Secrets, Lies and Suicides

On the evening of April 8, 1968 Roger Allan Williams showed up at the home of Linda Ann Wood in East Vancouver. Minutes later Linda was found in a pool of blood on her porch. Linda had been stabbed over 14 times to her torso, neck and chest. She died in an ambulance en route to Vancouver General Hospital.

After his trial, Roger Williams was sentenced to life in prison for the brutal murder of Linda Ann Wood. Decades later an archive of Roger's poetry, articles, short stories and artwork was found at the Matsqui Prison. This treasure trove would one day help another man heal from Secrets Lies and Suicides.
