Bernie Herman and the murder of Braden Herman

from The Canadian Gothic · host CanadianGothic / Curiouscast

Prince Albert, SK - May 11, 2021 Bernie Herman has been with the RCMP for over 30 years and at 55 years old, retirement was inching closer every day. With a wife at home, children grown, and grandchildren to enjoy, you would expect the veteran Mountie was anxious spend his golden years stretching out in the life he spent a lifetime building. But, that's far from the way Bernie's story goes. For reasons we may never fully understand, Bernie formed a friendship with a young man he met on facebook and that relationship evolved into something between a father/son dynamic and an extramarital affair. What we do know, is that whatever motivated and nurtured the relationship isn't what ended it. While in his uniform, and with his RCMP issued firearm, Bernie shot his 25 year old lover dead in a wooded area on the outside of town. Evidence suggests he drove over his naked body as he left the scene. In this episode Madelayne Klein and I will discuss the story Bernie Herman, and the murder of Braden Herman.
