    Manling Williams couldn’t sleep one night so she went out for a drive and a cigarette. When she came home, her family was gone. At least that’s her story. Here’s the rest of it.

  • 130 • The Pitch Pine Murders
    Feb 28 2025

    patreon.com/darktopic for exclusives.

    From 2009 through 2013, Pitch Pine Crescent of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, would be visited by investigators reviewing a sudden, suspicious death. It wasn’t the streets fault, it was the nicest house of the affluent area that continued to summon investigators. Three calls of potential murder was what it took to finally send the message that something was very wrong here.
