  • The Huenemann / Leatherbarrow Murders [1]
    Dec 16 2024

    BRITISH COLUMBIA


    [Part 1 of 2] When police are called to do a welfare check at the home of a fashion store owner, they're confronted with a shocking sight. Lying on the kitchen floor are the lifeless bodies of two women, their faces covered in dishcloths. There's blood everywhere.


    It looks as if Doris Leatherbarrow and her daughter Sharon Huenemann were killed just as they were serving up dinner for two guests.

    Who were the guests? And where were they now?


    The intention of this series is to take a detailed look back at a shocking crime often sensationalized and oversimplified, and explore the inner workings of the criminal justice system. Please respect the privacy of the people involved in this case.


    Part 2 will be available in one week.

    ONTARIO


    [Part 1 of 2 ] On a dark icy evening at a suburban Toronto subway station, a parking lot attendant came across an odd sight: protruding out of the driver’s side window of a tan Mustang, was a pair of legs.


    They belonged to a 36-year-old lawyer. And he was dead. The investigation that ensued uncovered a deadly tale of sex, lies, betrayal and corruption, that would be called Canada’s version of “Double Indemnity”.


    The intention of this series is to take a look back at a shocking crime sensationalized through headlines and reveal the inner workings of the criminal justice system.
