Description
On June 24, 2012, Dr. Shane Truman Todd, a young American engineer, was found hanging in his Singapore apartment, just a week before his scheduled return to the United States. Although Shane had repeatedly expressed apprehension about his work with a Chinese company and fear his life was being threatened, authorities immediately ruled his death a suicide. His family initially didn't know what to believe. However, upon arriving in Singapore, they realized the evidence suggested not suicide, but murder.
Shane's family later discovered that what they thought was a computer speaker was actually an external hard drive with thousands of files from Shane's computer. The information in those files transformed this story from a tragic suicide to an international saga of mystery, deceit, and cover-up, involving three countries.
"Hard Drive: A Families Fight against Three Countries" is the captivating story of Shane's mysterious death and his family's grueling battle to reveal the truth against powerful forces that have sought to conceal, destroy, or discredit evidence indicating homicide. This story, which is told from the unique perspective of Shane's mother, Mary, recounts the family's painful, arduous, and unwavering endeavor to reveal the truth about what happened to Shane Todd in Singapore
