About this episode

The episode recounts the murder of JoAnn Wilson, ex-wife of politician Colin Thatcher, and the ensuing saga that captivated Canada.

A three-part series—A man walking home from work suddenly hears screams coming from a house... then a single sharp crack. He follows the sound to the garage, where he finds a woman bleeding out on the floor.   It's JoAnn Wilson, mother of three and ex-wife of Colin Thatcher, a high-profile Saskatchewan politician.  Her murder was the tip of the iceberg of a decades-long saga that gripped the nation and drew comparison to the show Dallas — but would prove far darker than anything on TV. *Additional content warning: this episode contains mentions of domestic abuse. — This series is a carefully selected replay from our archive.
