The Lake Family Murders–Part 1

The Lake Family Murders–Part 1

By Kristi Lee | Canadian True Crime

[Part 1 of 2] One snowy night, a young family fell victim to a terrible accident…. or so it seemed. What really happened to this family - and why - would become fodder for national and international headlines that only got more curious as the investigation progressed.

This two-part series covers a historical case that resulted in the first ever kidnapping trial in the province of New Brunswick and the last double hanging in Canada.


Warning: this series includes the death of a young child. Please take care when listening.
