About this listen

 Who killed John Doyle Jr. — and why? In 1984, 14-year-old John Doyle Jr. disappeared from his home in the rural community of Mitchell Settlement, New Brunswick. Weeks later, his body was found. The case was never solved. No one was arrested. For decades, no one spoke openly about what happened. Up North is a Canadian true crime podcast investigating one of the country’s forgotten cold cases — an unsolved murder that has haunted a small community for more than four decades. It’s a story of a missing child, a tight-knit town silenced by fear and shame, and a family’s fight for truth. I’m Derek Hamilton. I grew up here. And I made a promise to someone close to me that I’d uncover what really happened. What I discovered was… shocking. This is Up North — a true crime podcast rooted in rural Canada, where secrets have festered for over 40 years. A Derek Hamilton and Podium Podcasts Production. Special thanks to GGRP Sound. Launching late June 2025. The conversation begins June 19th at a long-overdue town hall in Jaquet River, New Brunswick.2025 Podium Podcast Company Social Sciences True Crime

    Jun 15 2025

    A small town. A missing boy. A silence that lasted more than 40 years.

    In 1984, 14-year-old John Doyle Jr. disappeared from his home in the rural community of Mitchell Settlement, New Brunswick. Weeks later, his body was found. The case remains unsolved. No one was arrested. For decades, no one spoke openly about what happened.

    This teaser introduces Up North — a Canadian true crime podcast investigating one of the country’s forgotten cold cases. Hosted by Derek Hamilton, who grew up in the very community where the murder took place, the series explores the lingering impact of an unsolved murder, the silence that followed, and a long-overdue reckoning.

    What really happened to John Doyle Jr.? And why has it taken more than 40 years for the truth to surface?


    The conversation begins June 19th, 2025, at a long-overdue town hall in Jaquet River, New Brunswick.

    Up North is a Derek Hamilton and Podium Podcasts Production, launching late June 2025.
