This Case Was So Sinister It Shook The Most Seasoned Detectives

On the evening of July 3rd, 2012, Laura Babcock got into a car with a man she had known for years and was never seen again. No body. No grave. No place for her family to grieve. Because by the time anyone realised something was wrong, what remained of Laura had already been reduced to ash inside an industrial animal incinerator on a private farm in Ontario. And the man who put her there? He was a millionaire aviation heir who owned multiple properties, flew his own helicopter, and sat down at a Starbucks three weeks later to tell her best friend she wasn't worth looking for. Laura Babcock was 23 years old. A University of Toronto graduate with a degree in English and drama. A daughter. A friend. A woman who called her mother every single day and carried her little white dog Lacey absolutely everywhere. A woman who told her doctor she was afraid no one loved her — while the people who loved her were desperately waiting for her to call. What followed was one of the most chilling murder cases in Canadian history — built on a text message that said "I'm on a mission, back in 1 hour," a renamed iPad, a rush mattress order, sixty-five handwritten letters from a prison cell, a rap performed while a body was still burning, and a man who believed he was smarter than everyone around him. He almost was. Her name was Laura Babcock. Don't forget it.
