True North True Crime

In Part One, we shared Aspen Pallot’s vibrant life and the devastating impact of intimate partner violence. Now, in Part Two, we follow her family’s painful journey through the Canadian justice system—a process that felt cold, slow, and disconnected. The trial hinged on intent: was Solaris Dey guilty of second-degree murder or manslaughter? In the end, he was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to just two years in custody. Then, in March 2024, Aspen’s family was retraumatized when Solaris was linked to another violent crime. This episode examines the court’s decision, the system’s failures, and the ongoing toll on those left behind. -- This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.

This week on True North True Crime, we’re joined by Jordan from The Nighttime Podcast to examine the troubling and still-unfolding case of Lily and Jack Sullivan, two young siblings who vanished from their rural property in Lansdowne Station, Nova Scotia, on the morning of May 2, 2025. According to their parents, six-year-old Lily and four-year-old Jack may have wandered off while the couple was napping with their 16-month-old child inside the home. A massive search was launched, involving helicopters, drones, police dogs, and over 160 trained volunteers covering more than five square kilometers of dense terrain. Despite extensive efforts, no trace of the children has been found. While the RCMP have been issuing frequent and detailed updates, public interest has fueled intense speculation and online misinformation. In this episode, we team up with Jordan to walk through the confirmed timeline, clear up what’s true and what’s not, and explore how digital discourse can complicate already delicate investigations. -- This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.

Aspen Pallot was 19 years old when she was murdered by her boyfriend, 22-year-old Solaris Day, on October 3, 2018, in Richmond, British Columbia. In this first episode of a two-part series, we focus on Aspen’s life—who she was, how she loved, and the deep bond she shared with her family. Aspen’s loved ones stood by her as she navigated a relationship that had become increasingly heavy. They extended care and compassion not just to Aspen, but also to Solaris—a young man who would ultimately cause unimaginable harm. Through interviews with Aspen’s grandmother Roxanne and her uncle Randy, we hear about the vibrant, loving person she was—and how her loss continues to shape their lives. -- This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.

On October 28, 2023, beloved actor Matthew Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home. Initially reported as an accidental drowning, new evidence has emerged that suggests something far more sinister. In this episode, we examine the circumstances surrounding Perry’s final days, the details from multiple indictments, and the people now facing criminal charges in connection with his death. Perry was open about his struggles with addiction and spent much of his later life trying to help others find recovery. Yet in his final days, he was taken advantage of by those who should have helped him. This episode also stands as a tribute to one of Canada’s most famous actors, a man who brought joy to millions through his work and whose legacy extends far beyond the screen. -- This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.
