    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.

    TORONTO - A special new presentation to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the controversial death of Toronto bike messenger Darcy Allan Sheppard.


    [ Part 1 of 4 ] Sheppard v Bryant


    On August 31, 2009, there was a catastrophic collision between a cyclist and a motorist on a busy downtown Toronto street — a collision so unfathomable that it shocked bystanders and the city at large. 


    Darcy Allan Sheppard died on the street that night. The motorist, former Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant was arrested, charged, and released the next morning. The way the case unfolded in the media – and the justice system – would be hotly debated for years to come.
