The daughter of Barry and Honey Sherman is urging anyone with information about the couple’s murders to come forward as the fifth anniversary of their deaths approaches.
In a statement released Thursday, Alex Krawczyk says there has been no closure for her family since her parents were found dead at their Toronto home five years ago.
“If you have any information about the murders of my parents, I urge you to please contact the Toronto Police Service,” Krawczyk wrote. “The $10-million reward for information leading to a conviction remains available and is still unclaimed.”
Barry Sherman was the founder of the generic pharmaceutical company Apotex, and he and his wife were philanthropists and well-known members of Toronto society. Their deaths sparked intense public interest and the resulting police investigation.
The two were found dead inside their mansion in the area of Bayview Avenue and Highway 401 on Dec. 15, 2017.
Investigators have said autopsy results showed they died by “ligature neck compression.” Police determined there were no signs of a break-in at the couple’s home.
“The horrific manner in which they were taken from us has been extremely traumatic and has irreparably damaged the fabric of our community,” says Krawczyk.
In addition to offering a $10-million reward for any info, the family also hired its own team of private investigators to look into the homicides.
Last year, police announced they had identified a suspect in the murders through video surveillance. Investigators said at the time they combed through hours of video footage and were able to exclude everyone who appeared in the videos as a suspect, except for one individual.
