Episode Details

A man walking home from work suddenly hears screams coming from a house... then a single sharp crack.

He follows the sound to the garage, where he finds a woman bleeding out on the floor.   

It's JoAnn Wilson, mother of three and ex-wife of Colin Thatcher, a high-profile Saskatchewan politician. 

Her murder was the tip of the iceberg of a decades-long saga that gripped the nation and drew comparison to the show Dallas — but would prove far darker than anything on TV.

*Additional content warning: this episode contains mentions of domestic abuse.
