A Family's Fight Against Three Countries

Murder, cover up, and conspiracy in Singapore—the harrowing true story of an American mother’s battle for justice following her son’s murder.

On June 24, 2012, Dr. Shane Truman Todd, a young American engineer, was found hanging in his Singapore apartment, only days before his scheduled return home. Though he’d repeatedly expressed apprehension that his work with his oppressive Chinese company was becoming a threat to his own safety, as well as his country’s security, authorities immediately ruled Shane’s death a suicide. The US Government agreed and quickly closed the case. Shane’s family didn’t know what to believe—until they arrived in Singapore. The evidence suggested murder, not suicide. Their suspicions escalated when they found the external drive on Shane’s computer. The information on those files transformed their personal tragedy into an international saga of intrigue, deception, and collusion between three countries. What did Shane know that others had killed to keep hidden?

Now, Shane’s mother reveals the shocking and heartbreaking story of her son’s mysterious death, and his family’s arduous battle to reveal the truth against inconceivable odds.
