92 The Murder of Robin Greene - Part 2

[ Part 1 of 2 ]MANITOBA  |   In 2003, the day after Canada Day, a 33 year old man walked through the front door of the Winnipeg Remand Centre. He said he’d woken up in his hotel room and there was a dead, dismembered body in the bathtub.  He insisted he blanked out and couldn’t remember committing the murder.The circumstances of the case were shocking and unbelievable enough, but within a few days a hollywood angle involving a stolen celebrity necklace ended up being the main headline. Eventually, the case caught the attention of amateur writer Dan Zupansky, who would land an opportunity that he couldn’t refuse. An opportunity to get the truth from Sydney, and get justice for Robin Greene—no matter what it took.More information:Dan Zupansky’s book:  Trophy Kill: The Shall We Dance Murder by Dan ZupanskyTrue Murder podcast: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/dan-zupansky1Podcast recommendation:COMMONS: Real Estate!Thanks for supporting our sponsors!See the special offer codes here Don't like the ads?Access early episodes without the ads plus bonus content and more on Patreon and Supercast.
