"Six years to the day since her murder, Sheri-Lynn McEwan's colleagues at the Estaire Volunteer Fire Service haven't forgotten her, and they don't want you to forget her either.

The popular nurse returned home from a vacation on Oct. 7, 2013 and was murdered a short time later. That murder remains unsolved.

Sheri-Lynn McEwan was a member of the Estaire Volunteer Fire Service, and the organization issued a statement on the six-year anniversary of her murder.

"This tragedy touched not only every member of the fire team but every person in our little community. We ask that you take a moment to remember Sheri-Lynn (The Red Rock "Crusher), her smile and her zest for life," said the service in a Facebook post.

In 2018, the Government of Ontario offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for her untimely death."

"On Sunday, Oct. 7, 2013, McEwan was dropped off at her Estaire home by her friends, after returning home from a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Shortly after she was dropped off, a 911 call came from the house at around 4 p.m.

When first responders arrived at the scene, the woman was found seriously injured. Not long afterwards, those injures took McEwan's life.

Her husband, Terry Boyle, was found dead in the same home just weeks later, on Oct. 27, 2013. Police did not suspect foul play in his death.

The fire service asks anyone who thinks they have information on the murder to call the OPP.

"Please support the efforts of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) in this investigation. If you have remembered any information (no matter how trivial you think it might be), please contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122."

Tips can also be made to Crime Stoppers at 888-207-8477 or online at SudburyCrimeStoppers.com."

“If you have remembered any information (no matter how trivial you think it might be), please contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Please ‘share’ this post as someone somewhere has information that may help.

“The more people that read it, the better chance the perpetrator(s) will be caught."

"The sadness, however, didn’t end with McEwan’s slaying, however. On the day of the murder, McEwan’s husband, Terry Boyle, was working at the time, according to his firefighter friends, doing a local run as a truck driver. They said his firefighter pager went off when the call came in about the medical emergency at his address.

Less than two weeks later, firefighters, many of whom Boyle had trained, were paged to 7 Elbow Lake Rd. again, this time to a possible suicide. Boyle was found dead by his own hand, say those who spoke to The Star.

The Estaire Wanup fire hall is located directly across the road from the home where McEwan, and Boyle, 59, lived.

At McEwan’s funeral Oct. 14, Boyle sobbed as he delivered a eulogy to more than 200 people. “I beg you, please, never let her spirit die,” said Boyle. “That would be admitting defeat, and Sheri-Lynn would never allow that.”

Friends say Boyle really died from a broken heart."

''Sheri-Lynn McEwan was a kind and loving person, always smiling and happy, said her friend and colleague, Jenny Borton.

A nurse in Health Sciences North’s operating room, and formerly a volunteer firefighter in Estaire, 40-year-old McEwan was known for her love of motorcycles and roller derby (where she was dubbed “Red Rock Crusher,” for her bright-red hair and feisty personality).''


''New DNA evidence analysis technology has cracked several cold cases in recent years, including the high-profile 1998 murder of Renée Sweeney here in Sudbury.

“We’re taking advantage of that same technology,” said Glassford. “I don't want to draw comparisons to the Sweeney case, obviously, other than it was an older case. But, you know, we use the technology that fits the evidence that we have.”

''Police remain tight-lipped about many aspects of the case. Glassford would not get into details on what DNA evidence may have been collected from the scene, if there are or ever have been suspects in the case, or McEwan’s specific cause of death.

The investigator continues to appeal to the public for tips. The provincial government has provided a $50,000 reward or information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for McEwan’s death.

Anyone with tips is asked to phone the OPP at 1-888-310-1122, its tip line at 1-866-220-2505, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

“It could be the smallest little tidbit of information that they've maybe thought about, and maybe they think it's too late, but it isn't too late,” he said. “We will assess it; we will look at it. We've got a massive investigative file.”

McEwan remains a concern for police and the her loved ones. Eleven years later, hope remains.''

''OPP Det. Insp. Shawn Glassford, who works out of the provincial police general headquarters in Orillia, was assigned the McEwan murder case three years ago.
''In 2023, he told Sudbury.com investigators are doing “everything in our power to solve this case.”
