Allan Legere was arrested for murder, but managed to escape prison. He then went on to murder, rape and commit arson multiple times over before being arrested again and sent back to prison. Which then begs the question: was he born to kill?

Robert Hare who developed the psychopath checklist, has noted that psychopaths often are model prisoners, manipulating everyone around them. They do not benefit from counseling, but use it as a manipulation tool. They have an abnormal brain structure and are incapable of feeling remorse.

We love to dissect childhood trauma when a man kills five people… but we never ask who was traumatized by him. Being unloved doesn’t make you a killer. Millions grow up broken and never set a house on fire. Let’s not confuse causation with justification

He was not sentenced to Life W/O parole! After 25 years he was eligible but denied in 2021. Only a matter of time before they might slip up and he will get out and do it again!

I worked with the truck driver up until last year. Crazy story

I knew Alan, although not closely...He was the DJ at the Zodiac Club in Chatham NB, and we would often talk about music and bands of the time...I knew well from his reputation, that he was a dangerous individual back then...Alan was one of those people who completely changed after a few drinks...Jekyll and Hide for real...

Just three years ago, at my former job, a retired prison guard told me about allan legere's M. o.He had been moved from Renous prison to British Columbia because he had some of the guards so takin in with his mind control. The example was, if he talked to you on the street, and you sayed you were a Red Sox fan, the next time you saw him, he would pull up on his motorcycle wearing a Red Sox shirt or hat. It was that simple.

He has little man’s disease. He had to always prove he was powerful. Unless you were taller and stronger than him. He’s actually a kitty.

I remember when this happened. The whole province talked about it and I think every household had a talk about being safe

Around 27mins an officer describes Legere starting a fire in a house with a book after driving 1hr 30mins to get to the place. The guy then says that when police checked they were told 'hes here'.
If the guy was 'at large' at the time of this crime, who were they checking with?
