The Toronto Star has won court-approved access to police investigative documents in the 4-year-old Barry and Honey Sherman murder case. The Star reveals what the children, friends and business associates of the Shermans told detectives in their interviews. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
There’s an old saying in homicide investigations, “there are no secrets in a murder case,” something made abundantly clear in police documents newly unsealed by the court. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
The files, a collection of interview statements and police theories, also shed new light on Honey’s sister’s belief that the couple was murdered for religious reasons. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
Brad Krawczyk, who is married to Sherman daughter Alexandra, works for Sherfam, Barry’s holding company. He told detectives “Barry seemed quiet lately, but not sad despite losing a total of about a billion dollars in lawsuits in the last three months.” thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
As the Star has previously reported, there was a cash crunch in late 2017, and Barry was looking for ways to pay numerous settlements. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
With court-approved access to police documents, information is being released chronologically. The Star reported last week that by summer 2021 the hope of catching a killer through phone tracking failed, leading to the release of the “walking man” video. thestar.com/news/investiga…

They’re ‘floppy’ and don’t fit: Parents want to know why Ontario sent children adult-sized masks dlvr.it/SHR7wH

As Torontonians burrow out from under a once-in-a-decade snowfall this week, thousands of residents who use on-street parking spaces are in a similar bind. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
