  Welcome to Chapter 4 In Chapter 3 , we stepped into the troubled mind of Ian McLeod—a man burdened by legacy, fractured by family, and haunted by choices that left him bitter and alone. As Ian’s carefully cultivated image collapsed, so too did his control over the farm, his sons, and the ghosts of a marriage long lost. His final months revealed a man quietly desperate for redemption—but unwilling or unable to seek it aloud. Now, in Chapter 4, the investigation into Ian’s disappearance deepens. Detective Jean Lavallee begins to peel back the layers of silence that surround the McLeod family. Truths that have been buried—like secrets in the Blackstone soil—are about to surface. What really happened to Ian McLeod? And how much did those closest to him know Chapter 4   The Suspects and the Detective   The Evening of the Day the Body  was Discovered :   Gerald and Jerome McLeod:   Paul O’Grady, LLP, QC, of Brighton, Quebec, sat across from his ...

But that image began to crack a year earlier, after his wife Doris packed her bags and left him.   The once-pristine property grew unkempt: fences sagged, tools ruste...

Chapter 2   Disappearance   Three   Weeks   Earlier:   George McLeod lived on the edge of Blackstone Isle, near the 200-acre farm his brother Ian called home. While Ian’s life was tethered to the rhythms of the land, George’s revolved around the island’s small Catholic primary school, where he taught grades 5 and 6. Blackstone Isle, once vibrant with the chatter of farming families, had grown quieter over the years.
