the Murder of Jim Strutton and the case against Mae McEachern

Nighttime

Near Owen Sound, Ontario, 1988

On April 26th, 1988, a man was shot and killed in a remote cabin deep in rural Ontario—a single act of violence that raised more questions than answers.

Four witnesses were in the cabin that night, but their stories didn’t add up. They contradicted each other, and as the investigation continued, they even contradicted themselves. At the center of this confusing and unsettling case was Mae McEachern, a woman who would ultimately be charged with murder.

What really happened that night in the cabin?

In this episode of Nighttime, Mae's defense attorney and author Brian Barrie joins us to revisit the case, unpack the conflicting accounts, and explore the search for answers..
