Provincial Police are getting in on the true crime craze with a new Youtube series.
The OPP has launched a multi-part video series called “Serial Instinct: Through an Investigative Lens.”
They are framing the series as a look into the investigation behind some of the most prolific serial killer cases in Ontario.
“The depiction of monster serial killers on screen and in the media is easy to find, but what about the stories behind the investigation,” read a release from OPP.
The series will include interviews with detectives and forensic analysts and officers involved in well-known serial criminal cases.
The first video is about Dellen Millard, who was convicted in the deaths of Hamilton man Tim Bosma, his ex-girlfriend Laura Babcock and his father Wayne Millard.
A description for the episode says it focuses on how “digital evidence of cell phones, browser history and social media posts linked three murders to Dellen Millard.”
It features interviews with retired Detective Insp. Dave Hillman who was a Major Case Manager within the OPP Criminal Investigations Bureau and retired Detective Sergeant Jim Falconer who worked in Digital Forensics.
The other two videos will cover the case of serial killer nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer, who was convicted of killing eight of her patients while working in long-term care homes, and Basil Borutski, who killed three women in the span of an hour in the Ottawa Valley back in 2015.
