I’m curious about the coats as well. The information about what they were wearing has evolved over time, but LE hasn’t officially confirmed what KD has found.
Greenspan only mentioned Barry’s coat in his press conference:
(October, 2018)
“Greenspan offered some details about how the Shermans were found, noting that ligatures were wrapped around their necks and then around the pool railing, which forced them into an upright position. Barry's legs were outstretched, with one crossed over another. He was also still wearing his glasses, and
the sleeves of his jacket were pulled behind him, which would have restricted the use of his arms.”
October, 2019:
(Q) “…Barry and Honey Sherman were found with their coats pulled back behind them, which would immobilize arm movements…”
A: I can’t speak for Toronto police. But, as I understand it, the coats were pulled down but not enough to immobilize them.”

February, 2022:
“…But to this day, police refuse to release images of Barry and Honey as they left Apotex to go home that evening.
Police say they do not want anyone to know what the Shermans were wearing because they want any future “witnesses” to be untainted by information in the public domain. Yim says one day a “witness” might come forward and say they saw one of the Shermans that night and police want to compare their description to what the Shermans were wearing to determine if the witness actually saw them.
I countered that it is generally known they were wearing dark coats. (Honey had a blue down vest on under her coat.) Besides, I said, the quality of the photos of the builders in the Apotex lobby is so poor that you can make out their faces but not much else.”
Half of the massive Toronto police search warrant file is still blacked out. Here’s what we know about what’s missing as the Star continues its quest to hold police accountable.

June, 2022:
“A person walking in from the lone entry door would have seen Honey at the far end of the pool (40 feet away). Honey was in profile, the left side of her body the first part visible.
She is fully dressed, wearing dark pants, a blouse and a blue vest. Her rear end is on the floor, her legs stretched out in front. Her shoes, simple black slip-ons (she had perpetually sore feet and liked a comfortable shoe), are almost touching the wall that faces the pool. Police, in their interviews with Sherman family and friends, asked if it was their mother’s practice to take her shoes off when she came home. The children were uncertain.”
Photos, notes raise new questions about how investigators made their mistaken determination in the Barry and Honey Sherman case.

Adding to the above, the housekeeper said Honey had the habit of taking off her coat and hanging on the back of a chair in the kitchen area. But I haven’t read anything about her finding her coat on December 15th.
