Shafia Family Murders

Ep 68: On June 30, 2009, a black Nissan Sentra was found submerged in the Rideau Canal in Ontario Canada. The car contained the bodies of three young girls and one older woman.

It would seem on the outset like a tragic accident but a deeper look would reveal that these women were targeted by someone they knew in an act of betrayal that would shock the entire country
