  • Colin Thatcher and the murder of JoAnn Wilson [replay]

    Colin Thatcher and the murder of JoAnn Wilson [replay]
    Mar 28 2026

    A man walking home from work suddenly hears screams coming from a house... then a single sharp crack.

    He follows the sound to the garage, where he finds a woman bleeding out on the floor.

    It's JoAnn Wilson, mother of three and ex-wife of Colin Thatcher, a high-profile Saskatchewan politician.


    Her murder was the tip of the iceberg of a decades-long saga that gripped the nation and drew comparison to the show Dallas — but would prove far darker than anything on TV.


    *Additional content warning: this episode contains mentions of domestic abuse.


    — This three-part series is a carefully selected replay from our archive. Parts 2 and 3 will be released over the next next two days. We'll be back with new episodes in late April.
