When three-year-old Dylan Ehler vanished in Nova Scotia last May, his parents were frantic. The only clues left behind were his rain boots. When the psychics got involved, everything changed. My latest story, out today in @wired.

I’ve been a fan of this newsletter for years, and it was an honour to get to guest edit an edition! I hope you enjoy these pieces as much as I did.

The quotes in this @klaidlaw story are next level. From a Hermès customer who owns 8 Birkins: “I specifically had girls so I could hand them down,” she says. “I said, ‘God, give me only girls because I have way too many purses. It was a special order.’” https://t.co/PN3mQMmWb2

Amid mass media layoffs, Google tests removing the News tab from search results

I increasingly feel like the only or at least the most important story is how private equity is hollowing out and destroying every aspect of our existence

A 35-year-old Brooklyn woman is a bridesmaid-for-hire. For a fee of $2500 (and up), she’ll help organize a bachelorette party, deliver maid of honor speeches, get the dance floor going, and more. @DVNJr & @JacobFeldman4's top pick this week by @klaidlaw

The best article ever written about #bridesmaidforhire just dropped today and it's from @klaidlaw at @TheHustle https://t.co/45LIO84F3N

My jaw kept dropping hearing how many people, including notable reporters, got canned by Bell. Layoffs are always brutal. But what kills me most is that there are ever-fewer investigative teams and seasoned journalists holding power to account in Canada. That should worry us all.

I can’t get over the feeling that it doesn’t matter how well the journalists do, it’s the suits at many outlets (not ours) who keep failing at the task of selling their good work https://t.co/w2bYTgWRjq

Journalism layoffs since last week: Sports Illustrated, Pitchfork, LA Times, National Geographic, TIME, now Business Insider

The cop and public servant in my most recent story each sentenced to seven years in prison this morning.

"The couple thought they’d executed the perfect crime: victimless and profitable. But, as hard as Konashewych had worked to keep his girlfriends apart, his two worlds were about to collide." @klaidlaw @torontolife #longreads
