Summary

Episode 372: In the spring of 2007, Glen Douglas Race’s violent odyssey escalated from a regional nightmare in Nova Scotia to an international manhunt that spanned two countries and left a trail of devastation in its wake. After the murders of Michael Knott and Trevor Brewster, Race fled Canada, later claiming that he was driven by delusions of a supernatural war against “demons” and “vampires” that only he could see. His flight would lead him to yet another murder at a hunting lodge in upstate New York, that of Darcy Manor, 35. He was eventually arrested in Texas after a violent confrontation with U.S. Border Patrol, and ultimately faced justice in two nations. Psychiatric experts grappled with the question of whether he was a cold-blooded killer or a man so consumed by mental illness that he could no longer distinguish reality from fantasy. Ultimately, justice on either side of the border looked very different. Sources:2014 NSSC 6 (CanLII) | R. v.
