In this episode, we dissect the chilling crimes of Allan Legere—infamously known as the “Monster of the Miramichi.” We track his brutal escape, the community-wide manhunt, the shocking murders, and the enduring impact on those left in his wake. From tense midnight gatherings to long-standing fears of future parole, Miramichi’s ordeal exemplifies what happens when evil breaches the boundary of small-town safety.
