Crime Beat: The Death of Christine Demeter - By Persons Unknown Pt. 1 | S5 E20

On a warm summer night in 1973, building developer Peter Demeter pulls a Mercedes full of tourists into his driveway after a shopping trip. As the garage door opens, headlights illuminate a horrific scene, the bludgeoned body of his wife and model, 33-year-old Christine Demeter.
Though Peter has an airtight alibi, investigators launch an epic investigation, and discover a story and cast of characters that is stranger than fiction. Model mistresses, million-dollar insurance policies, and a Hungarian hitman are revealed.

    Mississauga did not exist then. It was the Cooksville department. Dundas Cresent was in Erindale. The destruction of some of the best farmland in Canada began when Ms. McCallum did behind the scenes deals with developers to destroy one of Canadas breadbaskets and turn it into a paved road, highway and high rise disaster which deprives the future, forever, from some of the best fruit in the world. Rather than lauded as a great Mayor, she should have been incarcerated for insider trading and financial crimes.

    I worked as a temp for someone hired by Peter Demeter, & this was quite a while after he's been imprisoned. I saw one of Demeter's letters that had arrived recently. I don't know if there was a problem getting hold of stationery in the prison, but the handwriting, first of all, was tiny & cramped. After the page was fully written up, Demeter had then written in all 4 of the margins, writing all around in a circle until they were all filled up too. Reeeeeally strange.
