About this episode

The episode discusses the murder of Sharon McLane in December 1996 and the investigation that followed.

In December 1996, 32-year-old Sharon McLane was murdered inside her home in Bedford, a brutal crime that immediately shook family, friends, and investigators. As detectives began piecing together Sharon’s final hours, questions quickly emerged. Who would want to hurt her? Was this a crime of opportunity, or did someone Sharon knew walk through that door? Sharon’s her life, her relationships, and the circumstances leading up to the night she was killed were vague. As investigators work to establish a timeline, early evidence and witness statements begin to paint a troubling picture, one that suggests Sharon’s killer may not have been a stranger at all. This is the beginning of a case that would raise serious questions, uncover conflicting accounts, and leave those closest to Sharon searching for the truth. Part one of three.
