The Pit

I’ve teamed with a CBC podcast crew to help see an investigation into a missing woman through to the end of a high-profile murder trial. I’ve been leading the reporting, co-producing and sound mixing the latest episodes of The Pit.

Podcast synopsis: When Sheree Fertuck’s truck is found abandoned, suspicions grow around what happened to her. This CBC investigation uncovers a story of guns, violence, and loss -- and of the gravel pit that could still hold clues about her disappearance.

Episode 8 | The Trial

With the trial about to begin, Greg’s lawyer explains why he’s representing Greg even though he doesn’t trust or believe him. We explore which factors could decide the verdict. With Sheree still missing, her sisters ponder what they want from the trial.

Episode 9 | Six More Months

A last minute decision puts the trial on hold for another six months. Sheree's family is shocked, and Greg is still in jail. Why would Greg's lawyers want their client in jail longer, and why couldn't this case go ahead when others have? Meanwhile someone close to Sheree finally speaks up.
