A murder victim with multiple identities. A fugitive running from his past. Dirtbag Climber, from CBC Podcasts, is a five-part docu-series investigating the unsolved homicide of “Jesse James,” a rock climber found dead in Squamish, B.C. Local reporter Steven Chua unravels a story stretching across continents, exposing the shocking double life of an enigmatic con artist—one whose path winds through chess tournaments, white supremacist rallies, and the wild frontier of early online crime.
