  The Cannington Cover-Up: The Unsolved Shearer Family Murders In the dead of night, flames devoured a quiet farmhouse—and a family's secrets. August 4, 2007. Cannington, Ontario—a sleepy rural haven where neighbors wave from unlocked porches—awakens to inferno. Firefighters battle the blaze on Cameron Street, only to unearth a nightmare: beloved teacher Don Shearer and his 16-year-old son Andrew, bludgeoned to death *before* the fire roared to life.
