The Bathtub Girls case remains one of Canadian criminal history’s most chilling and perplexing incidents. In 2003, two teenage sisters from Mississauga, Ontario, meticulously planned and executed the murder of their mother, Linda Anderson.

This case, which initially appeared as an accidental drowning, was solved through a complex investigation involving undercover operations and digital evidence. The story of the sisters, their motives, and the tragic outcome is a horrific case of juvenile crime.

The Background

Linda Anderson was a single mother raising her children in Mississauga, Ontario. She struggled with alcoholism, a condition that worsened after her second marriage ended. Her husband’s departure left Linda to support the family on her own, exacerbating her depression and dependency on alcohol.

Linda’s daughters, Sandra and Elizabeth, bore the brunt of their mother’s struggles. The family faced financial hardships, and the girls took on household responsibilities at a young age. They resented their mother for spending money on alcohol instead of providing for their needs.
