Shattered Innocence: The Murders Leanne McFarlane and Jeffrey Taylor

from Dark Poutine - True Crime and Dark History · host Dark Poutine / Curiouscast

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.
