The Tragic Case of Susan Siegel and a Potential Serial Killer

The Tragic Case of Susan Siegel and a Potential Serial Killer

A City Stalked by Shadows. A Killer Still at Large.

In the gritty underbelly of 1980s Toronto, a predator hunted the vulnerable. Susan Siegel, a 20-year-old sex trade worker, vanished into the night of December 16, 1984, only to be found strangled and abandoned by desolate railroad tracks. Her murder, chillingly similar to four others, remains unsolved—haunting clues pointing to a young man in a small truck, a $50,000 reward, and no answers. Was Susan’s death the work of a lone killer, or part of a sinister pattern that claimed multiple lives?

Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast rips open the files on Susan’s case and four other strangulation murders, uncovering eerie connections. Two suspects emerge: Gregory George Ashford, a convicted killer whose chilling diary confesses to murders across Canada, and Daniel Harvey Atkinson, a landscaper with a violent history. With insights from FBI serial killer expert John Douglas, the podcast reveals a terrifying truth: these weekend slayings point to a predator—or predators—lurking in Toronto’s shadows.
