The Alberta Murders
From a family found beneath a garage floor in 1959 Stettler, to the 2005 Mayerthorpe ambush of four RCMP officers, to an Edmonton filmmaker who turned a scripted “kill room” into real murder, and a highway execution near Claresholm in 2011—this episode examines four Alberta cases that shattered the province’s sense of safety. Through records, trial testimony, and survivor accounts, The Alberta Murders traces how violence emerged in ordinary places, how investigators followed fragile leads, and how communities struggled with trauma long after the headlines faded.
