17. Honour The Badge But Fear The Slasher

This week is a hometown special with two stories from Windsor, Ontario. First, Brett tells the story of Sr. Constable John Atkinson, who is the only member of the Windsor Police Service to be killed in the line of duty. We follow the chain of events leading up to John's tragic death on May 5, 2006 and subsequent legal trial and punishment phase for the murderer, Nikkolas Brennan. In part two, William takes us back to 1945-46, when Windsor had it's very own serial killer, "The Slasher". A historic case which shines a light on the rampant discrimination and homophobia in our city prevalent to the time period. Who was The Slasher? Find out this week on Wild, Wicked & Weird!
