    The fact that he was a traveling salesmen makes me think that a lot more deaths are connected to him than the ones we know about.

    Anytime there is an association between something that is supposed to be happy and a tragedy, it makes it worse. Santa is a happy thing. Creepy.

    Thank you, Chris. As a Canadian, i found that your research was very well done on this case. These men were all very vulnerable for the most part. Bruce Mc Arthur preyed on them over a number of years with no one having a clue to what he was up to, which is really scary when you come to think of it. Though Canada does not have the death penalty, the worst of the worst will remain in prison for the rest of their lives. A little aside, the couple whose planters were used to hide the remains of these poor men, decided not to move away afterwards. This had been their dream house where they planned to live out their golden years. They decided to stay and bring peace and love back to their home and garden.

    So great to see you Chris!! Please give a hello to Amy!! I've been recovering from the inevitable. Eight months of trying to save my leg from a botched surgery finally defeated me. I had a below the knee amputation two weeks ago. I'm trying to adjust and that means catching up with my True Crime Recaps. 🎄🧑‍🎄❄️☃️
    Goodness!! Even Santa isn't safe! I'd love to try and understand what makes these repulsive people tick. It's deplorable!! Great recap 😊

    Chris, you told this disturbing and horrendous story accurately and properly. I lived in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) at the time this was happening and when learning of Bruce’s guilt. I honestly thought that I knew exactly what happened from the constant police and news coverage. Surprisingly, Chris just schooled me on aspects I wasn’t aware of. Cheers 🍻 to Chris and Amy for there brilliant, accurate and spot on analysis telling of not only this case, but every case they cover!

    Good evening, TCR Fam.
    “Happy holidays”, indeed, Chris.
    So… Bruce McArthur…
    Well, he was most likely was killing gay men way back in the ‘70’s, for the very reasons you stated in the narrative, Chris. So, it really wouldn’t surprise me at all.
    And hopefully, he’ll die in prison. He should never, EVER be let out, under no circumstances whatsoever.
    Thanks for the video, Chris.
    Be genuine and take care of one another, TCR Fam.
