In this episode of Dark Roast & Dark Crimes, Keltee tells the story of Theresa Allore, a 19-year-old college student who vanished from the Eastern Townships of Quebec in November 1978. Months later, Theresa was found in a rural creek — and what followed was decades of unanswered questions, investigative missteps, and a family refusing to let her name fade into the background. We’ll walk through the timeline, the key evidence, and how Theresa’s brother John Allore turned grief into a relentless fight for truth and accountability.
