Ashley Schwamm

And I'm like, why aren't there more people, like, defending him?

Detectives weren't sharing any information about the murder.

They continued to gather evidence and were about to learn.

The plot was more diabolical than they imagined.

That's like a whole new level of evil.

News spread quickly about James Schwamm's arrest.

Mike Arcelides is a reporter for CTV.

He covers the Collingwood area.

This didn't just make news in Canada.

This made news around the world.

It's the same community I once covered as a young reporter.

And to protect your valuables in general, you may want to have an alarm system installed.

I covered fires and accidents and everything in between, but never a story like this one.

Ashley's murder shook the community to its core.

There was one night our kitchen was lit up with flashlights in their backyard.

Literally a crime scene.

And it was just an eerie, awful feeling.

Police believe the couple had a fight and James just snapped.

Until a man walked into the police station.

I'll never forget that day.
