Dec 11, 2023•6 min
Episode description
Cody Alan Legebokoff, a Canadian serial killer, was convicted in 2014 by the British Columbia Supreme Court for the heinous murders of three women and one teenage girl. His crimes, committed between 2009 and 2010, sent shockwaves through the community of Prince George, British Columbia, and across Canada, raising serious concerns about safety and criminal justice.
Arrest and Conviction
Legebokoff was arrested on November 27, 2010, initially for the murder of Loren Leslie. His arrest was somewhat fortuitous; a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer stopped him for a routine check when he was driving out of a logging road. The officer noticed blood in his vehicle, which eventually led to the discovery of Leslie's body.
Further investigation linked Legebokoff to the other murders, primarily through forensic evidence. In September 2014, he was convicted on four counts of first-degree murder. The trial revealed a disturbing pattern of brutal violence against young women, causing widespread alarm and revulsion.
