Summary
All the money in the world can't buy happiness and the home of Honey and Barry Sherman tells that story. Honey was tough on the kids. Barry was a soft touch. Riches were doled out unevenly and there was division over each other's lives. Then there were the four cousins who went after Barry in the courts.
This is episode six of "The Billionaire Murders: The hunt for the killers of Honey and Barry Sherman," a "Suspicion" podcast probing the strange case of the famous Toronto couple who were found strangled in their north Toronto home in 2017. For five years, investigative reporter Kevin Donovan has covered the case for the Star, fought court battles to access documents on the police investigation and the Sherman estate, and wrote a book about it.
