MISSING IN MUSKOKA | A CraftTime Mystery

#nikthebooksmith #bookbinding #muskokamurders
THE LITTLE WHITE ROSE - by Joan Lawrence
The window of the florist's shop was gay
With flowers in an orderly array,
But all alone one little white rose lay
Forgotten in a dusty corner. There,
No eye could see that it had once been fair,
No ear could hear its wistful little prayer.
It wept forlornly for the silver sheen
Of summer showers, and the virgin green
Of laughing gardens it had never seen.
The florist showed me orchids, phlox, and red
Carnations, but I only bought instead
The little rose from which the bloom had fled.
Out in the winter night it trembled, awed,
Baring its timid heart to gaze at God,
Watching the stars that crowded close to nod
A friendly message to its upturned face,
The snow enshrouded it in misty lace.
The kindly north wind slowed his rowdy pace
To waft its wilting petals far and wide.
Happy that it had seen the great outside,
The little flower smiled at me, and died.

[@tangojuli209]

that's really sad.

[@minaj6628]

Hauntingly beautiful.

[@khallacy]

So sad. It sounds like she's talking about herself.

[@MsBkidd]

I really enjoy your craft time mysteries! I hope you continue doing them. I love your eco papers too - they’re so beautiful!

[@joseemcdonald4085]

I live in Northern Ontario and my take is…guilty as heck! It is very sad that individuals would prey on the most vulnerable without a second thought and then go on to live their lives as if nothing happened. Nik, I love your craft time crime stories …and you book is coming along great. Can’t wait to see the final product !

[@neorachana5604]

Having worked as a case manager, partly to prevent this type of thing, I am both saddened and furious by this story. The types of neglect and abuse discussed here are far more common than people realize. Financial abuse is the most prevalent if I remember correctly. Our state has paid and volunteer individuals at the state and county levels to try to reduce abuse. Twenty years ago, financial actions like this were not recognized as abuse and hiding a case was difficult. It is a bit better today. I hope that at least one body is found and the Laan family members convicted.

[@minaj6628]

What a sad story! Yes, there appears to be sufficient evidence for the Land’s arrest and conviction. Elder abuse is such a sad thing and to do this under the auspices of Christendom is shameful! Your eco pages are so lovely, Nik! Keep up the crafting mystery hour!! Loving them :))

[@martinebangs6520]

Hey Nik the Booksmith...I live in Ontario, Canada, about 3 hrs away from Huntsville, I remember watching the fifth estate re. this story, so sad, a terrible crime that happens more than we would like to admit to. Our laws are very strict, sometimes it seems like the accused have more rights than the victims. As far as whether they are guilty or not, yes they are guilty, there's more than enough proof, in my opinion...Take care...stay safe...

[@theoriginalkellymakesthings]

I am Canadian, from southern Ontario and remember when these disappearances first came to light, and the recent 5th estate investigation which is still in constant circulation in the Canadian media landscape. You do not need a body to get a conviction here, and circumstantial evidence can be used. Of course there has to be enough evidence to cover all of the areas of concern. As in the States, no crown attorney (our version of a DA ) will lay charges unless they know they have enough evidence to win the case. Then they just have to make their case in court with said evidence. Having said all that - I have always thought these reprehensible human beings are guilty as sin and continue to hope that they will be brought to account. I suspect they would not last long in a federal prison. I love the papers in this book you are making! I really enjoy all the content on your channel, and I love that you read the Walrus! Great mag!

[@wandaspencer9523]

Very interesting story. I’m Canadian and do recall this series of events and like many of our unsolved murders in Canada, after awhile the story dies away and we never hear about it again… thanks for sharing this. Love your binding by the way.

[@49Nutmeg]

Thoroughly enjoyed both the story and watching you stitch. I do believe the Lann family guilty and hope justice will be severed.

[@LedgerAndLace]

That's just heartbreaking. Poor Joan. It's so sad how the most vulnerable are treated in our society.

[@LedgerAndLace]

P.S. LOVE the binding and eco-pages!!! 🙂

[@stanky6261973]

Such a disgusting story! Those poor people and Joan's cats. It's really disturbing. Beautiful book, Nik! Tfs.

[@catheyboocat-design7175]

This was a very interesting and tragic story. I loved the poem, beautiful and haunting. And you are still the Book Queen❣️❤️❣️❤️

[@lalagamma4452]

I love this series. I'm appalled that they would allow that poor woman to stay in a shed. And her story makes you cry but her poem really breaks your heart. I hope these people realize that karma knows everyone's address. 🐞✌️🕉️

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Heartbreaking and maddening story. Listening to you tell the story though, made me concentrate on watching your stitching, and I think I learned more how to do it than from watching any other video!

[@onebyonehandicrafts1843]

I appreciate that I always learn something by watching your videos.

[@annaengberg]

Crimes against elderly and vulnerable people makes me so angry! Of course it's the family that's murdered these poor souls, at least in my mind after hearing you tell their story. In Sweden, I don't think you can prosecute some one without solid evidence, even if all the red flags are there. There's been cases where that's been tried, but without that solid evidence the charges has been dropped. Fortunately, in the cases I'm thinking of, the evidence has been found eventually and justice has been done. I do hope this will be the case in this crime too. I love these papers and what you've done with them so far. Can't wait to see what comes next! Your videos are so inspiring, Nik! :)

[@wendyleigh3222]

I love the CraftTime Mysteries! ♥️

[@margaretcomella3318]

Thanks Nik! I love these videos! I hope they continue and shed light on these subjects. ❤️

[@tangojuli209]

These craft time mysteries are curiously interesting. I think its your delivery. When I watch the screen, the graphics are hilarious. Thanks Nik.

[@mintiparrett7965]

I really like your mystery stories to go along with your crafting.

[@julieliuzzo8120]

I absolutely LOVE your videos and techniques. I have been binge watching and creating a list of ALL the books I want to make- now I have to add eco-printing! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us- Love these crime and craft mysteries- even my DH likes to listen and watch!

[@aprilcary5335]

These craft time videos are my favs by far. And the poem you've put here for us to see, wow! It's so sad and beautiful at the same time. I was trying to see how you were sewing together your little book, and I think I understood how, so I'm going to see if I can do that too. Thanks for sharing your talent, and God bless you.

[@ladyd4961]

Hi there, Pam at the Paper Outpost told me about your channel and I am so glad she did! I loved this story about these poor people and I agree, I believe they are guilty of a lot of things including murder...Excellent video and love that book you are making....going to go check out more of your videos... :)

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Great stories and binding method❤️🙏🏻✨💯🥰

[@elleng9956]

I love to watch all of your videos - such a treat. But I grabbed onto this one because I too live in Ontario and grew up at our cottage in the summers just outside of Huntsville. I remember the the 5th estate story (such a great program), but had forgotten all about this one. Thank you for bringing this story back to life👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰

[@marilyn1228]

Thanks for this, love this series and your eco prints. A family of psychopaths that got away with murder. I've always felt they had an in with the law. And anything labelled Christian always makes me nervous. The Fifth Estate is a great show!

[@MissDaisyParsley]

So sad! One would think that there would be enough circumstantial evidence to bring charges.

[@wordscrafter]

I can't fathom how people make this, or the previous stories, how they make this ok in their heads. They're terrifying! Loving the book, tho!

[@kateyeckenrode5962]

I love these stories

[@michelleanne9530]

Thinking about that poor woman freezing in that shack with her cats... So sad to have relied on that horrible group of people. It does seem as though a good prosecutor would find enough to charge them.

[@julianec8494]

Thank you, Nik♡

[@kaymckean8851]

How very interesting. You have just educated me. I never knew about this. We bought our property early 2000s. It happens to be on the south side of Lake Siding. Never realized that the area has a crime history. Really feel sad for these 4 seniors. Amazing Tha money can control some people to that extent. I do hope that justice would be served.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

I luv these crafting mysteries! more please!

[@barbararedmon]

Very interesting, and yes I believe there is enough evidence to convict. It would be great to find one or more of the bodies of these missing people. Side note...you sew these books together so beautifully.

[@collettekunkler7211]

Wow this case was very interesting! This family seems a bit too shady! Hopefully someday the law will catch up with them and the mystery will be solved! By the way love your papers and your stitches are amazing 🥰

[@Salem-pv4dw]

Man this is so F***ed up!! I can't even imagine a FAMILY of people so cruel and heartless. You have to wonder who will take care of THEM in their old age!

[@sarahlongshore2605]

They definitely need to be held accountable for any and all of the residents/ victims that were n their care!! They also need to be held accountable for stealing their victims money!!! This is an awful thing. They need justice.

[@sherrifredrickson2509]

Anyone who can allow a person to live in a shed - and charge them money to live there - is certainly capable of further harm to that person. I'm just broken hearted that these people we treated this way.

[@sherrireeves8110]

Those papers are magnificent! I have only one complaint about your craft time mysteries...wish they were more frequent!

[@lisapalmese7935]

First what a Gorgeous Journal your making ! I have to make two Memorial Journals . One for my Little Sister Cathleen who suddenly with no symptoms passed away almost 3 weeks ago and also one for my Grandkids Grandfather who's husband died from Parkinson's. My Sister had a Massive Stage 4 Brain Tumor in her frontal lobe. I am a recent Disabled Widow with a Blind and Autistic son. I'm struggling as a Senior.Well I have CM1 I have had spinal and Brain Surgery. So I knew somewhat what my sister was going to face but she is a very bad Diabetic. I knew after the Brain Surgery they wanted to start aggressive chemo and I knew it wouldn't work. The Diabetes would kick in and start attacking her kidneys and heart. Her husband passed 4 months prior to her. My husband died and he was a thin man from Diabetes. He lost his foot then his leg then he had had 10 mini Strokes before he passed away. I took care of him alone for 2 years before he passed. All my family are in NY and I am the only one out of state in Savannah GA. When my husband passed I lost a car due to an accident someone rammed into but it wasn't new enough for Insurance to pay out so I also don't have a car. Leaving me isolated and alone with my son. I called several places for help but Seniors don't count. Well I don't quite qualify for allot because I'm 59 not 60. I had to watch my Sister's wake virtually. Because my health wasn't good enough to go to NY nor did I have the funds. They keep raising my rent and my place is sappose to be a luxury town home and everything needs fixing. We sold my house after my husband got sick and moved in here. I hate not having my home. My Sister leaves behind my niece who is severly Diabetic and Severly Autistic. .my other sister is taking care of her. Really I need to make her a Journal also. The virtual wake shook me up it was a camera fixed on my Sister's open casket and sound. So I could hear people talking and laughing for 2 hours and Not seeing anyone go up to NY Sister's casket. It was horrible a nightmare. So being depressed I turned to Beauty looking for new Artists. That's how I found you. And You have been a Blessing! Off course I heard of you but now I have to make these Journals so I needed to watch a Professional. I also Love Pam from the paper Outpost and Emily from Junk Journal Inspiration. I don't know why I just told you all that but your story about Seniors touched me ! I think the family did it. All at least new about it. I know how I have been treated as a Senior. Not Good during this Pandemic. And with no car. Just making the bills I try to make some things to sell. But right now just looking for ideas for the Memorial Journals !! Thank You Stay Safe ❤️

[@tharp2499]

Wow. I'm not sure which is most disturbing...the crimes themselves, or the fact that no justice has come for these poor people. I just can't comprehend how some people can be so inhumane. I'm sure they're guilty. Thank you for sharing Joan's poem. It made me want to cry for her. It's ironic...almost prophetic. 💔 p.s. The eco dyed papers are gorgeous. Do you having a video or tutorial on the process you used for these? I'm loving the neutral tones. Beautiful.💗

[@luannsummers8275]

Very interesting. Hope this comes to an end and gets justice for those victims (not the Laans)

[@debra_marie_creates4380]

Nik, this is a fabulous series! Really appreciate your research and hearing your thoughts on the various crimes covered. As always really enjoy watching you create books, I learn so much from watching you! Hugs Debra

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

Joan's poem is lovely and very sad at the same time. Your sewing on those signatures is beautiful, as are the signatures themselves. As far as this sad story goes about the missing seniors, if the one gentleman said he heard gunshots and a backhoe on the property, why doesn't someone get a court order to dig up the property? Sounds like somebodies may be found there. What a horrific story of senior abuse!

[@heather570]

These are my absolutely favorite!! Nothing better than crafting to your stories! Thank you very much :)

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Good story as a senior living in a senior community, it hits close to home.

[@angelaarnold4255]

Yay, a crime and craft!! Lol. I love these Eco dyed papers. Gorgeous!!

[@arteriasartsinteriordecor4872]

Okay, I do not believe that anyone should be convicted on circumstantial evidence alone. I do believe that the Canadian police should go to the land property where the first victim went missing, and the backhoe was seen, and do a thorough search with ground radar equipment to find her and anyone else. It is highly unlikely that she was the first victim to die there. Then they would have solid evidence to convict these monsters and throw them in the hooskow until they die. That's what I think anyway. Thanks for sharing.

[@LindaSmith-vq1br]

One does not need a body in Canada , although it is preferred. I have been following this story for a long time as I live in Ontario. Personally, my opinion is that the OPP are correct in their belief in the guilt of the Land family. I truly hope that they do pay for what they have done. Great job Nik!

[@marilynbook4211]

I live in Ontario Canada but am not up on what it would take for a murder charge. I can tell you however, that Covid has proved that our seniors are not taken care of even in some licensed homes due to greed and government run homes due to lack of funds. While it can be horrendous, my daughter works in a lovely, very well run LTC (long term care) home and some places are well managed and the care givers are wonderful. My mother-in-law was in a lovely home with wonderful staff.

The Laans sound very guilty.. Cashing checks with wrong signatures kind of seals the deal… Also not reporting people missing that they were supposed to be caring for and no bodies.. It’s so sick what some humans are capable of.. 💔 I feel so bad for them..

[@teresemartinez6215]

It makes me sad that people take advantage of seniors, and worse in this situation. I believe they are guilty. I love your eco papers. Enjoy listening to the mysteries, even when they make mad.

[@tearalewis7532]

Im sorry, but it really looks like so many balls were dropped in this case....like a freaking ball pit amount. And it also seems as though you can commit all kinds of crime from endangerment, neglect, fraud, ect, and never see a jail cell. How was their land not searched?.....i have so many questions.

[@matildagentle3816]

It’s so awful!!! The elderly without family who care are so vulnerable to these monsters! I would say there’s enough evidence, but there should have been a better search for the bodies. Although the Canada land mass is rather large. Still…there should have been some clues! By the way, I love your book. I’m sewing mine by hand while listening. Love your videos.

[@sherryvanderpool4024]

[@shelleynobleart]

Whole new level of horror.

[@deborahgiles8214]

I read about this family and their, to my mind, undeniable pattern of criminal behaviour. I think it was a story in the local press around Huntsville that I read. I'm Canadian and familiar with the absolute top notch investigative journalism of the Fifth Estate, but I didn't see their show about this case. They seem to have let the behaviour of the family tell the story. I bet the family don't want to talk to the media! It's so horrible how this family has almost certainly preyed upon and victimized who knows how many vulnerable individuals. It's appalling what they have seemingly gotten away with. I don't know if a body is needed but I suppose there is a lack of strong enough evidence to build a case. Whatever is stopping the police from being able to make a case, it makes me mad. Are there not enough police resources in the area??? We all work so hard to do the right thing, make a contribution, etc. And then there are people like this family that give you the icks just to be human like they are. But they are pretty inhuman. Can you imagine living inside their messed up heads? That would be a horrible place to be. Such a sad story. So wrong.

[@LiterarySnob]

[@NiktheBooksmith]

They did search after Joan disappeared, but never did find anything. =/

[@MichelleB_96]

The "housing" that they provided for Joan tells volumes about them. Elder abuse absolutely sickens me.

[@phoebea]

The sentences for Canadian crimes are criminally short, I think. There have been cases where straight-up murderers get less than 10 years. Law enforcement always "urge[s] the perpetrators to come forward" or "urge[s] witnesses to come forward" on the news in these kinds of cases but, that is just cop-speak for they don't have leads and need more information. This case would be tricky to prosecute because of the long period of time since the actual disappearances. The lack of bodies and physical evidence may keep this case cold until either the remains or more evidence is found. I agree that the family is responsible, but by deflecting the crime to the police, it is obvious what their defense would be if prosecuted: they would say that the police took the missing seniors and they were never seen again. Also, despite each family member having long rap sheets and run-ins with the law, this reason is not sufficient to bring the case to trial. It's like saying: "These people are criminals and have a long rap-sheet, so they must have done it." I think the case would be solid, if the bodies of the victims are found. Having remains to analyze will prove when and how the victims died. Also, where the bodies are found may implicate those responsible. It's sad to think that these seniors were hand-picked for this scam because they were extra vulnerable by having no family to check up on them.

Yes circumstantial evidence is a thing in Canadian courts. It must be reasonable and not speculative. Probably the same as in US.

[@NorthlightsStudio]

Very sad. I watched all the videos. Not far from me. I think they didn't press charges as there just isn't quite enough hard evidence. The burden off proof is high. We don't really have civil suits here either , where the burden is lower, so the families ooo these people didn't have much of a chance. Hopefully they will arrest soon. Sound like they may.

[@suruha2306]

What is so sad about all this is that these 'elderly' just aren't given the same respect as others. Somehow, they are 'less than a person'. Just stick them somewhere until they die. Yet, it is the elderly who once ran this country. They were the biggest promoters of the economy and the growth of this nation. They paid the taxes that paved the way in to the 21st century. They raised the current generations! I'm advancing rapidly in to elderly status, myself. I've very active in current 'affairs' to the extent that my age, and body, allow. I am already beginning to see the attitudes of society towards a 'washed up old hag'. So, it comes as no surprise that this case has been tossed aside. It wreaks of having been silenced due to someone's 'warm affiliation' with a law or government entity. I just hope that all those complicit come to realize that they, too, will be elderly, one day. Thank you for doing these! You do an excellent job!

Sorry, we had to take away my dad's access to money for this reason. It was too easy to talk him into things. He has a limited amount of cash now if he needs something.

Did the authorities search the properties for Graves? Or use cadaver dogs. I think the Land family is responsible for the disappearances and possibly deaths of these people.
