessed with her, and he
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: professed his love for her the second time that they met.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Oh really, hey, he knew, he knew well head over
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: heels for her.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, literally, yeah, exactly, He's just like, holy shit, like
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I'm picturing like the mask, jaw drop, tongue, rolls out
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: in the table, eyes, bug out of the head sort
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of thing, the whole cartoony thing.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Now, he, like you say, fell head over heels. However,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Marina didn't share the same feelings and rejected.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Him really well. And also, I'm thinking there's like an
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: an age gap there, right there is.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I think I don't know if it's very much. He's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: probably around like twenty five or something like that by
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: this time, maybe.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Maybe thirty, Okay, but still, yeah.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't really keep track of his age throughout this
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: whole story. So yeah, she didn't share the same feelings though,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and reportedly this sent Peter into a nervous breakdown that
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: sent him to the hospital for three days. Really apparently
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I couldn't find records of this, but I did find
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a few accounts of people talking.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: About this, like, yeah, that's interesting. That's really taken it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Hard, right, like take it on the chin, man, Come on.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: You can't handle rejection.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Apparently not. So he was in the hospital for three
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: days and then returned to Canada, I guess, kind of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: with his tail between his legs by the sound of it. However,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: he was persistent and he started writing Marina letters, continuing
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to profess his love and promised her a life of
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: money and wealth, lavish lifestyle, being looked after, cared for.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: He sent her gifts, you name it. The letters were
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: beginning to be sent back and forth. Marina kind of
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: was stringing him along that it would be the next.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Liked the damn gifts, well.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Exactly, she kind of liked the idea of the money,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the gifts. She wasn't really into him by the sounds
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: of it. However, there was a little bit of a
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: caveat because next year Peter would come back to be
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: to Vienna and that's when he found out that Marina
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: actually had a boyfriend this whole time.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, yes, but still just like accepting these gifts
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: and writing and shit.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Correct, So, in my assumption, she probably liked this guy,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: but liked Peter's money, and I was like, if it
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: doesn't work out with this guy, then I can just
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: go to Peter.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: And you know that's dirty.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of the game I think she was
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: playing here. Peter, of course, when he found out, he
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: was furious.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Did he end up back in the hospital for a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: few days He didn't? Oh shit, okay.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he would actually assault her at her pole.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, yeah, her. I thought maybe it was going
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to be the boyfriend.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: No. Now, I couldn't find if the attack was reported
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: or not, so I'm not saying that she went to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the hospital but she was attacked. But either way, Peter
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: would walk away without any repercussions, and I couldn't find
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the extent of or the how bad the attack quote
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: unquote really was. Okay, So either way, though, it would
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: be two weeks later, while Peter was still in Vienna
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: that he would meet another woman.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, so.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: He's kind of leaving Marina behind and with her he
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: sees this other woman, another model by the name of
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Christina Ferrari, who is twenty seven years old.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, so he has a type.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: He has a type.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Models, models, models.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Now The two instantly hit it off, Peter over Christine's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: beauty and Christine over Peter's money. The day after they met,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Peter whisked her away on their first date, and she
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: would soon move to Toronto with Peter.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this was much easier.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Much easier to swoon her and gain her, to be like, hey,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: come to me, I've got I've got money, I've got things.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: You like money, things that's got money and things.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Have you? Have you seen a photo of Peter?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Is he a looker or no? Not at all?
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He wasn't bad looking by any means. No, No, okay, No,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say he's like super hot, but I mean
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: it's like he's not bad looking.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, because for some reason, I'm picturing someone that's
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: like really not attractive at all.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: No, he's I don't know, he's just kind of.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Like like an average average joe.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, six and a half, maybe a seven out of
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: ten something like that.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Oh that's bad. That's above average.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's above average, but he's not like he's not
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: like a nine or ten. He's not like smoking hot,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, I have to put a photo up here
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: and see what other people think. I'm gonna have to
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: look at what what he looks like and to be fair,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: to be fair, be fair, my.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Judging skills might be off because i mean this is
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: in the sixties, right, so it's like, eh, people looked
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a little different back then too, So.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: That's very true.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Standards are different and you know, so.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Regardless though, the two were happy, and they would soon
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: become married on November fourteenth in nineteen sixty seven. Okay,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and they would also welcome their baby daughter named Andrew,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: into the world in nineteen seventy.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, they have a baby.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: They had a baby. Their life seemed perfect. They I mean,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they're a good looking couple. She was a model, He
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: was a six and a half or seven.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who was a like multi millionaire?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of money. Yeah. They had you know, new
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: new child, next family.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: What could go wrong?
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: What could go wrong? On the surface of all look perfect,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: but behind closed doors things aren't always as they seemed,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: so the once happy couple were quickly growing apart. Now. Allegedly,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Peter was very controlling of Christine and wanted to know
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: where she was or who she was with at all times,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: which is generally not the best personality trait to have.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Mm hm.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: He would also begin to suspect that their daughter, Andrea,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: was not actually his child.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Oh really.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: He suspected this though, because he couldn't see any resemblance
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: between him and the kid.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, well that is absolutely not like always the case.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: No, definitely not. You shouldn't be judging if it's your
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: kid because it's like, oh, it doesn't quite look like me.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not really.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: A jumping point for genetics, you know.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, okay, So I'm like a photographer, so I
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: take a lot of photos of like kids and parents,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and sometimes it is unbelievable how striking the resemblances. It's
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: like it's a mini one of them.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: You showed me one today actually, like.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: It's like holy shit, like you have nothing to worry about,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: like that is your child. But then there's so many
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: times when it's like, oh, like, oh it's a mix
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: of you guys, or I really don't know which one
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: it looks more like, you know, and did you adopt?
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: So that is not a way to judge.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Here, It's definitely not. But that's kind of what he
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: was going on. So he accused Christine, of course, of adultery,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: and he also accused many of the men he knew
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of being the father. Now, there are allegations that Christine
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: was in fact not being faithful, so it's hard to
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: tell exactly where the relationship downward spiral really did begin.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, but we don't know for sure if she was unfaithful.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: No, okay.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Either way, though, I mean, Peter's actions had Christine in
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: less than an amused situation. Let's put that way. So
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Christine was in over her head with Peter in fact,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: even before they did get married, even before they did
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: have this kid. She would eventually show up at a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: friend's house with a split lip.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: How the injury came about was never actually reported as
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: far as I could find, But she did say to
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: her friend in that visit that she didn't want to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: be with Peter anymore.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Oh no, okay, I don't like that at all.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: No, not cool. I mean, I'm pretty sure we can
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: all assume really where that's going. Yeah, So, in a
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: desperate attempt to help her friend, she actually had booked
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: a plane ticket right then and there for her to
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: head to back to Vienna and leave the life with
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Peter behind. Okay, Christine held that ticket in her hand.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: She wanted to leave, she can go back home live
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the life she used to love, but for one reason
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: or another, she couldn't do it. She chose not to
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: get on that plane, but instead to stay with Peter
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: and the whole toxicity of their soon marriage.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, gosh, the strength that that would take,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: especially like when kids are involved, right, Like.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: That's hard.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Well, this was prior to having the kid.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: This was probably this was prior to them having the kid.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was even before the marriage. This was even
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: before they had a kid.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: But still like but still no, yeah, it'll still be hard. Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not that it's not difficult even in any relationship situation. Yeah,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: but yeah, having the kid would make it much more complicated.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, like the lip thing is an issue, but
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: then also like how controlling he is too? Like that,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, if that's not dealt with, it's not going
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: to get better.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Generally, it only gets worse.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so, whether it was prior to the
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: marriage or now, like, the turmoil left a huge stain
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: on the relationship, and because of this, Peter found himself
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: once again reaching out to his previous love Marina.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Seriously, yes, okay, I didn't see that freaking comming.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: He began writing letters once again.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: He sent her flowers, he sent her gifts, he sent
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: her money. And then in June of nineteen seventy three,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: he found out that Marina was getting married.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, yeah, like what is he freaking things happening here?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: He's not interested?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Well, when he heard about that, he bought a
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: plane ticket and sent it to her. The plane ticket
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: was for Quebec. He sent her a plane ticket to Quebec,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: said come meet me. We're going to have a weekend together.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So she did.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this shit's messy, isn't it? Like real messy?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's married. He's married, she's getting married, and they're
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: now meeting up for a weekend in Quebec.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, right, I wonder if they're gonna have some boutine?
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: And so what is the other thing I did not
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I did not think you were gonna say poutine?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Oh else? Okay, the other thing I was gonna say
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: is beavertail. It doesn't get any better than Okay, we
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: gotta move on.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Holy fuck, you're killing me.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: And the problem is none of that was even planned.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: That's just me being an eight.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't think I've ever laughed this
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: fucking hard on this podcast.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Before you're good, you need to take a minute.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I've got it. I've got this. Okay. So they met
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: up in Quebec for some potential poutine and beaver tail.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Those are legit food items.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: They are they are legit Canadian food items. And during
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: this time the two the two would connect over what
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I presumed to be a very romantic weekend of poutine
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and beavertail.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: God, you got to move on from that.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And they decided that they actually wanted to spend their
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: life together. Oh there was, of course, just one problem.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Now Marina could easily cancel her wedding. She wasn't married yet,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: but Peter was already married.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Did he have a child, Yes, and he had a
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: child to at this point.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Was he's married, he has his kidd God, the only
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: time I backed up was the one splitlip thing. We're
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: back completely back on track here. So he would need
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a divorce, and a divorce would mean that he would
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: potentially lose half of everything his money, his company, his possessions,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: his assets, everything. Yep, So he had a bit of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: a pro that he needed to solve. So first off,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Marina would head back home to Vienna with a ticket
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: already booked to come back to Canada a month later
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: on July twenty sixth.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: So they had a plan. I'm assuming here.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Kind of seems like there's a plan.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. It's so interesting that she just decided that
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: she liked him now too, what the heck is that about?
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean money talks, right, Maybe he had enough money.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I guess, but I mean he was was the right word,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: lavishing her in gifts and stuff prior to and she
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: didn't budge. So yeah, it's just interesting.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. So while Marina went back to Vienna,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Peter and Christine would spend the upcoming July a weekend
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: in the July, more specifically hosting some friends and some
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: family at their home in Mississauga, which is just outside
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: of Toronto. So on July eighteenth, nineteen seventy three, Peter
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: took their guests into Toronto by car, and he included
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: making sure that their dog was involved. So he took
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: all their guests and the dog into the car to
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: go shopping. Now, Christine stayed at home with their daughter
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Andrea as they drove off, so they left her alone
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: at the house to have a relaxing day by the
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: pool side. Now they would return home for dinner and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: then leave again to finish their shopping. So during the trip,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Peter picked out a nice locket necklace for Christine to
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: give her to give her for her birthday, which was
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: about a week later. And finally they would return home
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: at nine to forty five pm and it would be
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a long date they'd return home from. So after the
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: long day, Peter pulled up into the driveway, opened the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: garage door to park their car inside, and it was
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: there that he found Christine laying on the cold, meant
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: floor of the garage in a pool of her own blood.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Shit. Okay, but for some reason, I feel like this
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: is planned. I think because he brought the dog, but
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: then he didn't bring the daughter. So I'm kind of
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: wondering what the hell's going on there.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Well, the daughter, by this point, I believe, is three. Okay,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: just as for context, m but yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Like needs someone watching her.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he, like you say, did make sure to
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: bring the dog.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well was the daughter? Okay? Okay, I'm just going
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: to keep listening. I'm listening. Well.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: To start off with Christine, the back of her head
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: had a very large open wound that was seeping blood
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: onto the floor. Luckily enough, their daughter, Andrea was completely
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: unharmed inside the house.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank goodness.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Peter immediately dialed nine one one and told police there
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: was an accident at his house and his wife seemed
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: to have committed suicide.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Committed suicide, yes, okay, I don't feel like that would
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: be a way to commit suicide. No wound on the
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: back of your head.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: I agree, Okay.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we're on the same page there. I just
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: like what you just seemed very like argumentative over that,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I was.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Gonna let you in.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, No, I agree, I agree.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: And she was not alive. To clarify, no, okay, Dan.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: So when the authorities arrived at the scene, they rushed
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: into the garage to examine Christine, and of course she
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: was not alive. However, something didn't seem right. This wasn't
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a suicide, and it wasn't an accident. It was obvious
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that Christine had been struck on the back of the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: head with something. This was a murder scene. Peter wouldn't
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: have it. Though he strongly disagreed with that decision, he
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: insisted that if it was not suicide, then it was
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: definitely an accident. Peter in fact stood over top of
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Christine's lifeless body and demonstrated how he believed she must
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: have been climbing on something and reaching up for something else.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Then he kind of mimicked her slipping and falling into
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the position his now deceased wife laid on the floor.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: This And should he not be like, maybe a little
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: bit devastated that his wife is laying dead on the.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Ground there in the garage, you would think, However, instead
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: he's standing over top of her and mimicking how he
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: believes she would have got into this situation.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Wow, that is a really disturbing visual.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree for sure.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Wow Okay.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: And of course though he wasn't convincing anyone, In fact,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: they were like they were able to figure out Christine
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: would have been struck on the back of the head
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: a total of seven times. Wow, with a blunt object.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Holy hack.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: So seven times with the blunt object is not an accident?
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: No, But I'm also just like I'm putting I'm literally
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: in the garage right now. Like watching him reenact this,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I would just be mortified, I think, yeah, mortified.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: It would almost be like it was like you got
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: you can't watch, but you have to watch kind.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Of yes, And the entire time I'd be thinking, what
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a fucking douche Canoe.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like should we get on a T shirt.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: That says douche Canoe? Yeah, and a Dunce cap that
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: says douche Canoe, not Dunce, just says douche Canoe should
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: make a new fashion statement.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: They also actually had found defensive wounds on her hands,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: showing that she indeed was attacked and she did try
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: and fight back.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Oh that's sad.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So of course it's it's a normal thing to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: suspect a house or a spouse at first in any
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: sort of case, right, you know, they're usually the first suspect,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: But mixed with Peter's odd behavior, it put a lot
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of red flash in his direction. His actions, though, weren't
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the only thing that drew attention from the police. So
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: while they were at the scene investigating, Peter actually willingly
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: dive aled some information like, for example, their marital struggles,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: their problems together. He started telling them about that, and
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: then on top of it all, he told them about
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a one million dollar life insurance policy that he had
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: on his wife.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Wow, yes, which guy just don't hen Okay, he doesn't.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Get it, does he no, which he would soon try
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: and take out said life insurance policy, which is just
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: a little side fun fact for you there. So needless
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to say, though, this was all very significant information for
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the police, and they brought Peter into the station for questioning.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: He would, however, be released as they didn't have anything
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: to really charge them with yet. So through their investigation
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: they found much more interesting evidence. For example, they had
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: discovered a couple weeks prior to Christine's death, she had
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: visited several lawyers. Really she did so Apparently she knew
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: about the love letters from Peter and Marina back and forth.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Really yep, okay, I didn't see that coming.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Yep. She found them, she read them. She knew Peter's intentions,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: what he was planning on doing, so she wanted to
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: find if her custody rights over her children were strong
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: enough to have that custody for her in the situation
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: if she leaves a relationship, so she's visiting lawyers to
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: find out her rights prior to acting.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Huh, okay, so she's being like a little bit smart
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: then she is unlike Oh no, I'm not even gonna
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: say unlike Peter Peter.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I'll say all at that, Well, why do you think
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Peter's not being smart?
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Well, he's not. I just feel like he's not really
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: thinking clearly here, Like he's just he just thinks. Like
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to say this appropriately. I can't
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: say it, say it. I was just gonna say he's
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: just thinking with his dick.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: He's a chauvinist.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, I could have said it that way.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: He definitely seems that way for sure.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: So it would be in August seventeenth, nineteen seventy three,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: that police believed they had enough motive and evidence and
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: arrested Peter for murdering his wife.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Wow brutal.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: So it would only be five days later later, however,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: that he would be released on bail as he maintained
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: his innocence. Now, this obviously doesn't mean he's off the
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: hook though, he's still being charged, and it would be
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: about a year later that he would appear in court
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: with his team of highly paid lawyers.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Gross.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he was confident and still maintained his innocence
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: in the process. He even had I mean his alibis.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: He was out shopping with the family and friends, right,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: she was at home alone, but he planned that. Are
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you sure? How could it have been him? Right?
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, money can buy you a lot of.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Things, it can. But Devil's advocate here, he does have alibis.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: He was out of the house. He did not kill
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: his wife.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: No, he physically did not kill his wife.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: No. So what do you think happened?
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. He had come up with some
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: sort of a plan. He had a month to get
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: rid of her, and I don't think he obviously wasn't
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: going to do the dirty work himself, so he hired somebody.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, hit man, yeah, murder for hire.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, he paid someone in money that they would murder
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: his wife for him.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Okay, gotcha, that's my thought.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, just wondering where your head was at.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: So, as Peter came in with his highly paid team
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: of lawyers, the prosecution, though facing this dream team of lawyers,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: also came very well prepared. So a man by the
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: name of Saba Siloghe was one of Peter's friends. He
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: was also immigrant, an immigrant into Canada. Okay, Peter's known
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: him for a long time. He was I guess if
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: you could say, the ace up their sleeve. He was
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a surprise witness to the stand. He testified to having
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: conversations with Peter about plans to kill his wife on
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: multiple occasions. For example, some plans were tampering with her
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: car or electrocuting her in the pool. Holy shit, Now
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: this was only the tip of the iceberg. Though, just
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: saying oh, yeah, I had these conversations is one thing.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Where's the evidence right? Well, you see, after Christine's death,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Saba was actually working with the police and agreed to
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: wear a wire on visits to see Peter. The prosecution
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: had the evidence they needed. In one of the conversations,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: police were able to record Peter saying how he is
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: confident they will stay ahead of the police, but he
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: is upset with the hitman for killing Christine in a
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: way that he couldn't play it off as an accident.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Really, yes, recorded on tape played in the courtroom.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Gosh, that is so disturbing to me. Yep, I feel
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: like Okay, It's the main thing that's so disturbing is
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: it's like money is money, like whatever, Like are you
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: literally gonna like not like this. This is like the
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: mother of your kid, Like you can't just like divorce
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: her and like give her money and like go on
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: your merry way, Like you literally have to like murder her. Yeah,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: that's what's really disturbing.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: You want another disturbing piece that actually I didn't even
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: put in here because it's kind of like benign information,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: but just to kind of like a to really show
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: what kind of person he is, I guess before the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: trial actually occurred. So between Christine's death and the trial,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: his new love Marina had moved to Canada.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: And she's just waiting.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: She Yeah, so she moved to Canada after the Christine's death.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: She moved into the house where Christine had died and
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: was living with Peter in said house.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, I don't even know how she could do
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: that because obviously this person's like a monster. Yeah, Like
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: because lots of times, like if you're say, for example,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: like you're you're a cheater and you cheat on like
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: a significant other, the chances are much higher that you're
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: all going to do that with your next significant other
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: as well. Kind of like they say, a cheater is
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: a cheater, right yep? So like fuck, if I was,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I'd be like running for the goddamn hills, Like you
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: just murdered his wife.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's to say he's not going to do the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: same to you.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah when he finds another model that he likes better.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Huh.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: So there was another witness testimony that would actually tell
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: how Peter had hired a specific hit man, a Hungarian
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: hitman called the Duck, to do the job. The Duck,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: so the Duck was a known hit man and police
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: knew who he was. However, he had moved back to
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Hungary and had passed away prior to the police actually
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: being able to catch up and question him about it. Okay,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: so that unfortunately was a dead end. They weren't able
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: to talk to him about that. So the case was
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: in court for a total of eleven weeks and was
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: a sensation in the national news headlines. The jury deliberated
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: for almost forty eight hours before they came back with
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: their vertical How do you think they they What do
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: you think they came back?
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I'm literally still just thinking the duck, the duck. Could
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: you not have thought of a better name than that?
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Why not? I mean, if you think of it in
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: like he's gonna hit you in the head, you better duck?
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: No, Okay, never mind, Still not good?
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, forty eight hours. Al so I feel like
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: he's not that long.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Well, it's two full days.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: I guess that's too.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming two full days of deliberation, not including breaks
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: and sleeps and stuff.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: That's my assumption on that guilty for show.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, he was found guilty of murder for hire. Okay, yes,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: so he was sentenced to life in prison.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Yes. However, there are some pieces to this puzzle that
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: we still do need to discuss. Even though that he
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: was sentenced to life in prison he's found guilty, there's
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of little more pieces that we gotta we
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: gotta talk about here. So that same friend of Peter's
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: who testified against him in court, Saba, you know, the
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: guy who like the whole wire tap thing. Yeah, he
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: reported that Christine had actually originally approached him before Peter.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: So Saba was not a small guy. He was a
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: frequent gym goer, and kind of somewhat of like a
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: bodybuilder type guy. Christine approached him offered to pay him
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars to go and break Peter's arms and legs.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, but he's Peter's friend though, so that's kind of weird.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's okay, I thought that there was I was
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: going to think. I was thinking that Sabba sorry, yep,
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: was the father of the baby.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: Oh immediately, that's what where.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: I thought this was maybe going.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: But no, okay, no, So yeah, she had actually approached
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: before Peter had talked about killing his wife.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Huh. Okay, so she was thinking making some moves here.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, So there's also rumors of her trying to find
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: hitmen as well on Peter.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Wow, that is a healthy marriage, so definition right.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: So put it this way. If she approaches Saba and
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: it's like, I'll pay you to go break my husband's
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: arms and legs, but then he turns around and tells Peter, yeah,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: she's trying to pay me to break your arms and legs.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe that it's that was the fuel that started this
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: whole fire. Maybe Peter found out about it, her trying
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: to use his own money to have him injured. Like this,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: maybe that's what made him finally go through with like
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: having her killed.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so maybe before he had found that out, But
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: this got this Sabba guy's almost like playing both sides
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: in a sense. It seems I don't all of a
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: sudden I don't really like him.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: But is he though or is he just speaking? He
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: went in court and told and tell and testified he
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: wore a wire for authorities. I guess how is he
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: playing both sides?
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Well, he was listening to the wife and then went
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: and told Peter what her intentions were. But then now
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: he's also listening to Peter's ill intentions.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, put it this way. What if she never went
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: to Saba for a hitman to hire, but if she
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: just went to Saba being like break his arms and legs.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: And He's like, oh shit, I gotta tell Peter that
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: she's trying to do this. So he goes to Peter's like, yeah,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: she's trying to get your arms and legs broken. She
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: offered me money, and then Peter's like, are you fucking
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: kidding me? I'm gonna hire a hitman. I'm gonna get
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: her fucking killed. I'm gonna electrocutor in the pool or
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: fuck with your car or whatever. And then Saba was like,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: holy shit, now you're trying to kill her. I'm going
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: to go to police because this is just way out
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: of control.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, I take it back.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: What if that's how it played out. I don't know,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: that's just kind of how I see it.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that could be, that makes sense, okay, Okay, I'm
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: cool with him again.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: With him again? Okay. I mean, regardless of how this
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: did play out, one way or another, Peter is behind
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: bars for life. He did hire someone to kill his wife. However,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: he wouldn't stay there. What he would be released on
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: parole in nineteen eighty three.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Well why doesn't really matter because shortly thereafter he tried
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: to have his cousin's son kidnapped and killed.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: So he needed to be stayed in like stay captain jail?
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: What the heck?
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, So Peter's daughter was being cared for by his cousin, okay,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and his cousin was also looking after his after Peter's
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: financial situation and stuff while he was in jail. So
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Peter didn't think his daughter had been raised properly and
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: that his funds had been mismanaged in his absence. So
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: he wanted to gain revenge on basically a lack of
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: due care, and so he tried to have his cousin's
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: son kidnapped and killed.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Whoa, yeah, this is really fucked.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. However, Peter was caught in the process and would
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: receive another two life sentences for his crimes. Okay, so
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: a total of three life sentences now under his belt now.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty eight, Peter again tried to orchestrate a
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: similar plot, this time on his former.
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Lawyer while he's in jail.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, from behind bars, he tried to hire someone to
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: kill his daughter his Oh no, not his own daughter,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: lawyer's daughter.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, no, I couldn't take that if it was his
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: own daughter.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: No, he tried to hire someone to kill his lawyer's daughter.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: Okay yeah, but again Peter was caught and he received
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: another two life sentences. Wow, for a grand total of
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: five life sentences behind bar soly shit.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, he's not learning.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: No, Peter still claims his innocence and says he never
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: hired someone. He would never hire someone to hurt his wife.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, yeah, you're really really showing that.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: After being caught another two more times, like right, and
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: it's there was another judge that was kind of going
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: on record. I never took the quote. I wasn't going
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: to talk about it either, but it's it's kind of
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: perfect to actually talk about it.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: The judge is talking about how many psychopaths, as they
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: get older, they kind of mellow out. However, with Peter,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: it seems to be reversed. The older he gets, the
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: crazier he seems to become.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Hmm, so who know, like gosh, if you're aware of him,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: like fucking watch your back. Yeah, like he's probably gonna
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: be sending a hit man.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: After Yeah, we might have someone after us from this episode.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Uh no, that's terrifying.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: No, he's got no power, he's he's nothing, He's forever
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: behind bars. He is apparently one of like Canada's most
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: notorious murderers. Like some brutal shit taken very serious.
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: I do have to say though, that is a I've
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: on our podcast heard many people do Okay, what he's
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: doing is terrible, like terrible, but we've had stories where
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: people do like a lot worse and they don't have
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: that kind of time sentence that they're facing that's true,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: which I don't love, but yeah, I just need to.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I needed to get that off my chest.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Well, sometimes justice is in just unfortunately, don't get me wrong. Yeah,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: he should spend his life behind bars. Totally agree. However,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: there are some people who probably should as well, and
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: they get much lighter sentences.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, case, can we just recap for one moment here? Yes,
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: so he went he's trying, So he went ahead and
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: he murdered his wife with a hit man. Yes, she
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: was also trying to do some shit to him, but
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: was too slow allegedly allegedly, Okay, allegedly allegedly. So then
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: he's in jail. He has his cousin looking after his
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: kid and his money, but he thinks that they're doing
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: a shitty job. So then he puts another hit man
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: on the cousin's kid. Yes, but that's the kid lived right, Yes, okay,
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: So then he also now is after his lawyer's kid.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: Is always the kids? Why not just going after the lawyer?
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I mean I guess i'd be that'd
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: be quite.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: A go after the loved one.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, okay, and that kid was fine.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Too, yes as far as I know.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, So who the fuck's.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Next hopefully he is.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, good gosh. Yeah, the fact that he steals that
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: kind of power in jail and stuff is kind of scary.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Well, money does a lot, right, Yeah, so I don't
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: think he's ever going to be able to access his
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: money ever again.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Though money is kind of evil actually at.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Time, it corrupts a lot. It can do it can
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: do good, but it easily crupts people. I mean, money
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: is the readable evil, they say, right, so yeah, so
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that is Yeah, that's the episode.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that would have been a rollercoaster and a half
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: to research, Like, I don't think. I mean, I also
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: can understand why that took you longer than usual, because
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: I would be like, what the fuck am I doing
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: with my life researching this case? Like it was all
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: over the place in a little bit nuts.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and like I said at the very beginning, like
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: people strive for so many things, and yeah, once they
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: get there, they almost seem unsatisfied. And that's exactly what
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: this was. He knew what his family used to have,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: and he strived for that or strove forward or how
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: you want to I don't know the proper fucking term.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: My apologies, but he made his way to that, and
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: he actually far beyond and exceeded as far as I
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: can tell, and then he just wasn't happy.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good intro with this one.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now there is a butt because Marina. Some say
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: that was his original love, and he even was confessing
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: to some people before like, yeah, I love this girl,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Christine was my second choice.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Marina turned me down. So maybe he just
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: never was fully happy because he never did get what
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: he wanted. But I also have that feeling that because
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: he did have money, he did have a beautiful wife,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: he did have a kid, he did have it all.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Even if he did get marine, I still don't think
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: he would be happy.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Probably not, No, there'd be something else.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the grasses, it's not always greener on the other side.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: And as I said in the beginning, it's often the
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: journey rather than the destination that people enjoy. We don't
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: tend to notice it, but yeah, the excitement building up
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: for going on vacation, and then you're on vacation, you
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: just kind of sit there like, ah, it's nice that
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: excitement is gone.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because then in the blink of it, it's just
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: over again.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you know, it's like, I'm ready to
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: go home, want to sleep in my own bed, you know,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: those sort of things start your vacation wasn't quite what
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: you thought it was.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: Jeez.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the journey that just seems such a downer thing.
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: No, it's all about the journey. It's looking forward to
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: what you can do next. It's working towards your next goal.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, something to look forward to and stuff.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Is important, exactly. And I think Peter lost himself on
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: his journey.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: No shit, No, I mean yeah, I just feel like,
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's so much easier to be like on
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: the outside and like thinking it through, maybe a little
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: bit more without emotions and stuff. But I'm like, there
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: could have been some better ways to get out of
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: that for you.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would think, I would really think. But
• 53:06
