MYSTERY: The Murders of Barry and Honey Sherman

About this episode

Barry Sherman had built Apotex into one of the largest generic drug companies in the world, and his wife Honey was among the most prominent philanthropists in Canada. On December 15th, 2017, a real estate agent showing their Toronto mansion opened the door to the basement pool and found them both dead at the water's edge, seated upright and side by side. Within hours, unnamed police sources were telling reporters the working theory was murder-suicide. The Shermans' four children refused it, hired their own lawyer and pathologist, and paid for second autopsies that found marks on both wrists and no restraints anywhere at the scene. Six weeks later, Toronto police reversed themselves and called it a targeted double homicide. In this episode of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy examines the first six weeks that shaped the investigation, the family's decision to investigate their own city's police force, and the unidentified figure caught walking a snowy sidewalk on a neighbor's security camera. Nearly nine years on, no one has been charged with the murders, and a reward that has climbed to $35 million has never been claimed. Head over to our YouTube channel to WATCH our vid
