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

[WINDSOR]

My suspicion it's political. LE has been instructed to slow walk it because people in high places are involved. The "Sherman Files" will stay sealed.

I doubt any politician would issue a 'slow walk' instruction. Word would get out, as it usually does, and the politician would be finished. More likely they say nothing, and keep the TPS budget tight.

Politically it would be wiser for an elected official to provide the resources and publicity to encourage the TPS to go all out to solve this case. Imagine if rather than a part time detective; a large multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplined task force was assigned to this case, with a adequate budget, what could be accomplished.

Another case I follow, was cold for years, and but when the required resources and political will were applied, an arrest was made.

Interesting, I saw this theory on many sites. But, the Shermans were very generous donors to these "people in high places". It is counterintuitive to organize murder of some of your major donors IMHO.

WARMINGTON: Eight years since slayings of Honey and Barry Sherman and still no answers

While someone has so far gotten away with murdering this couple, they have not stopped the Shermans' money from being donated to charity.

''While someone has so far gotten away with murdering this billionaire couple, they have not been successful in stopping their money from being donated to charity.

''While the strange and disturbing deaths of Honey and Barry Sherman remain a mystery, this power couple’s legacy does not. It’s no secret what the Shermans did for their community and, through their four children, still do in their names posthumously. The Sherman family’s generosity is on display all over the Greater Toronto Area.''

''Jonathon has confirmed to the Toronto Sun that the $25-milllon reward, added to the $10 million offered earlier with his sisters, still stands – making it $35 million to whoever find his parents killer or killers.''

'Honey’s body, which is said to have had facial wounds, was slumped over while Barry’s body with no other wounds and was upright. It has been said a security camera in the pool area had been rendered inoperable.'

''Considered an unsolved double murder​

This is the way it remains eight years later – an unsolved, double murder, but not a cold case.
“The homicide investigation remains active and is being led by Detective Sergeant Brandon Price in partnership with Police Constable Dennis Yim,” police spokesperson Stephanie Sayer said.''

Very early on, the mayor got into hot water by appearing to advocate for the Sherman family to police. That lesson has been learned.

WARMINGTON: Unsolved Sherman murders an enigma wrapped inside a riddle

Not even Agatha Christie could have conjured up such a mystery with so many strange clues and a cast of people detectives would interview.

torontosun.com

''The double murder of Honey and Barry Sherman and the “staging” of their bodies to be found by the swimming pool inside of their home on Dec. 15, 2017, has always been an enigma stranger than any fiction writer could create.
But it did happen in real life.

A diamond earring, a dismantled security camera, a cellphone in a powder room, a macabre sculpture and a partially opened basement window are just five of the many bizarre, unexplained details that remain peculiar eight years removed from whatever happened in that house at 50 Old Colony Rd. in York Mills.''

''It’s a murder mystery made for TV but all too real. It’s also a riddle that has, so far, stumped the best professional detectives and amateur sleuths alike.''

I was hoping Warmington had something new. But no.

 

[MerlinFalcon]

Is the earring the one that was found outside the house?

Is the earring the one that was found outside the house?

It was one of two earrings found at the base of the driveway on January 27, 2018.

Donovan said in one of his Star Q&As that it was later found to not have any connection to the murders.

Anyone could have dropped them at any time.

Thanks. That’s what I remembered although I don’t remember it being a diamond earring.

It’s possible both earrings were Honey’s, stolen in the break-in that happened before the murders. The thief could have dropped them while leaving the property.

Or the earrings could have been lost or left behind by any random person who was outside the home. Many people gathered there in the six weeks between the murders and the day these items were found, and before the murders any person could have lost them while visiting or walking past the home.

I remember a pearl earring or half of an pearl earring. Can it be thrown so as not to leave footprints in the immediate vicinity, or is such jewelry not as heavy as I imagine?
My theory: Nightwalker threw it after finishing the staging inside the home only for producing clues outside also. He probably expected the earring to be found more quickly, and until the discovery he was on pins and needles. MOO

Under this theory, how did the nightwalker approach that area without appearing on the camera across the street?

From behind the building. I'm guessing, because I can't really imagine the area around. MOO

''Could a “diamond” earring found at the bottom the Shermans’ murder scene offer a clue into what happened eight years ago?

''In two pieces, this earring that looks similar to the type Honey Sherman is seen wearing in many pictures, was found by CP24 cameraman Matt Reid – on Jan. 27, 2018 – six weeks after the bodies were discovered and just one day after Toronto Police determined it to be a “targeted” double homicide.

''Was this Honey Sherman’s earring?''​

Did the earring become dislodged from Honey in an attack? Or does it belong to one of the hundreds of people who were outside of the house in the weeks following the murders?''

There is only 1 single day discrepancy ..... Can we believe it? Could it have been the other way around? First the pearl earring was found, and with this discovery suddenly did the investigation steer in a different direction (which the person, who deposited the earring, absolutely intended)? The initiator wanted to make sure, no M/S would be further on the table. Possible? - MOO, speculation (always the same speculation).

If the police had found and collected it as evidence that then affected the course of the investigation, it would not be lying in the gutter. It would be in the evidence room or crime lab.

Donovan has been milking the Sherman cow for far too long. His book, documentary and frivolous articles that consistently say nothing.
Time for Kevin to move on unless he has one shred of hard evidence that even points to a double murder. Barry didn’t have a single defensive wound….not a cut, bruise or laceration. Which means he didn’t struggle when they put the belt around his neck. Even if his hands were bound behind his back, (doubtful)…..no resistance. You have to be living on another planet to think you can put a belt around someone’s neck without a fight!
The real kicker is there isn’t nor has there ever been one shred of hard evidence that points to a double murder.
Greenspan…l mean Greenspin spun a cover up and you all bought it.

Keep holding your breath for the arrest. Wishful thinking.
Yin hasn’t interviewed a single person in 2 yrs! Get real.

Kerry, they found marks on the wrists of both victims which suggest they were both restrained whilst belts were placed around their necks. Barry would not be able to tie up his own wrists, hang himself with a belt then after death remove the ties that he had used to restrain his wrists all by himself.

Son of Barry and Honey Sherman moves to oust fellow estate trustees

Jonathon Sherman claims “breach of trust” in dispute over the holdings in the multimillion-dollar fund, set up a year before his parents were murdered.

''Lawyers for Glasenberg and Krawczyk told the Star that Jonathon’s bid to remove them from the trust is being done for “tactical reasons” and the two men “deny in the strongest terms” the allegations made against them.
This legal move is the latest in a back-and-forth battle over Barry’s fortune. Earlier this year, Krawczyk and Glasenberg tried to remove Jonathon as trustee of the trust; that action has not yet been heard by a judge.''

Interesting side profile and build of AG and when comparing that against the profile of the walking man. Just saying..

Police didn’t find it. A reporter did

Sherman family investigators hand over earring and other evidence collected at murdered billionaires’ home to Toronto police

The handover comes several weeks after police warned the Sherman family’s lawyer they would seek a judicial warrant if potential evidence was not immediately handed over, sources close to the case have told the Star.

www.thestar.com

'An earring discovered in the driveway has also being turned over by the private team.''

''During their initial search, private detectives were also directed by a television crew to a spot where the crew had seen an earring lodged in the gutter at the end of the driveway. The private team put that in an evidence bag too.
This was all back in January — the question for the private team was what to do with what they found.''

''At the meeting, the private team, led by former Toronto homicide detective Tom Klatt, told the police about other items they had, including the vacuum bag and the earring.''

'Then there is the issue of what he refers to as evidence—how does he get that to the police? Brian Greenspan obtained information that the crime scene was not, in their opinion, properly vacuumed so they found evidence—jewelry found in the driveway that’s wasn’t Honey’s.'
ETA
Had previously speculated that maybe the earring (a copy of HS' earring? speculation) was accidentally dropped by the cast/crew, imo, fwiw

''Not only did he look like the Apotex founder but he was trying to emulate him — even wearing a wig.
“I am doing a movie,” explained the driver.
If it already didn’t seem bizarre, behind him in a gold-coloured Lexus RX SUV was a woman playing the part of Honey Sherman.
For a few hours, it had the look that the Shermans were alive and back on Old Colony Rd.''
