Midnight Massacre - The Donelly Murders (2005)

On a brutally cold Ontario night in 1880, a secret society made up of locals converges on the Donnelly homestead. In a savage attack, all four family members at home are cruelly bludgeoned to death, and the farmhouse set ablaze. The mob then continues to another farm where in cold blood they shoot and kill yet another member of the Donnelly family.In the ensuing investigation, two eyewitnesses to this massacre testify in two of the most sensational trials in Canadian history. Yet, no one is ever found guilty and there are no convictions made. 125 years later, using modern forensic methods, cold case detective Michael Boyd attempts to reconstruct the events and answer questions about what really occurred that fateful night and why no one was brought to justice.
