S6 E57 Murder of a Model

Twenty-year-old Wanda Watson was an aspiring actor and model who moved from Victoria, BC to live with her older sister in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant. On August 3, 1991 she was stabbed to death in her home. The intruders then poured gasoline around the house and set it on fire.

There was surprisingly little information in the newspapers of the time. The conclusion was that Wanda had surprised a robbery in progress. Wanda's sister Vicki is not so sure. She says nothing was stolen. She thinks it’s more likely that Wanda answered the door to someone; it may have been strangers, someone who followed Wanda home or someone they both knew.
