Wondery
About this episode

October 26, 2015. Calgary, Canada. When a phone call Lee Antoni had with his wife, Amanda, was cut short while he was over 400 miles away visiting family, he didn’t expect the worst. When she failed to respond to his calls and texts over the weekend he assumed she was busy. It was only when he returned home to find his wife absent, and their pets hungry, that he truly became concerned. In the basement, where the walls and floor were covered with blood, Lee discovered his wife, Amanda Antoni, dead. Investigators would leave no stone unturned in their search for answers.
