Hi, it's Kevin Donovan, host of Murder on Mount Olive. Six episodes in, I thought I'd tell you why I chose this case.

For the past 40 years, I've been writing newspaper stories. For an old-timer like me, podcasts offer a chance to give our work to the Toronto Star an even bigger

audience.

The thing is, you need the right subject.

I like topics where we can make a difference.

First, there was death in a small town, a story about a mother's quest for answers in her son's

death.

It never dawned on me that people would look at us.

It didn't dawn on me for weeks.

It dawned on me when they called me and interrogated me.

Then I figured out what maybe they were thinking.

Then it was the billionaire murders,

probing the shockingly unsolved case and the police screw-ups. The police failed to properly examine and assess the crimes

the warburian and these sherman are located in the basement of the pool.

It fails to recognize the suspicious and staged manner

in which their bodies resituate.

My stories have cost a lot of people their jobs.

Cops, politicians, government types, lawyers, journalists, business leaders.

A few people have gone to jail too.

The Chris Sheriff case is the first time I've tried to do the opposite,

to see if someone was wrongfully imprisoned. The judge and jury, they never bought Chris's story. And that's it, there was no planning, there was no nothing. There was no him saying, hold on, I'm going to go shoot this person right here, and I'm going to come back to your car and we're going to drive off, and I'm going to drop you here, and you're going to go here. A story like this has a lot of twists and turns.

The theory was that our deceased was just in the wrong place, the wrong time, wearing a red belt shirt.
