A Chilling Look at the Lyle Ford Case

The Unsolved Murders of Toronto’s Sex Trade Workers: A Mystery Awaits in Toronto’s Darkest Corners

In the gritty streets of 1980s and 1990s Toronto, a shadow hunted the vulnerable. Five sex trade workers, their lives snuffed out by strangulation, their bodies moved under the cover of night. Were these brutal murders the work of a single, cunning serial killer? Ontario Cold Cases - Canada's True Crime Podcast unravels the haunting case of Lyle Ford and four others in a gripping episode that will leave you questioning: who was the predator stalking Toronto’s underbelly?

Lyle Ford’s body was found on a crisp September morning in 1990, discarded in Crombie Park. Strangled, sexually assaulted, and marked by chilling bite wounds, her story is one of tragedy and unanswered questions. DNA evidence failed to crack the case, leaving investigators grasping at shadows. Could convicted killer Gregory George Ashford, whose chilling diary confessed, “Killing didn’t seem so wrong,” be the key? Or does Daniel Harvey Atkinson, a predator linked to multiple assaults, hold the answers? With FBI profiler John Douglas pointing to a pattern of weekend killings, the truth may be more sinister than anyone imagined.

Dive into the heart-pounding details, from Ashford’s cross-country murder spree to Atkinson’s menacing green pickup truck, flagged by those who knew the streets best. This episode of Ontario Cold Cases pulls no punches, exploring every clue, theory, and haunting possibility.
