Colin Thatcher and the murder of JoAnn Wilson [replay]

Colin Thatcher and the murder of JoAnn Wilson [replay]

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.
