Near Owen Sound, Ontario, 1988

On April 26th, 1988, a man was shot and killed in a remote cabin deep in rural Ontario—a single act of violence that raised more questions than answers.

Four witnesses were in the cabin that night, but their stories didn’t add up. They contradicted each other, and as the investigation continued, they even contradicted themselves. At the center of this confusing and unsettling case was Mae McEachern, a woman who would ultimately be charged with murder.

What really happened that night in the cabin?

In this episode of Nighttime, Mae's defense attorney and author Brian Barrie joins us to revisit the case, unpack the conflicting accounts, and explore the search for answers..

Taylor Samson, a university student, tells his girlfriend he’ll be back soon and leaves carrying a duffel bag she assumes contains marijuana. When he never returns, fears grow that he was the victim of a drug deal gone wrong.

The investigation quickly becomes one of Nova Scotia’s most high-profile murder trials, involving two Dalhousie University students: Taylor, the victim, and William Sandeson, the accused, just days away from starting medical school.

In this episode, the fifth in a series, Kayla Hounsell walks us through William Sandeson's second trial.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Saturday, Aug 15, 2015

Taylor Samson, a local university student, tells his girlfriend he has to run out for a moment and that he wouldn’t be long. When she see’s him exiting the apartment carrying a large duffel bag, she assumes it contains marijuana.

When he fails to return home that night.. or ever again, she, and many others in Taylor’s life, begin to suspect he was the victim in a drug deal gone very wrong.

What will start as a missing persons investigation will become one of Nova Scotia’s highest profile murder trials. One that sees two students of Halifax’s Dalhousie University at center stage.

The Victim, Taylor Samson and the accused William Sandeson who at the time of Taylor’s murder was only days away from beginning classes at the prominent medical school.

In part four of this series I’ll again be joined by Kayla Hounsell (author of First Degree: From Med-school to Murder) and our topic will be the surprising legal updates that have made this story far from over.

When one hears a story like that of Taylor's murder it's hard to not digest the twists, turns, and surprise the way you would a work of fiction.

In part one and two, Kayla and I made a point to discuss the character of Taylor Samson, and the role he played in the lives of many who stand heartbroken on the sidelines of this case. But, two people removed from the story can only take that so far.

For part three, I wanted to place a cap stone on this series, something that brings the events surrounding Taylor's death into the right context... that being the senseless murder of a human being loved by many as a son, a friend, a student, an entrepreneur, and much more. 

To help tell us about what it means to lose Taylor, I've invited one of the people who know him best. Someone who looked to Taylor as both a role model, a sometimes nuisance, an eternal protector, and a best friend...

Taylor's younger brother Connor Samson.
