The Mr. Big tactic used in Canada continues to be controversial as many believe it often elicits false confessions from those targeted by this undercover method. The case of Sebastian Burns and Atif Rafay is no exception. There is evidence that supports both sides of the argument as authorities in Canada and the US investigate the brutal murders of three members of the Rafay family.

Having been behind bars for almost two decades, Sebastian and Atif still claim their innocence. Were they wrongfully convicted? Were they manipulated into confessing to a crime they did not commit? Or did "Mr. Big" get it right?
