ATLANTIC OCEAN, 1896: The chilled, windy air of the Atlantic Ocean surrounded the ship past midnight on July 14, 1896. Nine days into its voyage between Boston, Massachusetts and Rosario, Argentina, a single shriek rang out through the back cabin where the officers of the ship resided - the after house. A guest aboard the ship later found the bodies of Captain Charles Nash, his wife, Laura, and the second mate, August Blomberg.The next week on the Herbert Fuller was tense and full of suspicion. As the remaining crew returned to the closest port in Halifax, Nova Scotia, little was solved. Accusations flew. Who murdered Charles, Laura, and August? And why?This is the historic case of Charles Nash, Laura Ray Nash and August Blomberg.View source material and photos for this episode at darkdowneast.comFollow @darkdowneast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokTo suggest a case, email hello@darkdowneast.comSupport Dark Downeast on Buy Me a CoffeeShop Dark Downeast merch at darkdowneast.com/shop

*) Sudan's army bombs RSF bases in Khartoum Sudanese army forces have blasted the bases of the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group with artillery in Khartoum. The flare-up comes after the army pulled out of Saudi-brokered ceasefire talks, accusing their foes of failing to honour their commitments. On Wednesday, in both the north and south of the capital, key bases of commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo's RSF paramilitary came under attack by troops loyal to army chief Abdel Fattah al Burhan, residents said. *) US House votes to avert default, advancing Biden-McCarthy deal to Senate The US House has approved a debt ceiling and budget cuts package, advancing President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy's deal to the Senate. The hard-fought deal pleased few, but lawmakers assessed it was better than the alternative — a devastating economic upheaval if Congress failed to act. Tensions ran high as hard-right Republicans refused the deal to raise the nation's debt limit, while Democrats said “extremist” GOP views were risking a debt default as soon as next week. *) UN proposes ‘mutually beneficial' system to improve grain deal The United Nations has proposed that Kiev, Moscow and Ankara start preparatory work for the transit of Russian ammonia through Ukraine, a source close to the talks said. The UN wants parallel talks to be held on widening the Black Sea deal that was agreed last July to include more Ukrainian ports and other cargoes, said the source. Russia agreed this month to a two-month extension of the deal but has said the initiative will cease unless an agreement aimed at overcoming obstacles to Russian grain and fertiliser exports is fulfilled. *) Firefighters battle ‘unprecedented' wildfires in Canada Firefighters have faced a gruelling uphill battle against wildfires in Canada's Nova Scotia province, including one threatening the suburbs of Halifax. Federal help was coming to the Atlantic province, officials said, along with firefighters from the United States. Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston told a news conference they will take all the support they can get, adding that “these fires are unprecedented.” *) Earth in ‘danger zone' in all ecological ways, scientists say Earth has pushed past seven out of eight scientifically established safety limits and into “the danger zone,” according to a new study. The ‘danger zone' is not just for an overheating planet that's losing its natural areas, but for the well-being of people living on it. The study published on Wednesday looks not just at guardrails for the planetary ecosystem, but for the first time it includes measures of “justice,” which is mostly about preventing harm for countries, ethnicities and genders.

A wildfire is burning near Pockwock Lake, where Halifax Water operates a treatment facility. Jeff Myrick, the utility's communications manager, joins host Jeff Douglas to provide an update on water supply.
It happened so, so fast. Less than an hour after the first spark, thousands were evacuating, and crews were racing to close thew roads behind them on their way out. One of the fastest fires the province has ever seen was just outside the city, in no time at all.Since yesterday afternoon, more than 14,000 people have been evacuated, resources have been deployed fro other provinces—at least those that hadn't already been sent to Alberta—and a State of Emergency had been declared. Now hundreds of firefighters are digging in to halt the fire where it stands ... but a change in the wind could still change everything.GUEST: Dan Ahlstrand, news director at CityNews 95.7 in Halifax

Police work isn't easy. Besides keeping the community safe, writing reports, and doing whatever it is their vocation requires of them, they also need to keep secrets of their paranormal experiences. I've met police petrol at Jalan Wak Hassan area and we stopped to chat about the hauntings in the area. I think he probably felt relieved that he could tell it someone else. We also got active officers working at HQ level who wanted to share their stories on the condition that their identities remain confidential. As a modern progressive nation, we pride ourselves on having a practical and logical view of the world, unlike the generations before us who believe in old wives tales. How silly of them, we say. But it's this sort of mindset that pushes the discussion of the paranormal to the underground, and it is also what makes Supernatural Confession so intriguing to so many people, because these stories aren't available in public domain. There's a strange fascination about the paranormal and the unknown, and a part of us wants to know if it's true. And such validations are even more powerful when it's coming from people in position of authority that we trust - such as doctors, scientists, and police officers. In this episode we got an ex police officer to join us as a guest to give us insights into how the men and women in blue operate behind the scenes, and how do police officers react to haunting?

The NHL Draft lottery was won by The Chicago Blackhawks and Victor and Peter share their thoughts on what the fallout means. The road to the Memorial Cup continues and the CHL playoffs are down to the finals, Peter and Victor look in on each league to talk to you about some prospects whose fantasy stock has increased during the playoffs. Starting in the WHL where Seattle and Winnipeg, two powerhouse teams will faceoff. 3:52 Brad Lambert (Winnipeg Jets) - Pete and Victor go Good Cop/Bad Cop with the good and the bad on Lambert. 9:28 Jagger Firkus (Seattle Kraken) Little man with a big shot. 12:49 Matthew Savoie (Buffalo Sabres) Dominating the WHL playoffs with two points per game. Moving on to the OHL, The London Knights defeated the Sarnia Sting and the Peterborough Petes Battled the North Bay Battalion. 18:05 Kyle MacDonald (Dallas Stars) We missed him on the free agent episodes but have what you need to know about the Dallas Stars recent free agent acquisition. 23:24 Ty Nelson (Seattle Kraken) Short, stalky power defender. 28:18 Matyas Sapovaliv (Vegas Golden Knights) meh in the regular season but really standing out in playoffs, may not be in the Memorial Cup this year, but will host it next year. 30:32 Ryan Winterton (Seattle Kraken) Won a "ship" last year with Hamilton and will try to repeat with London Knights. Finally in the QMJHL Quebec swept a power house Gatineau and Halifax gets by Sherbrooke in six 34:25 Riley Kidney (Montreal Canadiens) Neither Peter or Victor think his two points per game production will translate to the NHL. Advice, sell sell, sell! 35:55 Zach Dean (St. Louis Blues) Typical Blues player, but may play a shut down role more than an offensive star at the NHL 39:59 Joshua Roy (Montreal Canadiens) 150th overall pick scoring and winning everywhere he goes, giving us Anthony Cirelli vibes.

We know Meredith MacNeill as by-the-book, yet frazzled detective Sam Wazowski on Pretty Hard Cases and for her absurd and hilarious comedic sketches on Baroness Von Sketch Show which she wrote and starred in….but the truth is - she's more than just the wild roles she plays on screen. The depth that she carries through her work comes from recognizing the truth of her life and how she sees the world. She shares with Naomi and Amanda that part of her comedic process involves cozying up to her best friend: failure. From her upbringing in Halifax to performing on stages in the UK, Meredith held hands with her inner voice and her fearlessness to help her achieve her dream to fly. Oh, and if you think perimenopause and chin hairs suck - she'll definitely convince you otherwise.
