Mississauga Confidential Case 01 - Brute Force: The Murders of James and Eliza Williams

Today’s case is a crime of brute force. A brazen double homicide. A killer on the loose. Village tours through a house of death. A race against the clock to catch the killer--on Christmas Day!

Was it the neighbour who raised the alarm? Was it the brother-in-law set to inherit? Or was it the missing farmhand no one seems to remember?

These are the murders of James and Eliza Williams. From the case files of Heritage Mississauga, this is Mississauga Confidential.
