Collision Course: The Darcy Allan Sheppard Case [2]

Author: Kristi Lee | Canadian True Crime August 21, 2024 Duration: 1:05:49

[Part 2 of 4] How the Media Failed. In the wake of Darcy’s death, a crisis PR firm succeeds in influencing the media – and public perception – with misleading and false information.


In this new four-part series, edited and re-mastered, you’ll hear a story of elites vs peasants, cars vs bicycles, and wealth and privilege vs poverty and crime. It’s a cautionary tale of how justice works differently in this country for some people.


Special thanks to Allan Sheppard, Joe Hendry and Victoria (the eyewitness). Thanks also to writer Mary Fairhurst Breen for editing and creative direction on this reboot series.
