About this audio guide
This guide to Parc Angrignon in Montreal returns to July 1, 2012, when an anonymous phone call led police to the reeds along the park's man-made lake and to a discovery tied to one of Canada's most notorious murder cases. You'll hear how investigators pieced together a trail that had already produced a torso in a suitcase and packages mailed across the country. The park itself dates to 1927, when what was once called Crawford Park was renamed for a local alderman, its lake and winding paths modeled on English gardens of the century before.
