The deaths of Canadian billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman have been shrouded in mystery from the beginning.
The story made headlines far beyond their affluent community in Toronto. Police called the deaths suspicious, and theories swirled about who might have wanted to kill the founder of Canadian generic drug giant Apotex and his philanthropic wife – one of Canada's richest couples.On this week's anniversary of the killings, the Shermans' son offered an additional $25 million for information leading to an arrest.
"The manner was undetermined with the only presented options being double suicide, murder/suicide or double homicide," Detective Sergeant Susan Gomes said.Barry Sherman founded Apotex in 1974 and expanded it into a global pharmaceutical company that has donated over $75 million to charity, according to its website. At the time of his death, Forbes estimated he was worth $4.5 billion.
At the service an emotional Jonathon Sherman took the stage, flanked by his three sisters, and slammed speculation that their parents died by suicide. Toronto police later said investigators never prematurely indicated the case was a murder-suicide, saying it was a misunderstanding. Authorities said they had sought to reassure the public that there was no sign that it was a break-and-enter or robbery with violence.Six weeks after the bodies were found, Toronto police announced a review of evidence showed they were victims of a homicide, saying they believed the couple was targeted.
Police have indicated there are possible financial motives in the double homicide, according to the CBC, a CNN affilate. A Toronto police spokesperson declined to comment to CNN on that report.Police outside the Toronto residence of Barry and Honey Sherman after they were found dead on December 15, 2017.
Weeks turned into months without any new leads. Even investigators admitted the family was getting impatient with the lack of information. They called attention to the unusual gait of the suspect, who seemed to kick up their right heel while walking. "So far there has been no justice for them and no closure for me and my family," she said in a statement this week.
