Joel Zimbalatti
In Sparwood, B.C., tragedy struck when Joel Zimbalatti was found dead in his mobile home. Despite months passing since the incident, the details surrounding his death remain veiled in mystery. While one individual fled the scene before authorities arrived on Oct. 11, another, identified as "Slim" (real name Joshua Freeman), has emerged as a crucial person of interest. Joshua isn't the only person of interest though, a second man was taken into custody and released, and has since been uncooperative with the investigation.Joel's mother Toni and his best friend Chris are pleading anyone with information on Slim's whereabouts to come forward.Slim, described as a tall, thin white man with distinctive sideburns, was last sighted in the Kimberly area but is believed to have ties to the Okanagan region. With Slim's knowledge crucial to unravelling the events leading to Joel's death, authorities urge caution but implore anyone with information to contact them immediately.To anyone with information regarding Joshua Freeman, the other person of interest, or the case in general, please call 1-877-987-8477. If sighted, do not approach; instead, contact authorities promptly by dialling 911.--Music Composed by: Sayer Roberts - https://soundcloud.com/user-135673977 // shorturl.at/mFPZ0Subscribe to TNTC+ on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/TNTCJoin our Patreon: www.patreon.com/tntcpodMerch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/true-north-true-crime?ref_id=24376Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tntcpod/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tntcpod Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

26. MISSING: COLTEN FLEURY
On May 27, 2021, Canadians collectively sat back in horror at the discovery of the bodies of 215 Indigenous children. Their remains were found in an unmarked burial site on the grounds of a now-closed residential school in Kamloops British Columbia. As we live in the dark shadow of this news, a 16-year-old First Nations boy has been missing for 3 years. The young teen was released from Government care to his mother on May 2nd, 2018. The very next day he seemed to just vanish. He has never been found. Stories like the one we are about to tell have lead many people to ask if a comparison can be made with the history of Residential Schools and the present-day system of the Government apprehension of Indigenous children. This episode is not just a story about a missing child. It is a story about a system. It's also the story of a mom fighting to see her son again. This is the disappearance of Colten Fleury.
