Looks very good.
The case is fascinating and very frustrating considering how long it took before police admitted it was murder not murder suicide.
How could anyone think two people tied up together and strangled could be murder suicide?
Did Barry Sherman strangle Honey and then tie up and strangle himself?

 

I hope you get your answer. I heard Donovan in an interview a few days ago stating he has his suspicions about who did it and he believes they're accurate, but that he would never go to print with them unless the evidence is fully there. I'm pretty sure that would also apply to his documentary series. So you may not get what you're hoping for, 

I listened to Donovan's Toronto Star podcast on the murders. He makes it clear that they were murdered by a family member or someone close to a family member. The issue at hand was the wills. Barry wanted the money divided among the kids as per his will . Honey wanted to change the will and disinherited someone in the family. They both had to die. 

Once the writers strike is resolved, this story would be a natural fit for a Law and Order episode. The detectives eventually set up the guilty parties in the show, have them confess, show the trial, those responsible go to prison. (which probably won't cause the Canadian cold case to move forward but you never know what could shake loose with enough pressure and public scrutiny.)

Watched the last two segments of Craves four part Billionaire Murders last night.  This docudrama was interesting all the way through.  It also leaves the door open for a wrap up segment if the case is solved.

Most viewers will come away with a good idea who may have been involved with murdering Barry and Honey.  The last two episodes also clear up a few rumours and side bar stories that have persisted over the years.

Writer Kevin Donovan's one on one meeting with Sherman's son Jonathan is riveting and troublesome even though you don't see or hear any of the interview.  The younger Sherman would only talk to Donovan alone with no recordings or video. Donovan had to travel by himself to Sherman's cottage north of Toronto.  This had the makings of a set up.  The way it was shown and handled was intriguing.
