Read synopsis
Vicky Shachtay, a 23-year-old single mother paralyzed in a car crash, rebuilt her life after receiving a financial settlement meant to secure her future. She entrusted her investments to Brian Malley, a respected financial advisor in her small Alberta community. Years later, after her funds were mismanaged and mostly gone, Vicky was killed when a package disguised as a Christmas gift exploded in her home. The blast revealed a shocking betrayal: Malley had sent the bomb to silence her before she could expose his fraud. The case exposed a chilling blend of greed and calculation, as a trusted advisor turned murderer in a small-town tragedy that stunned Canada.
