S3 E29 When Cops were Murderers

Len Hogue was one of three dirty VPD cops who supplemented their salaries initially through B&Es, escalated to bank robberies, and in 1965 pulled off the biggest heist in Vancouver’s history - $1.2 million worth of bank notes that were being sent back to Ottawa to be destroyed. When police officials caught on, 33-year-old Hogue went home, shot his sleeping wife in the head, and then hunted down and shot his six kids aged between 3 and 14 before turning the gun on himself. Or did he? This is part two of two.

This episode is based on a story from Cold Case BC: the stories behind the province's most sensational murders and missing persons cases
