Coming Soon as Part of History Television's Crime Week
Beginning September 20th at 9PM EST.
Six members of the Bentley/Johnson family disappear without a trace. A young Vancouver woman is tied to a tree and sexually assaulted for 9 straight days just yards away from the busiest highway in Canada. A wealthy Ontario realtor and his wife are found murdered in the trunk of their car. The entire town of Miramichi is held hostage by a monster.
This is not fiction. These stories are right out of the headlines, presented in Crime Stories, a brand new investigative series from Emmy® Award-Winning Partners in Motion. Those who chronicled the investigations from beginning to end take the viewers behind the scenes of some of Canada's most sensational crimes.
The initial episodes tell the stories of four Canadian criminals who shocked the nation: Allan Legere, Terry Driver, David Snow, and David Shearing. While the news media brought us the headlines, Crime Stories examines the details with never before seen footage, personal accounts and shocking revelations. These first-hand accounts, dramatic re-enactments, news footage, clippings and photographs paint a
comprehensive, disturbing picture from beginning to end.
'These are crimes right out of nightmares,' says Chris Triffo, Director,
'You don’t think it happens here. But it has. These stories are told by the people who
made sure the bad guys didn’t get away.'
Crime Stories was made with support from History Television, Canal D, CTF: License Fee Program, Saskfilm, Saskatchewan Film Employment Tax Credit, and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit.
