The Dark Side of Santa Claus: Bruce McArthur's Holiday Horrors
Ойын-сауық
This very mysterious case was suggested to us by a subscriber.
He’s considered the most prolific murderer in Toronto and Canada's oldest known serial killer. He targeted men who-much like himself-had to hide who they were from their families.
Then he buried them with a smile while some innocent couple watched him do their landscaping, all while describing him as jolly, cheerful, and kind-just like Santa Claus.
What are your thoughts on this case? Have you heard of other similar cases around the holidays?
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. You just never know the people around you. Happy holidays folks.

The fact that he was a traveling salesmen makes me think that a lot more deaths are connected to him than the ones we know about.

Definitely!! 💯
Anytime there is an association between something that is supposed to be happy and a tragedy, it makes it worse. Santa is a happy thing. Creepy.
As a retired professional horticulturist, this guy makes me sick. I cant imagine homeowners knowing they had dead bodies right there within eyesight.
Thank you, Chris. As a Canadian, i found that your research was very well done on this case. These men were all very vulnerable for the most part. Bruce Mc Arthur preyed on them over a number of years with no one having a clue to what he was up to, which is really scary when you come to think of it. Though Canada does not have the death penalty, the worst of the worst will remain in prison for the rest of their lives. A little aside, the couple whose planters were used to hide the remains of these poor men, decided not to move away afterwards. This had been their dream house where they planned to live out their golden years. They decided to stay and bring peace and love back to their home and garden.
Thanks for telling me this story so succinctly and well. I live right near Toronto, and remember hearing the story a lot. But never as well told as you. Chris, you are amazing.
So great to see you Chris!! Please give a hello to Amy!! I've been recovering from the inevitable. Eight months of trying to save my leg from a botched surgery finally defeated me. I had a below the knee amputation two weeks ago. I'm trying to adjust and that means catching up with my True Crime Recaps. 🎄🧑🎄❄️☃️ Goodness!! Even Santa isn't safe! I'd love to try and understand what makes these repulsive people tick. It's deplorable!! Great recap 😊

I remember this story well.. So sad what these innocent home owners never knew. I was born and raised in Toronto so its nice to see stories be covered. If you have a chance do one of Paul Bernardo and Karla Holmolka if you haven't already

A travelling SOCK salesman! 😂 I wonder if or what he used to model them. 😮 And then Chris says "the gayberhood"...😂😂 If that's a common term, ive never heard it before. Love ya Chris.! You're awesome at this. ❤
Chris, you told this disturbing and horrendous story accurately and properly. I lived in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) at the time this was happening and when learning of Bruce’s guilt. I honestly thought that I knew exactly what happened from the constant police and news coverage. Surprisingly, Chris just schooled me on aspects I wasn’t aware of. Cheers 🍻 to Chris and Amy for there brilliant, accurate and spot on analysis telling of not only this case, but every case they cover! ❤ from Shannon PS WTF is a traveling sock salesman? Must admit that I literally lmao hearing that! Must admit I’d never heard of this career before!
Thanks for the recap. Evil people are found in every community.
Yikes! Never heard this one. I did notice it's another Bruce in a Santa costume. Apparently they are not to be trusted! ❤
Omg this is the first one I’ve seen from u guys that’s from Canada and this case was only an hour away from me. Thanks for yet another good video. Happy holidays everyone
Good evening, TCR Fam. “Happy holidays”, indeed, Chris. So… Bruce McArthur… Well, he was most likely was killing gay men way back in the ‘70’s, for the very reasons you stated in the narrative, Chris. So, it really wouldn’t surprise me at all. And hopefully, he’ll die in prison. He should never, EVER be let out, under no circumstances whatsoever. Thanks for the video, Chris. Be genuine and take care of one another, TCR Fam.
Never heard of this one! ❤❤👍....gotta keep a close eye on your landscaper! 😉😉
Amazing channel excellent work as always 💙❤️💫💫💫💫🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗thank you
I love your recaps. Ive never got to hear this story. Great job 👏
Merry Christmas ⛄🎁 from Australia 🦘

This is very close to home. I use to party in the village
I am so sorry.
Wow. Children relatives. Sick
So he's basically a John Wayne Gacy2.0
we can't dismiss his parent's & their religion making him the sicko he was.
Oh yea hi Vern💕
Thank you for bringing this case to light. It still bothers Torontonians that this happened here. It was poorly handled by police for a long time before they took the concerns of the community seriously.
So much easier to get away with killings when your victims are living a seceret life.
Hey Chris! 🩷

Hey there!
This is no bs my buddy I work with was best friends which his kids. He was freaked when he heard their father was a serial killer.
he murdered my neighbours good friend Andrew Kinsman. very surreal. i have the book Missing From The Village and i tried reading it but found it really grim as i live in Toronto as well, im gonna try to give another go tho
457K..... we need to share people! to help them to get the 500K they totally deserve. (sorry bad english)
I do remember hearing about the story and as another Canadian I also agree he did a very good job. I really wish homophobia would end.

It a shame that gay people have fought so hard to make ut ok to love whoever tou want to have trashed today in America same as black people Mexican or ant other cultures and women all being ripped away by bigots. Sorry for rsnting but this all angers me. Love is love and spread love not hate. Love you Chris and Amy. Be ki d and be safe. 💕💕💕💕
Jolly fat man aha 😮😢💔💔💔💔👿😡🙏
Ya know everyone has their differences and opinions but u just DON'T go out and kill people. I guess by the end we will know why he did ALL this
Chrissy poo please change the background the blue kills the eyes also you had it for years change it up homie
So the parents religious hatred of homosexuals didn't play any part in this?
The name Santa is really Satan. Do your history 💯. Do a video on the real history of Christmas. I'm waiting
