Two years ago, on December 13, 2017, Barry and Honey Sherman were murdered in their home. The police investigation has been and continues to be active and ongoing.

The work of the private investigative team hired by the family at the outset has been completed.

The Sherman family appreciates the hard work and dedication of the police officers working on the case. They are committed to working with us, and have full confidence that the Toronto Police Service will solve this crime.

To date, investigators have obtained 38 judicial authorizations, which have resulted in the searches of residential and commercial properties, electronic devices, and the production of 73 individual records.

One hundred and fifty items have been submitted to the Centre of Forensic Science for testing; 243 witnesses have been interviewed; and four terabytes of security video have been obtained.

Two hundred and five tips have been provided directly to the police from the public and, to date, 343 tips have been provided to the police via the private investigative team.

Seven hundred and one investigative actions have been assigned.

But we are still asking for help.

The family and the police urge anyone who has reliable information regarding the murders - no matter how small or unimportant that information may seem, to please contact the police through their usual channels – either anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS or directly to the Homicide Squad at 416-808-7400.

We have also set up a direct email address for this case and tips can be provided via shermantips@torontopolice.on.ca. This email address will only be accessed by police investigators directly assigned to the Sherman investigation. We would encourage anyone who has provided tips in the past to the private investigative team to please re-submit those tips directly to the police.

Last October, the Sherman family established a Collaborative Reward Program to assist the police in their investigation. Should any tip or information lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who perpetrated the murders, the Sherman family, in consultation with the Toronto Police Service, will be responsible for dissemination of any reward money.

It is important to note that Crimestoppers is an anonymous reporting mechanism. It is preferable under circumstances such as these to report any tips or information directly to investigators.

The Sherman family would also like to thank the public and the media for their continuing support during this difficult time. They request that their privacy be respected.

We would like to thank the Sherman family for their continued support and patience during this very lengthy investigation. Solving this case has always been the priority and responsibility of the Toronto Police Service, and our thoughts are always with the victims and their loved ones.
