This Halloween, True North True Crime takes you back to June 1898 at what was once the Empire Hotel, where the tragic love story of Charles Kincaid and Belle Adams ended in bloodshed. On that fateful night, Charles, clutching his bleeding neck, stumbled into the street, followed by Belle, razor in hand, crying, “Don’t die!”

Now an office building, workers report eerie encounters—unexplained sounds and ghostly figures in the halls—believing the spirits of Charles and Belle still linger. We’re joined by haunted tour guide Gill Millam from Discover the Past, who shares chilling stories of these hauntings and reveals why this tale has left its mark on one of Canada’s most haunted cities.

🚨 Major update regarding a black t-shirt that was found by search teams in the days after Nick went missing - the RCMP have confirmed that this black H&M brand t-shirt 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 belong to Nick Marion. 🚨

Nicholas Marion, a 38-year-old man, went missing from a house in Youbou, BC, on June 30, 2024, after telling his wife he was going for a walk at around 6:30 a.m. He left without his phone, wallet, or ID and was last seen wearing a black t-shirt, black pants, and black Retro Jordan 11 shoes. There have been unconfirmed sightings of Nick on the day he disappeared near various locations, including Pine Point Campsite and Cowan Road, with a final sighting on July 1, at 4:30 p.m., on a beach. His wife, Dory Marion, has expressed deep concern, citing his recent mental health challenges following his mother's death and dramatic behavioral changes. Despite formal searches being called off, Nick's family continue to organize volunteer efforts to find him across Vancouver Island and beyond. Nicholas is described as 6 feet tall, 170 pounds, with numerous tattoos featuring Egyptian and spiritual symbols on his arms.

Join us for this two part episode where we speak to Nicholas' wife Dory, his sister Cola, and his father Carl.
