From a family discovered beneath a garage floor in 1959 Stettler to the 2005 Mayerthorpe ambush of four RCMP officers, from an Edmonton filmmaker who turned a scripted “kill room” into real murder to a highway execution near Claresholm in 2011—this episode traces four Alberta cases that shattered the province’s sense of safety. Drawing on records, trial testimony, and survivor accounts, Northern Crimes examines how violence emerged in ordinary places, how investigators pursued fragile leads across vast distances, and how communities have carried the trauma long after the headlines faded.

Who killed Dexter Stefonek, and why? From strange graffiti in a rest stop bathroom to a long trail of dead ends, this is the haunting story of The Montana Rest Stop Murder—a case that underscores how quickly an ordinary journey can turn into a deadly mystery.
