True North True Crime

For years, Cody Dempster’s case remained unresolved. Then, in 2018, the file was taken over by a cold case unit, and investigators narrowed in on a suspect. But despite significant developments, no arrest was ever made. In this episode, we uncover who police believe is responsible for Cody’s death—and why they were never brought to trial. With insight from Cody’s best friend Alex, his older brother Ryan, and the officers who worked the case, we piece together the story of a boy who never got justice—and a family who is speaking out. -- This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.

In the spring of 2011, the community of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, was shaken by the suspicious death of 16-year-old Cody Dempster. He was found unresponsive in a downtown alley and later pronounced dead—his passing eventually ruled a homicide. The RCMP initially had suspects, but despite early leads, the case went cold. For over a decade, Cody’s family and friends remained silent. Now, for the first time, they’re speaking out. In this episode, we revisit Cody’s final moments, the early investigation, and the long fight for justice. -- This podcast is recorded on the territories of the Coast Salish people.
