And yet it was almost 50 days after the murders before LE interviewed KW and Desai. 50 days! Friends and relatives were not asked to provide alibis. Recent visitors to the home immediately before and after the murders weren’t asked for fingerprint or DNA samples until much later. LE’s actions or lack thereof entirely support the idea that they suspected this was a M/S from the outset. It is not reasonable, based on their investigative actions, to assume they were pursuing a double homicide case until the private detective team and Dr Chiasson pointed out the obvious.

I’m now going to speak in broad generalities: when police think a specific person (or people) might have committed a murder, they interview that person or people last. They want to collect as much evidence as possible before calling in a person to lock in their story. By waiting, they have more evidence that can be matched against the suspect’s story.

In this case police continued to conduct interviews after speaking to Kerry, as their investigation wasn’t over. But I do not think they were dragging their heels on the interviews with these three men. I think they purposely waited to speak with them on camera.

It would be much more efficient for police to interview first, get the interviewee’s statements on record, and then corroborate the specific things that the individual said afterwards, including their alibi. Which they didn’t do.
And it certainly was not advisable to wait 50 days to interview someone who knew the Sherman’s intimately, and who had already expressed hatred for the Sherman family. Remember, the Sherman children were I am sure very frightened, and had to engage private security during that time. No one knew if the children and other family members might also be targets of the killer(s).
The police believed the killer was already dead. So why rush any investigation…..

You may wish suspects were Interviewed before witnesses, but that is not the way it works. Witness statements and physical evidence lead police to identify suspects.

Again, you can attend literally any trial in Canada and see this in action.

I do not know if it is a coincidence or something to focus on, but there seems to be a common thread of disruptive actions emanating from one person.

The refusal to arrange mortgaging on real estate properties, when requested by Barry Sherman.
The ending of Honey's sister, free storage space.
The firing of Jack Kay after he stepped in to run Apotex.
The construction of the Hockey Arena.
Now the current lawsuit with the trustee's.

Is there a pattern, to undo everything that Honey and Barry established, when they were alive?


Also Jon has stated “I’m not going to kill my dad because he needs $50 million to get through a crisis,”
I find this an interesting turn of words, as I always believed the crisis was Jon's (who appeared not to be able to pay the money back) not Barry's.

MOO

I completely agree. Jon has a peculiar perspective on things. It also says a lot that he tried to turn it around and blame his Dad for having a crisis. IF he isn't responsible for their deaths, he certainly has been dancing on their graves, IMO.

You keep this thread alive! I think the slowing of comments is unfortunately the result of a lack of new information, nothing to do with your thought-provoking post.

I'll tread lightly here based on some previously modded posts, but I think there are a lot of large personalities at play in this case, BS and HS included.

I believe the ultimate motive is most likely a (real or perceived) personal slight, even if money is involved. For example, not the fact that a loan was being recalled, but WHY it was being recalled and whose loans were picked to be called first. Another scenario I'm considering involves founders/scientists at Apotex or their acquisitions - someone who had pride in their research and, regardless of the money exchanged, disagreed with the handling of their life's work.

I think it's important to note that it's possible to make a lot of money in a deal and still harbor resentment. Someone receiving "good" money shouldn't necessarily rule them out, IMO, especially the closer their orbit to the Ss and the more opportunities they had to keep score. IME, people in this tax bracket are exponentially more likely to make a mountain out of a molehill when their feelings get hurt (which is often).

Re: your questions - I do think it's possible/likely that, while JS is not involved in the murders, he has strong feelings about how to run things "his way," similarly to how BS had his own opinions and ways of operating. Now free to spend his money how he pleases, he's doing just that. I actually think the way he's acting makes him even less likely to be involved - he's being pretty brazen.

I forget what my overall theory is in this case, to be quite honest. I hope it's solved soon - I wonder if we'll be shocked in the end...
