    ALBERTA


    An elderly woman is found dead in her own home, the victim of a brutally violent attack in a typically sleepy community. At first it appears to be a robbery gone wrong, but further investigation reveals a complex web of lies — and a much more disturbing truth.


    The intention of this episode is to take a detailed look back at a tragic crime that played out through the media and highlight the societal problems that contributed to it.

    To protect and respect the privacy of those close to the case, some names have been changed.

Great listen to a horrendous story

Compelling story of this blood stain on Canadian crime history. Easy to listen even though the details are hard to listen to. Enjoyed hearing the brief back story of the victims.

Daily listener

I’m very particular on the podcasts I get into as I hate the weird adjustment period when you start listening to something new, but I was instantly hooked on this podcast. The stories are very in depth with the perfect amount of detail, told in a respectful manner making for easy listening. I appreciate and admire the amount of time that has gone into building this podcast and I thank you for the incredible work. Life as a single mom is a lot more bearable with a good poddy on the go
