Hanna Buxbaum was found dead July 5, 1984 on a highway near London, Ontario after having been shot in the head three times.
Helmuth Buxbaum had taken out a $1 million life insurance policy on his wife shortly before her murder.
The Crown attorney prosecuting the case argued that Buxbaum had hired a hitman to kill his wife for $10,000 and had pulled over to the side of the road so that the man could drag her out of the car and shoot her.
