Bruce McArthur: The Gardener of Death – Toronto’s Hidden Predator

In this gripping episode of Among Monsters, host Damien Vale uncovers the horrifying true story of Bruce McArthur, the seemingly benign Toronto landscaper who led a secret life as a serial killer. Behind the smile, the seasonal Santa costume, and the tidy garden beds, McArthur was luring vulnerable men to his home, murdering them, and hiding their dismembered remains in decorative planters scattered across suburban neighborhoods. Between 2010 and 2017, members of Toronto’s LGBTQ+ community began to vanish — immigrants, refugees, sex workers, and closeted men. While authorities hesitated, McArthur continued to hunt. It wasn’t until a single name scribbled in a calendar cracked open the investigation that the depth of his crimes was revealed. Inside his apartment, police found trophies, photographs, and chilling digital records of the dead. This is the story of how one man hid horror behind a hedge, and how silence, ignorance, and systemic failure allowed a serial killer to bloom in Canada’s biggest city.
