Shattered Innocence: The Murders Leanne McFarlane and Jeffrey Taylor

Episode 362: On the morning of May 29, 2010, gunshots shattered the quiet of a rural property just outside Cranbrook, British Columbia. By the time police arrived at the scene, two lives had been tragically cut short in an apparent case of mistaken identity. The victims were Jeffrey Todd Taylor, 42, and Leanne Laura MacFarlane, 43, a couple who had been renting half of a duplex on a large piece of land for about three months. They had no connection to the criminal underworld and appeared to have been innocent victims caught in the crossfire of a drug gang dispute. Over the last 15 years, authorities and the couple’s family and friends have fought to bring their killers to justice.

It would become a transformative technology as the then-emerging science helped investigators as they worked to solve a true whodunnit. Join Global News senior crime reporter Nancy Hixt as she shares an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at forensic DNA testing with a pioneer of this technology in Canada and one of the members of that original investigative team in Inside Forensics: Solving a murder in the mountains.

The Boyce House

On Fredericton’s Waterloo Row you'll find a grey Victorian mansion with a bright red roof. In the 1960s the grand old mansion was converted into a men's residence for University of New Brunswick students but decades earlier it had been the home of Mae and Walter Boyce. He donated the equivalent of half a million dollars to start Fredericton’s beloved Boyce Farmers Market. The couple died in the early 50s and since then residents have experienced spooky happenings, like objects and furniture being moved around, doors opening and closing in the night, and ghostly silhouettes drifting around the house. They claimed that Boyce House's constant inhabitant is a friendly ghost that continues to care for people who live in there today.
