The Murder of Taylor Samson

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Saturday, Aug 15, 2015

Taylor Samson, a university student, tells his girlfriend he’ll be back soon and leaves carrying a duffel bag she assumes contains marijuana. When he never returns, fears grow that he was the victim of a drug deal gone wrong.

The investigation quickly becomes one of Nova Scotia’s most high-profile murder trials, involving two Dalhousie University students: Taylor, the victim, and William Sandeson, the accused, just days away from starting medical school.

In this series, we explore Taylor’s tragic death and the complex pursuit of justice that followed.
