Ep 1: Terror In Renfrew County It was a beautiful fall day in Renfrew County, Ontario, when the first of three 911 calls came into the local police dispatch. The woman on the other end of the phone was screaming. A man had just shot her sister. Then, a second call. A young man had just witnessed his mother being attacked by a gun-wielding man in their home. Finally, a third call. A local real estate agent had just found her client dead in her cottage, and it looked like she had been strangled. Three women killed in less than two hours in a quiet rural community. Yet, it didn't take the police long to know who their number one suspect was. He was a man who had a long history of domestic violence and abuse, but ultimately, nothing prevented him from enacting his ultimate revenge on the women who had stood up to him. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
