The Sydney River McDonald's Murders - 1 - The Crime

When 18 year old McDonald's employee Derek Wood finished his shift, he lingered for a time in the closed restaurant before exiting. Unknown to the staff remaining to complete their nightly tasks, Derek had propped open a basement door and in a matter of moments he would return with two friends armed with knives, a shovel, and a gun.

The resulting robbery of the Sydney River McDonald's during the early morning hours in 1992 will leave three dead, one permanently disabled, and an entire community struggling to understand how this could happen and who was responsible.

During this series, the story will be told by royalty of Atlantic Canadian journalism, Phonse Jessome. Not only was Phonse one of the first on the scene that morning, he also wrote the bestselling book on the case, 'Murder at McDonald's'. Visit him at https://www.phonsejessome.ca
