The Mad Bomber /// Part 2 /// 214

The Mad Bomber /// Part 2 /// 214 Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Taken from Michael Cannell’s amazing book titled - Incendiary... The NYPD certainly didn’t understand it. The famously tough-minded New York Detectives stumbled and fumbled, as a harassing band of news-paper reporters detailed every turn. For more than a century the police had relied on muscle and shoe leather to collar bad guys. The street corner respected the billy club and that was that. But reliable strong-arm methods proved useless in the face of a schizophrenic serial bomber. The NYPD’s corrupt precinct Captains and stubborn Commanders resisted the new methods promoted by college-educated criminologist until a serial bomber forced them to adapt.

Barry and Honey Sherman /// Part 2 /// 211

Barry and Honey Sherman /// Part 2 /// 211 Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com Barry and Honey Sherman were one of the wealthiest couples in Canada. Barry had founded a large pharmaceutical business in his younger years that was wildly successful. With the success came many friends and enemies. In December of 2017 both Barry and Honey were found dead in their mansion. It’s very likely that the two were dead for more than 24 hours before the discovery of their bodies. Early indicators suggest strongly that the Toronto Police Service suspected a murder/suicide. That Barry had killed his wife and them himself. As the Investigation continued we would find that there are reasons to suspect that the rich couple were murdered in their home. This week we venture back to Canada and see if we can shed some light on the unfolding story of the deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman.
