What does a Philadelphia junk artist have to do with the deaths of a wealthy Canadian pharma giant and his philanthropist wife? Maybe nothing, but it’s odd that their bodies were reportedly posed like a piece of junk sculpture that the Shermans displayed nearby. But this strange coincidence is just one of many in this most baffling of unsolved murder cases in Canadian history. Host Kathleen Goldhar goes on a byzantine journey to find out what kind of life do you have to live that your death spurns on multiple theories about who might have killed you, including some involving your closest family.

About The No Good, Terribly Kind, Wonderful Lives and Tragic Deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman: News of the mysterious deaths of billionaire Canadian pharma giant Barry Sherman and his philanthropist wife Honey in December 2017 reverberated around the world. Five years later, with no arrests and little news from the police, their deaths remain shrouded in mystery and conspiracy theories, with too many lingering questions. Not just who killed them, but what kind of life do you have to live that when you’re found dead, there are multiple theories, including some involving your own family?

That’s the question journalist Kathleen Goldhar set out to discover, in The No Good, Terribly Kind, Wonderful Lives and Tragic Deaths of Barry and Honey Sherman, as she explores who the Shermans really were and why too much money might have been what killed them in the end.

    Why the killer wanted both them die maybe if honey was alive he cant get what he wanted and why the killer made murdered scene look like Barry killed honey then himself and look like statues they have in their house Only one who lived with statues for long canbe inspired by them So the victims knew the killer and he was very close to them This is the teory based not on paranormal activity but based on analysis time and clues They are killed not for robbery in their wallets are found amount of chash they are killed by some one who wanted power and control on everything We hope this case solve soon as possible with or without money

    😮can’t believe from what I have listened to that 1.anyone let alone police would think it was suicide. 2. Discrepancies with cousin being in/not in their home. Didn’t know/see/meet them but can identify on some level. I highly doubt cousin was seriously told to kill wife. Can totally see asking about it if angry that day at wife. Further known is said cousin failed polygraph related to said question. (Ungrateful with sick demented mind from drugs and strongly continued displaced hate after deaths plus the kicker…idea of killing wife by hand of cousins known person taken a step further to him with accomplice kill both wife and husband . Trying to cozy up with children is expected hoping to get any of them to then continue giving him money. It seems obvious to me. When I see it so clearly I am very seldom wrong. I give my condolences to the families. I do hope the killer/s are found. May your parents memory forever be a blessing.
