Jon Mckiel - Monster of the Miramichi

Herohill review of Jon Mckiel's new album Confidence Lodge
http://www.herohill.com/2011/01/best-of-11-jon-mckiel-confidence-lodge.htm

At 10:40 a.m. on May 3, 1989 convicted killer Allan Legere escaped from a bathroom at the Dr. Georges L. Dumont Hospital in Moncton. He'd been taken to the hospital to be treated for an ear infection, under escort by guards from the Atlantic Institution, a maximum security penitentiary at Renous, N.B. Legere was serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of convenience store owner John Glendenning. On the way in to the hospital, Legere asked to go to the bathroom. At the time, he was wearing handcuffs and leg shackles. Once inside, he opened the door once, asked his guard for some toilet paper, then burst out. The cuffs and shackles were in the sink.

Allan Legere was on the run. That run would last for seven, very bloody months. In that time, he killed four people and sexually assaulted a fifth, leaving her for dead. The four were Annie Flam, an elderly storeowner; Donna and Linda Daughney, two middle-aged sisters; and Father James Smith, an elderly priest. The manner of their deaths, its sheer brutality, cruelty and savagery, shocked and terrified the community of Miramichi where the murders happened. That fear and terror spread throughout the province. People had guns and rifles under their beds.

Legere's escape and the subsequent murders provoked one of the largest manhunts in RCMP history. It also introduced Canadians to what was then a new science, DNA analysis, now so commonplace and taken so much for granted because of such television programs as CSI. There were no witnesses to his killings but Legere would be the first Canadian convicted of murder in large part because of the use of DNA.

@mikecarroll1995 He's never getting out of the Quebec jail man. Don't worry about it.

[Simbalis]

When he was hiding in Nova Scotia he hid in a barn that my great uncle was working at. One night he crept up behind my uncle nd hit him in the back of the head with a two by four.

The song is based on a Serial Killer that got loose in Miramichi, NB, Canada.
