Some murders don’t fade. They echo. In August, 2001, Gary Meier was found dead in his Lacombe County, Alberta, home. At the time, he was in a bitter battle with his estranged wife over his multi-million-dollar empire. There was no shortage of suspects. But the investigation stalled in a fog of silence, suspicion, and unresolved questions. What investigative journalist Lisa Joy uncovered was more than a murder. It was a tale of power, fear, and a community that knew more than it ever said. This is not a verdict. It’s a record. Of silence. Of shadows. Of a truth still just out of reach. Award-winning crime journalist Lisa Joy has followed the Gary Meier murder case since day one – through threats, silence, and shifting truths. Her investigation spans 25 years and draws on exclusive interviews with police, a private investigator, family, and witnesses.
