Summary

A two-part series — When police are called to do a welfare check at the home of a fashion store owner, they're confronted with a shocking sight. Lying on the kitchen floor are the lifeless bodies of two women, their faces covered in dishcloths. There's blood everywhere.


It looks as if Doris Leatherbarrow and her daughter Sharon Huenemann were killed just as they were serving up dinner for two guests. Who were the guests? And where were they now?


The intention of this series is to take a detailed look back at a shocking crime often sensationalized and oversimplified, and explore the inner workings of the criminal justice system. Please respect the privacy of the people involved in this case. 


Canadian True Crime donates monthly to those facing injustice.

This month we have donated to Women’s Shelters Canada – sheltersafe.ca


Look out for early, ad-free release on CTC premium feeds: available on Amazon Music (included with 

Prime), Apple Podcasts, Patreon and Supercast.
