How Toronto police made an arrest in two cold cases

Guest: Wendy Gillis, crime and policing reporter

The Toronto police cold case unit has announced the arrest of Joseph George Sutherland, 60, for allegedly committing the murders of local women Erin Gilmour and Susan Tice in 1983. After 2008 testing of evidence confirmed one man was responsible for both murders, advances in genetic sequencing and forensic genealogy would lead police to arrest Sutherland in Moosonee, Ont. The charges against Sutherland have not been proven in court.

This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
