  • Ray Johnson was a loving father and grandfather. He lost the love of his life to cancer--and also battled cancer himself. His hobby was hunting for bargains and he was well known in garage sale/antique/flea market circles.
    Then one day in January 2009, he didn’t show up for a family dinner. Not long after his body was found stuffed in an antique trunk and dumped along some train tracks.
    Evidence led police to a second crime scene where the murder took place. Who would kill this loving grandfather?

    The more I watch these crime beat episodes, the more I realise how horrible the Canadian “justice” system is. He got let out to attend his grandmothers funeral..? Interesting since he took someone else’s grandpa away from them in cold blood. Why does he deserve to go say his goodbyes? Canada really isn’t right when it comes to punishing criminals

      Did you know womens min security prison is basically like living on a woman's camp ground. Not actual jail cells? And they wonder why criminals re offend.

      I went to college in lethbridge Alberta and I policing. When we started to learn about the justice system and law here in Canada it's sad. It actually made me stop.

    Its always the good ones- the ones who really treat mankind with goodness- that get cut down by ones whose lives should be cut short instead for the evil they do. The evil just live on and on and on. Why this gem of a soul had to go this way? Its all too much. 😭😭😭😭

    Ray seems like he was a genuine person surrounded by love. You can tell how good he was by how they talk about him. He didn't deserve this, and the family doesn't deserve having to deal with this trauma.

    You guys should do the story of Brayton Bullock in Barrie. His 16 year old cousin stabbed him to death when he was 14, the cousin was tried as an adult and was described as having psychopathic tendencies, then was recently released on a technicality after 12 or 13 years.

    My father was murdered when I was a young girl we found out on Father's day he was murdered . He was shot in the head and his body was dumped out on a dirt road. My father carried cash also. The police said my father was rob of all money and ID he had a airplane ticket in his inside coat pocket that is how they figured out who he was. The police never found out who murdered my father. My heart goes out to this family their father seems to have been a really good man. I am so glad they found the people who murdered their father. I know from experience it never goes away. People will stop at nothing to get what they want. They think murder is a good idea. Like the police will not figure it out who did it. I am so glad they were caught and put in prison. Charged with first degree murder life in prison. These people are such a wonderful family. God bless them.

    Mr. Johnson was a kind, generous man who deeply loved his family, as his family loved him.
    Although he left his family too early...he had a great life.
    His family was blessed to have him for 78, wonderful years.
    celebrate how he lived...not how he died. It's absolutely priceless to have known and loved a man like that.
    Enjoy your beautiful memories, even if it was just reading the newspaper together.
