About this episode

The episode discusses the abduction and murder of 16-year-old Darlene "Dolly" Prioriello in Mississauga, Ontario, and its impact on the community.

Hey Spooky Squad! Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today, we’re heading to Mississauga, Ontario, for a case that left an entire community terrified—the 1982 abduction and murder of 16-year-old Darlene “Dolly” Prioriello. What began as an ordinary night quickly turned into every family’s nightmare when Darlene disappeared, only to be found murdered soon after. As police scrambled for answers, the killer didn’t stay silent—he allegedly sent chilling taunts to investigators, her family, and the community, turning an already horrifying case into something even more sinister. In this episode, we break down the crime, the investigation, and the lasting impact Darlene’s murder had on her loved ones and the wider Canadian public. Terri Prioriello has also spoken publicly in later years about the revictimization her family experienced during parole processes, which we cover here. Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, y’all!
