Summary
In episode eleven of "The Billionaire Murders: The hunt for the killers of Honey and Barry Sherman" Kevin Donovan uses what he knows about the killings to develop his theory of what the killers were after. Nothing was taken, not money, jewelry, and none of Barry's electronic devices. The plan was to kill both Honey and Barry and stage their bodies.
The Billionaire Murders podcast is probing the strange case of the famous Toronto couple found strangled in their north Toronto home in 2017. For seven years, The Star's Kevin Donovan has covered the case for the Star, fought court battles to access documents on the police investigation and the Sherman estate, written a best selling book on it and produced a Crave documentary.
Listen for episode 12 this coming Friday, December 20.

| 0:00.0 | From the Toronto Star, I'm Kevin Donovan, and this is Billionaire Murders. Episode 11, Gift Bags and Bloodstains, Part 2. |
| 0:28.1 | In the last episode, I began piecing together everything I knew about Barry and Honey Sherman's last day, Wednesday, December 13, 2017. The morning workouts, |
| 0:40.9 | Honey shopping for Hanukkah gifts, Barry spending the day at his company Apotex, |
| 0:45.9 | ending with a meeting with honey and three builders to discuss plans for a new Sherman Mansion. |
| 0:51.8 | And how one of the builders remembered Barry, a workaholic who |
| 0:55.9 | normally stays at the office until 11 p.m., said he had to go home early that night, for a reason |
| 1:01.7 | that, unfortunately, none of them could recall. I ended the episode with a stark contrast, |
| 1:09.3 | honey being attacked in her kitchen shortly after she arrived home at |
| 1:13.2 | 8 p.m. and Barry sending a last work email before heading for home early. Agreements with PMS |
| 1:20.2 | re-dejoxin and impotropium. I can't find either. Do you have? Barry's drive home from Apotex in his aging car that night would take no more |
| 1:30.2 | than 25 minutes. His top executives, Jack Kay and Jeremy Desai, they drove high-end vehicles. But |
| 1:38.1 | Barry loved his 10-year-old Ford Mustang convertible. He'd recently had an accident on the same |
| 1:43.8 | highway he took every day |
| 1:45.3 | to get to work. Here's Jeremy Desai, who was then the CEO of Apotex. He had a crash from the 400, |
| 1:52.0 | a minor collision, but pretty well his Mustang silver one was all dented up. Now, you'd expect a billionaire |
| 2:00.0 | to just get a new car. In fact, Honey, Barry's wife, |
| 2:04.9 | recently had an accident in her 10-year-old SUV when she'd hit a deer driving home from a friend's |
| 2:11.7 | cottage. Honey got her brother-in-law to shop around and find a cheap auto shop. She proudly got major damage fixed |
| 2:19.4 | for the bargain basement price of $5,000. Same for Barry. So Jack and I said to Barry, we are going to |
| 2:27.3 | buy you a new car. Jack goes to, Jeremy and I are going to buy you a new car. He goes, no way. He goes, |
| 2:31.7 | I'm going to go and see how much it got repaired. He spent $2,000 on it. He comes in very proud about three weeks later. And he comes out, |
| 2:39.6 | he goes, look, see, all these panels which were rusted, which had also got dented, |
