August 22, 2011. Chilliwack, British Columbia. After not hearing from him for three days, the parents of 38-year old Corey Scherbey enter his residence and discover his body in a kneeling position in front of his couch and there is a large pool of fluids on the floor. The police conclude that Corey died of an accidental drug overdose and started decomposing before he was found. However, since Corey’s father had seen an unidentified woman in his house with him prior to his death and there is other suspicious evidence pointing towards foul play – including an anonymous cryptic letter - the Scherbeys believe that Corey was killed by an outside party. In 2020, a coroner’s inquest is held in which a jury agrees with the original ruling that Corey’s death was accidental, but his family continues to maintain he was murdered. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we travel back to our home country of Canada to explore a suspicious death which is still surrounded by unanswered questions.

If you have any information about this case, please contact the Chilliwack detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at (604) 792-4611.
