In the summer of 1999, the RCMP in central Alberta investigated a horrific case involving two children.
A father murdered his little girl and tried to kill his son.
The case haunted investigators for decades.

It would leave his life torn in pieces.

Learn what it’s been like for this veteran officer to live with the stigma of being wrongfully accused of a serious criminal offence in the conclusion of ‘Scarred but not broken.’
