CANADA Canada - Billionaire Couple Barry & Honey Sherman Murdered at Home, Toronto, 15 Dec 2017 #24

[MerlinFalcon]

Was the killer a person nobody had ever read about in the newspaper?

Law and Order TO takes well known local cases and changes things around. In this episode, the dead homeowners had awesome security cameras. Everything on the show is based on real life but they make it their own.

Names and characters were switched around and fictionalized.
The murderer ends up being the protective older gay partner of an artist, whose art was purchased but disrespected in some way by the female philanthropist.

''I couldn't watch them treat you like... Declan. This isn't true? Right? Tell me you didn't do this. He did it for you, Bruce. For this. That's how you got the rest of the money? By killing our friends? Declan! Tell me! Answer me! If I say yes, will he get to keep the house? Tell me, tell me, if I confess! Hey! Will he get to keep this house?! ( handcuffs clanging ) Tell me! Will he get to keep this house? ( whimpering ) ( crying ) You think Nancy Fogel's really gonna move the Center for Science? Well, I did send her file to the Fraud Squad, so that'll jam her up a little.''

I don't know if it's been discussed, but I am new here and I think there's something more to the son raising the reward money.

Why triple the reward? 10 million to 35 million. You destroyed the house that had all the evidence. If you wanted or thought it would get solved you keep the house and hire the world's best to investigate. I don't think he has the mental ability to do anything, but I think he knows alot more.

Did the police ever give him a polygraph?

Has anyone ever looked into a possible connection between COVID, vaccines, and Barry? If you look at them something interesting emerges. I don't know all the rules here yet, so I won't talk about COVID.

Remember this wasnt just a little drug issue between companies. COVID would change Barry's business to levels unimaginable. Makes you actually think.

Also, when do two billionaires get murdered and not get solved.

But Barry was killed in 2017. 1) It was way, way before COVID. 2) the COVID situation was anything but intentional. I have been to the wet markets in Taiwan, so I can very easily imagine the Chinese ones and believe “that the source was something exotic and improperly cooked consumed by a human”. 3) Likewise, if you Google “Sverdlovsk anthrax leak in 1979”, if it happened once, it probably happened several times. Can I imagine an equally klutzy idiot creating another lab accident in a different country? Can happen anywhere, sure. 4) But it was never planned. If you look at the percentage of deaths per country and the haplotypes susceptible to COVID, you’ll see why I think so. 5) Plus, the vaccines are made by brand name companies, and only a few. So to kill an owner of one generic company three years before an accidental pandemic? They just happen.

Billionaires get murdered and it doesn’t get solved? Sadly, it happens when no one perceives it as a threat to the community. I am sure that the Shermans’ children miss them.

The supposed hydroxychloroquine link is among the more ludicrous conspiracy theories, unsupported by any evidence in the public domain that I am aware of.

There is no evidence that this was a pharma hit, much less that it was motivated by foreknowledge of a conspiracy theory related to a pandemic that was two years away. If Barry had known about the novel coronavirus, he would have invested in producing drugs that block or treat the coronavirus.

They can't even find evidence to solve this case and you expect anyone to find evidence linking big pharma. Lol

I never said anything about a big pharma hit. btw

Welcome to Ws @τετέλεσται!
At one point or another, just about everything has been suggested and then rejected as a motive for the murders.
Maybe one day we will learn it had nothing to do with anything, anybody has ever even considered!

We will never solve this case in my opinion.

They did send investigators through the house, as did the police. At some point the evidence is exhausted, this is why the police released the home back to the family.

Demolishing the house is a complete nothing burger but 7.5 years later people still think it’s damning.

τετέλεσται! welcome to Websleuths. I am not sure how much research you have done on this case, but I sense you may not be familiar with the Canadian justice system and how Canadian law enforcement agencies deal with information regarding crimes.

You make the statement "They can't even find evidence to solve this case". The Toronto Police Service, (TPS) the police agency that has jurisdiction and is doing investigation. Their goal is not necessarily to solve the case, but rather to bring the perpetrators to justice by means of the criminal judicial system. Secondly the TPS, as most Canadian law enforcement agencies, do not share with the public what evidence they do or do not have with the public prior to charges being laid and a trial is underway.

In fact the TPS may know who did it, but may not yet have enough evidence, to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt of the perpetrators guilt. Understand in Canada there is no statute of limitations on crimes of murder, so there is no time limit to lay charges. Secondly chances are the prosecution will have to convince the jury, while likely the defense will be made up of the best lawyer(s) in Canada money can buy.

TPS and the prosecution will only have one chance to win the trial, and will make every effort to have an ironclad case.

Regarding your comment about Jonathon Sherman increasing the reward. Likely he would say 'to motivate someone to come forward with evidence that could lead to a conviction'.

I have doubts also.

The reality is, hydrochloroquine might work (some) the same way as any anti-autoimmune drugs, by decreasing the "cytokine storm". So if the conspiracy theory were true, we'd see all companies suddenly investing into their steroids, Humira, Colchicine, whatnot. Maybe ventilator companies would suddenly start making ventilators with new settings 3 years before Covid. Yet there is nothing to indicate it.

It is so easy to check and see that the "conspiracy" theory simply doesn't hold.

I have doubts as well. It might happen accidentally though.
