In this episode, we unravel the story behind a recent high-risk offender release notice issued by the Nova Scotia RCMP. The notice revealed that Douglas Worth, a man convicted of the brutal 1987 rape, murder, and decapitation of 12-year-old Trina Campbell in Ontario, has been released from custody and is now living in Nova Scotia. We unpack the details of Worth’s horrific crime, the investigation that brought him to justice, and the complex questions his release raises about community safety and the Canadian parole system.
