A podcast looking to shed some light on some of the Peace Region’s greatest true crime and paranormal mysteries is on track to release in the new year.
Lindsay Janes, a receptionist by day and a true crime buff by night says she is hoping for her podcast- “Disturbing the Peace” will invite listeners to educate themselves on decades-old cold cases and paranormal activity in the Peace Region.
“All of the stories will be coming from the Peace Region, both in Alberta and in BC,” Janes says. “We’re mostly doing stories from the past like 20 years or over because we didn’t want to do anything too recent and talk about investigations that are maybe ongoing,”
Janes adds that she has utilized numerous local resources in her endeavours, including the South Peace Regional Archives, the Grande Prairie Public Library, and local art galleries to research and unearth some secrets of the Peace Country.
The podcast is set to debut with five episodes banked so far, but Janes says she is putting the call out to any Peace Region residents with unexplainable or interesting stories to send them her way.
“We’re hoping to find maybe family members that were involved, maybe even people who were in the media back then when the story was a major case,” she says. “[And] I’d love to expand my web a little bit and explore some cases in those surrounding areas.”
As a Grande Prairie local, Janes says she grew up with an interest in local true crime and paranormal phenomena; however, she says she hopes to educate some Grande Prairie “transplants” in the history of the region through unique and unexplainable stories.
“I would love to be able to spark some curiosity to people who are newer to the area,” she says. “I think it’s important for people to know what’s available to them,”
Disturbing the Peace is set to be available on most streaming platforms after its launch in the new year.
