Colin Thatcher has spent more than 21 years in prison for
the 1983 murder of his ex-wife, JoAnn Wilson, in Regina.
He has always denied killing her, or hiring someone to kill
her.
Wilson's body was found in the garage of her Regina
home on Jan. 21, 1983. The 43-year-old woman had
been beaten and shot in the head.
Thatcher was a member of the Saskatchewan legislature
who had resigned as the Conservative energy minister
four days before Wilson died.
For four years leading up to the murder, Wilson and
Thatcher had been involved in a bitter struggle over
the terms of their divorce and child-custody
agreement.
TIMELINE- INTERESTING STUFF...
It took almost 16 months for Regina police to gather enough
evidence to charge Colin Thatcher with first-degree murder
in the killing of his ex-wife, JoAnn Wilson. She was beaten
and shot in the head in the garage of her home on
Jan. 21, 1983.
Thatcher and Wilson were divorced three years earlier and
had gone through an acrimonious – and very public – custody
battle.
They had been married for 17 years and had three children,
Greg, Regan and Stephanie.
Wilson remarried a year after the divorce. On May 17, 1981,
Wilson was shot in the shoulder when someone fired a
high-powered rifle through her kitchen window.
She spent three weeks in hospital. No one was arrested in
that incident.
Two months later, she agreed to give up custody of her
youngest child and to accept half of the $1 million
originally ordered by the courts in her divorce agreement.
She said she wanted to end the bitter battle with her
ex-husband.
WELL WHAT CAN I SAY?
This man is dangerous and should be ordered
to stay away from women.
