The Unsolved Murder of Lisa Anstey A Murder Unsolved. A City in Shadows. A Truth Waiting to Be Uncovered. In the gritty heart of Toronto’s underbelly, 21-year-old Lisa Anstey fought to survive. A First Nations mother of two, known as “Jemma” or “Terri,” she was a fierce spirit trapped in a world of addiction and danger, working the streets since age 11. On May 12, 1997, her life was brutally cut short. Found strangled in a dark laneway near the notorious Street City, her body bore the scars of trauma—and a missing shoe that hinted at a killer’s chilling motives. Was it a trophy? A careless mistake? Or a message? Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast dives deep into Lisa’s unsolved murder, unraveling a web of secrets in a city plagued by violence against sex trade workers. With no witnesses in the chaotic homeless camp and a DNA profile—a white male with light eyes and blonde or red hair—leading nowhere, the case grows colder. Was it Peter Dale MacDonald, a known strangler linked to similar crimes? Or could it be the shadowy figure of a corrupt cop, K.L., rumored to prey on the very women he swore to protect? Why was Lisa’s body moved to a bustling laneway? Who knew the streets well enough to vanish without a trace? As the podcast explores the haunting murders of nine other women in 1990s Toronto, one question burns: will justice ever find Lisa Anstey?
