This week, we discuss the mysterious death of 31-year-old Amanda Antoni, whose body was discovered in the basement of the family home under suspicious circumstances in Calgary, Canada. What initially seemed like an unfortunate accident soon turned into a case full of unanswered questions.
We walk through the timeline of events from Amanda's last known whereabouts to the moment her husband Lee discovered her body in the basement days later. We’ll also discuss the investigation, what was uncovered, and the challenges investigators faced in piecing together what happened. With little clarity around Amanda's official cause of death, this case still remains an unsettling mystery after ten years.
