Some current news for you now: Cody Legebokoff, one of Canadas youngest ever serial killers, was handed four life sentences today for the murders of four young girls in 2009 and 2010. ~Dahmer Sutra Police only cracked those cases after the death of a 15-year-old girl from Fraser Lake who had met Legebokoff online. The teen, Loren Leslie, was found dead on a remote logging road just off Highway 27 near Vanderhoof, B.C., in November 2010. Legebokoff was arrested after an RCMP officer stopped him after he was spotted turning onto the highway from that unused logging road. The officer reported seeing a blood smear on Legebokoffs face and legs, and there was a pool of blood in the truck. A conservation officer, suspecting poaching, went up the logging road to investigate and found Leslies body. Investigators determined she had died only several hours before Legebokoff had been arrested. Legebokoff had pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree murder in B.C. Supreme Court, testifying that he was present at the deaths of the three women and the teenage girl, but that he did not commit the murders. That plea was not accepted by the court. Legebokoff, who was 19 when the first murder took place, is among Canadas youngest serial killers but is not the youngest on record. In 1957, 17-year-old Peter Woodcock was imprisoned for the rape and murder of three young children in Toronto. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and spent the rest of his life behind bars, but still managed to kill another inmate before his own death in 2010.
