4:42
Peak found a room at a boarding

house on North Street in our facts
4:46
and his parents wanted to help support
4:49
their sons independence. From So
4:51
May first was the first full
4:53
day. Glenn was set loose to
4:55
explore the world on his own
4:58
terms and it started off well.
5:03
Glenn spent today shopping and
5:05
running errands. stopping bike shop,
5:07
a grocery store, a bank,
5:09
and the library. That

only question was whether Glenwood be

own. on
5:54
the very same day glenn moved into
5:56
his apartment forty four year old paul
5:58
not was running a few parents of
6:00
his own in Halifax. Paul
6:02
was a recently retired veteran of the
6:04
Canadian Armed Forces, where he served as
6:06
a Navy cook. He'd done
6:09
two tours of duty in the Persian
6:11
Gulf and had been stationed as a
6:13
NATO peacekeeper along the border between Egypt
6:15
and Israel. But now
6:17
he was a dad and family man. Despite
6:20
being separated from his wife, they
6:22
remained friends. He loved
6:24
pottering around his garden, making DIY
6:27
repairs on the house and cooking
6:29
his famous chicken parmesan for the
6:31
kids. And on May
6:33
4, he spent the day taking
6:35
his 17-year-old daughter Jennifer shopping around
6:38
town. Just the year before,
6:40
Paul had helped his son Andrew move away
6:42
from home for the first time, and he
6:44
knew it wouldn't be long before Jennifer was
6:46
old enough to move out on her own
6:49
as well. After finishing up
6:51
their errands, Paul dropped his daughter off
6:53
at her job, kissed her goodbye, and
6:55
promised he'd see her when she got
6:57
home after her shift. Some
7:02
time later, when Jennifer was at work,
7:04
Paul left his home and drove out
7:07
to a place called Citadel Hill. Located
7:09
at the center of Halifax, Citadel
7:12
Hill is the site of an old
7:14
military fort dating back to the 18th
7:17
century. The star-shaped fortress is a
7:19
tourist attraction and a living history
7:21
museum, surrounded by quiet green space
7:24
and a few shady trees. But
7:27
after dark, Citadel Hill has
7:29
a very different reputation. Because
7:32
of the location's relative privacy compared
7:34
to the rest of the city,
7:36
it's a popular spot for gay men to
7:38
cruise. Or in other
7:41
words, to find other men interested
7:43
in having discrete intimate encounters. And
7:46
it wasn't uncommon for Paul to cruise
7:48
Citadel Hill after dark. The
7:51
system was simple, park your car in
7:53
the right area, and eventually someone would
7:55
come up to your window and strike
7:57
up a conversation. was
8:00
right. You'd invite the person into your
8:02
car and things would progress from there.
8:05
Paul's sexual preferences weren't exactly a
8:07
secret, but he wasn't very public
8:09
about it either. When
8:11
he felt the urge, he'd head to Citadel
8:14
Hill and meet other men who were looking
8:16
for a little anonymous trade. Which
8:19
is exactly what Paul was expecting
8:21
when he parked his Blue Chevrolet
8:23
Malibu that evening. But
8:25
when Jennifer's shift ended at 9pm,
8:28
she returned home to an empty house. Her
8:31
father was nowhere to be seen.
8:36
Unbeknownst to anyone at that time,
8:38
Paul had met another man while he
8:41
was out cruising Citadel Hill. And
8:43
that man was Glenn Race, out
8:45
and about on his very first
8:48
evening living on his own. But
8:50
while everyone else in Glenn's life was
8:52
hoping he could make it through a
8:54
normal day, secretly Glenn was
8:56
determined to carry out another plan
8:59
of his own. A
9:01
plan darker than anyone could have
9:03
imagined. The exact details
9:05
of what happened next can never
9:07
be known for sure, but at
9:10
some point in the night, Glenn
9:12
approached Paul's Malibu and entered his
9:14
vehicle. Paul, while seated
9:16
in his own driver's seat,
9:18
was then viciously attacked and
9:20
stabbed repeatedly by Glenn. Paul
9:23
struggled violently with Glenn inside
9:25
the car for as long
9:27
as he could, but eventually
9:29
Glenn overpowered him, stabbed
9:31
him in his chest, neck
9:33
and thigh before finally slashing
9:36
his throat. Glenn then
9:38
put Paul's body into the back seat,
9:40
started the Malibu's engine, and drove
9:43
approximately 40 miles to a remote
9:45
forested area near the town of
9:47
Milcove. There, Glenn removed
9:49
Paul's body from the car and disposed
9:52
it along a little-used path in the
9:54
woods. Then Glenn
9:56
drove Paul's car back to Halifax.
10:00
The plan was far from over. Nothing
10:06
in Glenn's early life had even
10:08
remotely suggested he was heading down
10:10
a dark path. He
10:12
spent his childhood in Mount Yaniac,
10:14
a small community in Nova Scotia,
10:17
in a family home with a
10:19
classic treehouse and tire swing set
10:21
up. And for a
10:23
while, the races seemed to be living
10:25
the nuclear family dream. Glenn's
10:28
father Mark was a supervisor at a
10:30
power plant. His mother Donna worked as
10:32
a cashier. Glenn was
10:34
close with his younger brother Doug and
10:36
the siblings worked paper as for pocket
10:38
money. Before Glenn turned
10:41
10, the family moved to Dartmouth,
10:43
a city across the harbor from
10:45
Halifax where Glenn spent his teenage
10:47
years. In high school,
10:49
he was both athletic and academic,
10:51
excelling on the football field as
10:54
well as mathematics. In
10:57
1999, Glenn put his academics to
10:59
good use and enrolled at Dalhousie
11:01
University in Halifax to
11:03
study mechanical engineering. His
11:06
first year went off without a
11:08
hitch, but things began to deteriorate
11:10
during his second year when he
11:13
became depressed, started skipping school, and
11:15
only managed to complete a few
11:17
classes. It was around
11:19
that time Glenn began feeling a
11:22
growing sense of general paranoia, something
11:24
he chalked up to marijuana use. In
11:27
fact, it was a warning
11:29
sign of incipient mental illness.
11:32
By year three, Glenn was done
11:34
with school and completely dropped out
11:37
just a few weeks into the
11:39
semester, returning home to live with
11:41
his parents. From
11:43
there, things only went downhill. Your
11:54
hair is never just your hair,
11:56
it's built into your identity, your
11:59
confidence, your brain space. It's been
12:01
with you through thick and thin. And
12:03
the reason it may be thinning, it's not
12:06
just your hair either. It could be
12:08
something with your job, or your stomach,
12:10
or your antiperspirant, or your hormones. It
12:12
could be almost anything that has almost
12:15
nothing to do with it. And I
12:17
got a pretty good idea why my
12:19
hair started thinning. Working two full-time jobs
12:21
for six and a half years, long
12:23
commutes and late nights, eating
12:25
lousy because I was too busy, and
12:28
even skipping meals because I was just
12:30
working too much. And I'm
12:32
sure parenting five kids probably had
12:34
something to do with it. I've tried other
12:36
products and just didn't get the results I
12:38
was looking for, until I found Nutrafol. Nutrafol

MADNESS. Glenn
13:55
stopped eating almost entirely,
13:57
isolating himself in the basement. cutting
14:00
himself off from the outside world. No
14:03
phone, no TV, no radio,
14:05
not even lights. At
14:08
first, Glenn's parents didn't know what to make
14:10
of it. Glenn told
14:12
them it was his way
14:14
of cleansing himself. After
14:17
just two months of living at home,
14:19
Glenn had lost nearly 40 pounds and
14:22
it was only getting worse, both
14:24
physically and mentally. His
14:27
parents knew this was more than just
14:29
a weird face and took him to
14:31
a doctor. Glenn was
14:33
urgently referred for psychiatric assessment.
14:37
Upon examination, Glenn's thoughts were
14:39
determined to be disordered and
14:41
diluted, earning him a diagnosis
14:44
of major depression with psychiatric
14:46
features and prescription meds to
14:48
match. Everyone could
14:50
see Glenn was ill. Everyone,
14:53
that is, but Glenn. He
14:55
staunchly refused to take any
14:57
of his medications and continued
15:00
to deteriorate in front of
15:02
everyone's eyes. Worried about
15:04
his safety, Glenn's parents made the
15:06
heart-wrenching decision to call
15:09
police. And in November 2001, at
15:12
the age of 20, Glenn Race
15:15
was involuntarily committed for the
15:17
first time. At
15:19
Nova Scotia Hospital, doctors observed
15:21
Glenn and discovered a key
15:23
symptom to his condition. He
15:26
exhibited poverty of speech as
15:28
well as flat effect, meaning
15:30
he expressed little to no
15:32
emotion in his words and
15:35
facial expressions. It
15:37
was the first major step en
15:39
route to an eventual diagnosis of
15:41
schizophrenia. Glenn's parents had
15:44
a hard time accepting the diagnosis,
15:46
as would any parent, but
15:48
Glenn didn't believe a word of it.
15:51
According to the doctors, Glenn continued
15:53
to have no insight into his
15:56
illness or the need for treatment.
15:59
In short, Glenn was a Glen was so ill,
16:01
he didn't even know he was ill.
16:06
Since Glen had no insight into his
16:09
condition, he saw no reason to stay
16:11
in the hospital, and so,
16:13
three days after he was admitted, he
16:15
bailed and went back home. The
16:18
first time, his parents were able
16:20
to convince him to go back,
16:22
but the very next day, he
16:24
left again. And this time, no one
16:26
knew where he'd gone. After
16:28
a harrowing week for his family,
16:31
police finally located Glen, sleeping in
16:33
a dumpster. He
16:35
was filthy, hostile towards hospital
16:37
staff, and muttering to himself
16:40
or the walls. Doctors
16:42
saw little choice but to
16:44
administer drugs intravenously, against as
16:47
well. But the drugs
16:49
had a positive effect, and two months
16:51
after he returned to the hospital, he
16:53
was stable enough during the privilege
16:55
of walking the grounds. However,
16:58
Glen immediately escaped and ran
17:00
away back home. Without
17:02
the doctor's oversight, and without
17:05
taking his medication, Glen predictably
17:07
got worse. He
17:09
continued to isolate himself and ignored
17:11
his physical hygiene. To the point,
17:13
he went over a year without
17:16
brushing his teeth or taking a
17:18
shower. During this time,
17:20
Glen developed an obsession with
17:22
spiritual matters and began believing
17:24
he was suffering psychotic attacks
17:26
from the astral plane and
17:29
felt telepathic signals drifting into
17:31
his mind. The intense
17:33
feelings Glen was experiencing caused him
17:35
to develop a real-life belief in
17:38
vampires and demons. As
17:40
a precaution, he began chewing
17:42
garlic. He also believed
17:45
that holding his breath for extended
17:47
periods of time would prevent further
17:49
attacks, and from
17:51
there his pseudo-religious obsession
17:53
continued to grow deeper.
17:56
It's difficult to imagine the pain
17:59
and suffering Glen's parents experienced
18:01
watching their son struggling with
18:03
his illness. At
18:05
times, he was even prone to
18:07
violent outbursts, lashing out at
18:10
his family, smashing the walls, the
18:12
stereo and his dad's computer. At
18:15
night, he slept with a knife. The
18:18
years that followed were tense and
18:21
unpredictable. Eventually, the family
18:23
moved out of the city of
18:25
Windsor, Nova Scotia, hoping the yellow
18:27
bungalow beside an apple orchard would
18:29
have a calming influence on their
18:31
ailing son. But
18:37
just four months later, he set
18:39
himself on fire. Glen
18:41
insisted it had been an accident,
18:44
but his parents suspected otherwise. For
18:47
the next two years, Glen
18:49
wrote a seesaw of psychotic
18:51
episodes, commitments, hospital escapes, recoveries
18:54
and remissions. Adjustments
18:57
to his medication produced small
18:59
but encouraging signs. Enough
19:02
that by the spring of 2007, he
19:05
was out of the hospital and looking to live
19:07
on his own. But
19:09
no matter how much anyone tried,
19:11
it remained wholly impossible for Glen
19:13
to comprehend his own mental illness.
19:17
After his final release from a
19:19
psychiatric hospital, Glen again went off
19:21
his meds. No one
19:23
knows for sure when the idea came to
19:25
him or for how long he'd held it.
19:28
But in the lead up to May
19:30
1st, 2007, when Glen moved out on
19:32
his own, he'd become
19:35
preoccupied with the idea that
19:37
the world was polluted and
19:39
overpopulated. Years later,
19:41
Glen would claim that he believed
19:44
humanity needed to be called in
19:46
order to prevent a future apocalypse.
19:49
And if no one else was willing to
19:51
do what was necessary, he decided he'd be
19:53
the one to do it. And
19:56
at the very first opportunity to put
19:58
his delusions into action, He
20:00
did, murdering Paul Knott
20:02
at Citadel Hill. The
20:09
morning after the murder, May 2nd,
20:13
2007, Paul's daughter Jennifer woke
20:15
up afraid. Not
20:17
only had her father not come home that
20:19
night, he wasn't there in the morning either.
20:22
It wasn't entirely uncommon for Paul to
20:24
already be out of the house by the
20:26
time Jennifer woke up, but he always
20:28
called to make sure she was up and
20:31
ready for school. That
20:33
morning, there was no call
20:35
and the silence was deafening.
20:38
Throughout the day, Jennifer attempted
20:40
contacting her father, calling and
20:42
sending him messages, but
20:45
after an entire day with no
20:47
response, Jennifer decided to call police
20:49
and report her father missing. The
20:56
entire time Jennifer was attempting to
20:59
get in touch with her father,
21:01
Glenn was driving Paul's Malibu all
21:03
over town, driving it to several
21:05
stores and gas stations, attempting
21:07
to use their ATMs. Finally,
21:10
he decided to ditch the car
21:12
before police started looking for it.
21:15
So he drove out to a lonely,
21:18
weed choked road behind the airport and
21:20
found a rutted dirt track branching off
21:22
until the car got bogged down in
21:25
the mud. On the
21:27
car's hood, Glenn scratched a message into
21:29
the paint, waiting for Fred's tow truck
21:31
thanks. Then Glenn locked
21:33
the doors, popped the trunk and
21:36
pulled his own 18-speed bicycle out
21:38
before pedaling away from the abandoned
21:40
car. It was an
21:42
extremely complex job for someone who
21:44
had trouble with disordered thinking, things
21:48
that indicate a high level of
21:50
planning and forethought. For
21:52
someone whose motivations may have been
21:54
the result of genuine psychosis, he
21:56
was quite thorough in his efforts
21:58
to cover his tracks. On
22:03
the morning of May 3rd, Glenn's father
22:06
received a phone call. He must have
22:08
been half expecting ever since Glenn moved
22:10
out. It had been barely 48
22:13
hours since he moved, but now
22:15
Glenn was calling from a gas
22:17
station asking for help. He
22:19
needed to ride home. His
22:21
bicycle was broken. Mark
22:23
Ray drove out and picked up his son
22:26
and took him back to his parents' home.
22:29
At the house, Glenn sat out on
22:31
the patio arguing with someone that no
22:33
one else could see. Everyone
22:35
thought it was best if Glenn stayed at
22:38
his parents' home for a few more nights.
22:43
Two days later, Paul Knott's body
22:45
was discovered by an ATV rider
22:47
exploring the dirt roads around Milk
22:50
Cove. Police arrived
22:52
and launched an investigation.
22:54
Paul's sweater was pulled over his
22:56
face. His belt was open, and he
22:58
was missing a shoe. The next
23:01
day, two more ATVers were riding
23:03
the back roads near the airport
23:05
when an abandoned car blocked their
23:08
path. It had no plates
23:10
or identifying marks, and there was a
23:12
tarp covering the back seat. Strangest
23:15
of all, someone had scratched
23:17
a note right into the paint on the
23:19
hood. Who would deface a
23:21
car like that when they could have just
23:23
left a note on the dash? They
23:26
got their answer the following day when
23:28
they heard a radio report about Paul's
23:30
murder. When they heard
23:32
that police were on the lookout
23:34
for Paul's car, a blue Chevy
23:36
Malibu, they immediately reported to police
23:38
what they found. But
23:40
it wasn't soon enough to save
23:43
Glenn's next victim. The
23:48
very same day police found Paul's
23:50
car, May 7th, 45-year-old Trevor Brewster
23:53
was just getting back to work
23:55
after a week-long vacation to the
23:57
Dominican Republic. Trevor had spent the last
23:59
day in the last 24 years as an employee
24:01
at the Steak and Steen restaurant in
24:04
Halifax. And that particular day was an
24:06
exciting one. Because it was finally the
24:08
day Trevor was going to be trained
24:11
as a manager. Things were
24:13
looking up for Trevor. He loved
24:15
to travel and excitedly chatted about his
24:17
recent trip with his co workers. One
24:20
of his friends and co workers had recently
24:23
got a new dog and Trevor who was
24:25
an animal lover made plans to come over
24:27
and meet the new pooch after a shift
24:29
ended. But he never made it to
24:31
the meet up. Trevor shift
24:33
ended around 11 o'clock that night.
24:36
But before he went to hang out with
24:38
his friend, he decided to make a stop
24:40
at a place called Frenchman Lake for a
24:42
bit of fun. Like Citadel
24:45
Hill. This was also a known cruising
24:47
spot for men and the
24:49
place Trevor liked to visit on
24:51
occasion. There was no way he
24:53
could have known this was the
24:55
exact spot Glenn race had chosen
24:57
to continue his delusional crusade. He
24:59
started six days earlier. Somewhere
25:02
along the pathways at the lake, Glenn
25:04
struck Trevor in the head with a
25:07
metal bar and slashed his
25:10
throat. After committing his second
25:12
murder in less than a week,
25:14
he dragged Trevor's body and headed
25:16
beneath a wharf on the lake. He
25:19
then stole Trevor's keys and drove away
25:21
in his black on the civic. If
25:31
you're like us and you have pets, then
25:33
I'm sure you've been known to splurge on
25:35
them every once in a while buying them
25:37
ridiculous outfits for Thanksgiving and Christmas a day
25:40
at the spa. Maybe you even have a
25:42
treat launcher that you can operate from an
25:44
app on your phone when you're away. Now
25:46
when it comes to our pets, those are
25:49
the fun expenses. But let's
25:51
talk about the not so fun
25:53
expenses. The scary ones. Like
25:55
when your pet is involved in an
25:57
accident or develops an unexpected illness. Not
26:00
only can these times be overwhelmingly
26:02
emotional, but there's also the added
26:04
stress of trying to figure out
26:06
how to manage the hefty vet
26:08
bill you weren't planning on. In
26:11
times of pet emergencies, you should
26:13
only have one thing to worry
26:15
about, getting your pet the best
26:17
possible care. The ASPCA
26:19
Pet Health Insurance Program offers customizable
26:22
accident and illness plans, making it
26:24
easier for pet parents like you
26:26
to help your pet get the
26:28
care they may need. The
26:30
ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program has
26:33
been around for 18 years
26:35
and has helped more than 600,000 pets during
26:37
that time. They
26:40
allow you to customize your plan, helping
26:42
ensure that your pet's plan is
26:44
as unique as they are, because
26:46
vet bills can really add up,
26:49
especially when you're least expecting it.
26:52
For example, use their app to submit
26:54
a claim, and you'll receive reimbursement for
26:56
eligible vet bills directly into your bank
26:59
account. To

27:40
1.30 in the morning, a black Honda
27:42
Civic with a rainbow striped teddy bear
27:44
above the tail light tore through an
27:46
intersection in full view of a police
27:49
cruiser. The cop flipped
27:51
the sirens and tried to pull it
27:53
over for erratic driving. Instead,
27:55
Glenn hit the gas, rather
27:58
than endanger anyone with a high-speed chase,
28:00
the officer ran the plates and
28:03
decided to intercept the perpetrator at
28:05
their home address. But
28:07
of course, the plates belonged to
28:09
Trevor Brewster. So when
28:11
police arrived at his home, they found
28:13
neither him nor the car that had
28:15
sped through the intersection. From
28:18
Glenn's perspective, sitting behind
28:20
the wheel of a car he'd just
28:22
stolen and from a man he'd just
28:25
murdered, when he saw that the police
28:27
had stopped pursuing him, he couldn't believe
28:29
his good fortune. He took
28:32
it as a sign God approved of what he was
28:34
doing. How else could
28:36
anyone explain such a miracle? That
28:39
night, Glenn drove Trevor's car to
28:41
the neighboring province of New Brunswick
28:43
and eventually all the way to
28:46
Havilloc, Quebec, where he decided to
28:48
ditch the stolen vehicle along a
28:50
remote logging road on private property.
28:53
It wouldn't be discovered for another
28:55
four months. But the place
28:57
Glenn ditched the car was no
29:00
accident. It was only
29:02
about a mile north of the
29:04
US-Canada border. Next, he pulled out
29:06
a compass and map before disappearing into
29:09
the woods on foot, emerging
29:11
a short while later on US
29:13
soil south of the border near
29:15
the town of Moores, New York. Two
29:20
days after Glenn had murdered Trevor
29:22
Brewster, his coworkers became alarmed when
29:24
he didn't show up for work.
29:27
Not exactly the kind of behavior
29:29
they expected from a lifelong employee
29:31
who'd recently been promoted, but
29:34
just hours after police had received
29:36
the missing person's report, Trevor's body
29:38
had been discovered by a man
29:41
collecting bottles along the shores of
29:43
Frenchman Lake. Two
29:45
vicious murders and less than a
29:47
week. A sense of
29:49
alarm rose through the ranks of
29:51
Halifax police when they learned that
29:53
both Paul Knott and Trevor Brewster
29:56
had both been murdered in a
29:58
similar manner under similar circumstances. Police
30:01
then issued a public advisory to
30:03
the gate community in Halifax, warning
30:06
them about potential safety concerns
30:08
in cruising areas, but
30:11
they stopped short of speculating a
30:13
serial killer might be on the
30:15
loose. While
30:19
the community in Halifax was receiving the
30:21
disturbing news about a killer in their
30:24
house, Glen was already over the border,
30:26
walking through the woods of northern New
30:29
York State. Eventually, Glen
30:31
stumbled across a hunting lodge where
30:33
he let himself in through an
30:35
unlocked window. Not long
30:37
after he'd gone in, an F-250
30:39
pickup pulled up outside. The
30:42
truck was driven by 35-year-old Darcy
30:44
Manor, a local handyman, school bus
30:46
driver, and father of two. Darcy
30:49
was the lodge's caretaker and had come up
30:52
for the day to help prepare the lodge
30:54
for the upcoming summer season. First
30:57
on his to-do list was getting the exterior
30:59
water pump running. As he
31:01
got to work, he didn't notice the
31:03
eyes staring at him through the kitchen
31:05
window. Inside the
31:07
lodge, Glen spotted a hunting rifle. In
31:11
his deluded mind, Glen decided
31:13
that the gun and Darcy's
31:15
arrival was no mere coincidence.
31:18
Instead, he took it as a
31:20
sign from above that his mission
31:22
wasn't over. Glen watched
31:24
through the kitchen window as Darcy worked
31:26
on the water pump. Then
31:29
he raced the rifle and fired, fatally
31:32
shooting Darcy in the back. Using
31:35
an ATV on the property, Glen drank
31:37
Darcy's body back into the woods before
31:39
stealing the F-250 and driving off. It
31:44
wasn't until after midnight when
31:46
Darcy's friends, concerned he'd never
31:48
come home, took the lock
31:51
in the front gate and searched the property.
31:53
They found Darcy's body down on
31:56
the lodge's side trails and reported
31:58
it to state troopers. Glen
32:02
was turning out to be a talented
32:05
fugitive. Twenty-four hours after the
32:07
murder, he crossed six state lines and
32:09
made it 1,000 miles south. In
32:13
Georgia, he stopped and stole South
32:15
Dakota plates from a parked vehicle
32:17
and swapped them for Darcy's. He
32:20
pulled the same trick again in Louisiana
32:22
and again in Texas. On
32:25
May 15th, two weeks after he killed
32:27
Paul, Glen made it to Los Indios,
32:30
Texas on the banks of the Rio
32:32
Grande. He'd already traveled 3,000
32:35
miles and illegally crossed one
32:37
international border. Now, all
32:40
he had to do was cross one
32:42
more. From Los
32:44
Indios, Glen set out on foot
32:46
toward the U.S.-Mexico border, carrying a
32:48
40-pound duffel bag, keeping well clear
32:50
of any official port of entry.
32:53
All that lay between him and Mexico
32:55
was the Rio Grande. In
32:58
his duffel bag, Glen carried a pack
33:00
of balloons he intended on using to
33:02
help float him and his belongings across
33:04
the river into Mexico, once
33:06
again proving that underneath all
33:09
the delusions was a calculated
33:11
and meticulous fugitive who'd successfully
33:13
covered his tracks halfway across
33:16
North America. What
33:18
Glen didn't realize as he walked
33:20
toward the Rio Grande was that
33:22
he'd tripped a motion sensor monitored
33:25
by the U.S. border security. He
33:27
was only a quarter mile north of
33:30
the river when border agent Ramon Vargas
33:32
Jr. pulled up and asked
33:34
him what he was doing. Glen
33:36
said he was just out walking
33:38
in the same mouth-mannered voice he'd
33:40
always used. Ramona for
33:43
ID and Glen handed over
33:45
his Canadian driver's license. Ramon
33:48
inspected it, then asked to see a
33:50
passport as well. Glen
33:52
dropped his duffel bag and opened it
33:54
as if to comply, but there was
33:56
no passport in the bag. Ramon
33:59
caught a close eye. glimpse of a
34:01
rifle stock just as Glenn was reaching
34:03
inside. Ramon barked
34:05
in order for Glenn to put his
34:07
hands on the vehicle, but Glenn lunged
34:09
at Ramon's pistol instead. Although
34:12
he managed to get a grip on it,
34:14
Ramon held on and fought him with his
34:16
free hand. Glenn then
34:19
gnashed his teeth, biting Ramon on the
34:21
thumb and face as the two men
34:23
fought for control. Finally,
34:25
Ramon wrestled the weapon away and
34:27
ordered Glenn to get face down
34:29
on the ground. When
34:33
Bagup arrived and inspected Glenn's bag,
34:36
they found evidence that laid out
34:38
almost the entire case. The
34:41
rifle that had killed Darcy
34:43
Manor, Trevor Brewster's driver's license,
34:45
and both men's credit cards,
34:47
along with bullets, knives, camouflage
34:49
and a bella clava. The
34:52
suspect's motive, however, was anything
34:54
but clear. Tearing
34:57
his arrest, Glenn got rigid and
34:59
refused to open his eyes, ignoring
35:01
everything that was said to him.
35:04
He would only repeat the words, walking
35:07
in circles. Once
35:09
in jail, guards looked into Glenn's cell
35:11
to see him wildly fending off attacks,
35:13
but there was no one else in
35:15
the cell with him. But
35:18
Glenn's arrest was far from the end
35:20
of the story. A
35:22
complicated and bizarre international legal
35:25
saga was about to take
35:27
place. Wanted for
35:29
crimes in two different countries, it
35:32
was the Americans who would first put
35:34
Glenn on trial. A
35:39
year later, in September 2008, Glenn
35:42
Race and his family were seated in
35:44
a courthouse in Plattsburgh, New York, less
35:46
than an hour from where Darcy Manor
35:48
had been murdered. This
35:50
court-appointed lawyer opted for a bench
35:53
trial, meaning there'd be no jury.
35:56
Glenn entered a plea of not guilty
35:58
by reason of insanity. And
36:00
a psychiatrist for the defense
36:02
corroborated his claims, stating
36:04
that Glenn had genuinely believed at
36:07
the time of the murder he
36:09
was a demon slayer cleansing the
36:11
world. While awaiting
36:13
trial, Glenn attempted suicide by
36:15
chewing open a vein on
36:18
his wrist, assuming his
36:20
spirit would float to freedom
36:22
and rematerialize outside.
36:25
Once the trial began, the prosecution
36:28
threw the courtroom a curveball when
36:30
they entered some new evidence to
36:32
cast doubt on Glenn's claims of
36:35
insanity. 27
36:37
CDs worth of recorded jailhouse phone
36:39
calls between Glenn and his family.
36:42
The prosecution's expert psychiatric witness
36:44
had listened to these calls
36:46
and decided that Glenn was
36:48
faking his mental illness. It
36:51
was shocking evidence to introduce so
36:53
late in the game, but
36:56
for some reason Glenn's court-appointed
36:58
attorney dragged his feet reviewing
37:00
the calls. He
37:02
didn't even provide them to his
37:05
own expert witnesses until it was
37:07
far too late. Because
37:09
of this, Glenn attempted to fire
37:12
his lawyer and represent himself, but
37:15
the judge denied his request. His
37:17
lawyer then attempted to file for continuance
37:20
to give himself and his experts more
37:22
time to review the materials, but
37:25
the judge also denied that request,
37:27
feeling he'd already been provided adequate
37:30
time. Scrambling to
37:32
adapt, Glenn's lawyer made a
37:34
surprising move and abandoned the
37:37
insanity defense entirely. Instead
37:39
he argued that circumstantial evidence
37:41
was not enough to prove
37:44
Glenn had even tilled Darcy
37:46
Manor. It was a
37:48
strategy that never had a chance of
37:50
succeeding. The circumstantial
37:52
evidence against Glenn was completely
37:54
overwhelming and the judge found
37:56
Glenn guilty and handed down
37:58
a life sentence. with
38:00
no chance of parole. In
38:03
the end, Glenn's long history of
38:05
documented mental illness wasn't even a
38:07
factor in his first murder trial.

39:14
being found guilty for the murder of
39:16
Darcy Manor, Glenn was extradited to Canada
39:18
to stand trial for the murders of
39:20
Paul Knott and Trevor Brewster. But
39:23
what played out in the Canadian courts was
39:25
a complete 180 from what
39:27
happened in New York. Between
39:29
the prosecution and the defense,
39:31
four different psychiatrists were called
39:33
in to independently examine Glenn,
39:35
and all four of them
39:38
reached the exact same conclusion.
39:40
Glenn Race wasn't able to
39:42
understand his actions as morally
39:45
wrong. Well, I believe that
39:47
both the Crown and the defense are fully
39:49
aware of what the expert opinions are
39:52
in this particular case. But
39:54
ultimately, it is for Justice Cody
39:56
to make the final determination on
39:58
whether that evidence satisfies. the
40:01
conclusion that Mr. Race should be declared
40:03
not criminally responsible. There won't be disagreement,
40:05
I don't anticipate, on a significant issue
40:08
between the Crown and Defense on the
40:10
opinion evidence that will be called. In
40:13
2014, the Supreme Court of
40:15
Nova Scotia found Glenn Race
40:17
not criminally responsible for the
40:19
murders of Paul Knott and
40:21
Trevor Brewster. If Glenn
40:24
can find his crimes to Canada, he
40:26
would have ended up at a psychiatric facility
40:28
for treatment. However, because
40:30
he'd already been sentenced in the
40:32
US, he was sent back
40:34
across the border as soon as the Canadian
40:37
verdict was in. Glenn
40:42
began serving his sentence at Attica
40:44
Correctional Facility in New York, a
40:46
maximum security prison and an
40:49
infamous one, housing notorious
40:51
criminals such as son of Sam
40:53
serial killer David Berkowitz. In
40:56
the 1970s, it was the site
40:58
of the deadliest prison riot in
41:01
American history. Glenn
41:03
passed his time there, dreaming of
41:05
debt-rich quick inventions like a robotic
41:07
arm, which he hoped
41:09
would finance a home in Nova Scotia
41:12
after his release. His
41:14
family didn't have the heart to tell
41:16
him he'd never see that day. Glenn
41:19
still viewed himself as a spiritual being and
41:22
disagreed with the diagnosis of
41:24
schizophrenia. After Glenn's
41:26
trial in Canada, a Nova Scotia
41:29
judge addressed the difficult subject of
41:32
Glenn's mental illness and stated, It's
41:35
important to realize that Mr. Race,
41:37
his family and friends, are victims
41:39
as well. They are
41:42
victims of the cruel and unforgiving
41:44
illness of schizophrenia. Glenn's
41:46
younger brother agreed and stated,
41:48
My brother did not kill
41:50
these individuals. He was
41:53
the symptoms of his hallucinations and
41:55
his delusions which did that. Glenn's
41:57
family felt he hadn't received any evidence of his crimes.
42:00
received a fair trial arguing
42:02
his legal counsel in the
42:04
US was unprepared and ineffective.
42:06
In fact, two years after
42:09
Glenn's trial, his court-appointed lawyer
42:11
was suspended from practicing law
42:13
and switched professions to become
42:15
a golf course manager. However,
42:18
hopes of a successful appeal faded
42:21
as time wore on, and
42:23
through it all, hearing Glenn described
42:25
as a victim was a hard pill
42:27
to swallow for the friends and family
42:30
of the people he'd murdered.
42:32
Paul Nutt's daughter, Jennifer, has
42:34
taken a less sympathetic view
42:36
and stated, I find
42:38
it troubling that Glenn races in a
42:40
facility where his family has access to
42:43
him, contact with
42:45
him, and visits regularly. In
42:47
what kind of world is that fair, as
42:49
I no longer have the luxury of speaking
42:52
to or seeing my father?
42:55
After Paul's death, Jennifer created a
42:57
Facebook page where she wrote letters
42:59
to her father, sharing news
43:02
from her everyday life. Maybe
43:07
the only thing we can be really
43:09
sure of is that Glenn Race's case
43:11
was one of the strangest and most
43:13
divisive we've ever heard. Keeping
43:16
a clinical perspective in mind while
43:18
respecting the suffering of the victims,
43:21
all while following Glenn's
43:23
white-knuckle journey, was incredibly
43:25
difficult. That's why we
43:27
reached out for an expert perspective. Dr.
43:30
Amite is a registered
43:32
psychologist who specializes in
43:34
abnormal psychology and human
43:36
sexuality. He's taught
43:38
at five different universities over the
43:41
past 20 years in various areas
43:43
of psychology. And although
43:45
he's never met or treated Glenn Race, after
43:48
reviewing this case, Dr. Amite
43:50
was struck by the contrasts
43:52
in Glenn's profile. In
43:55
his professional opinion, however, the evidence
43:57
points to a mental health tragedy.
44:00
rather than criminal intent. I
44:02
can understand why many people believe that Glenn
44:05
Race deserves to be held accountable for at
44:07
least one, if not all three of the
44:09
horrific murders he committed. I
44:11
can also understand why people would ask, how
44:13
can he claim to be not criminally responsible?
44:16
I get all that. But the fact is,
44:18
when it comes to the human condition, when
44:20
it comes to the human mind, we know
44:22
a lot. But there's so much that we
44:24
don't know, especially when it comes to phenomena
44:26
like psychosis. So it is
44:28
possible at the time that Mr. Race
44:30
murdered those three individuals, he may have
44:33
looked relatively normal. But
44:35
what was going on in his mind
44:37
was completely abnormal. And
44:39
I have seen no evidence to suggest
44:41
that he's lying about his condition. And
44:43
more importantly, multiple witnesses over the years
44:45
have stated that he has demonstrated behaviors
44:48
or beliefs that would strongly
44:50
indicate psychotic episodes and apparently
44:52
schizophrenia. So again, I can
44:54
understand why some people have
44:57
a really hard time reconciling
44:59
these attempts to evade justice
45:01
with a claim that I didn't know
45:03
what I was doing. And
45:06
that is why it is so important
45:08
to do a thorough, comprehensive assessment of
45:10
the situation and of the individual to
45:12
determine whether the person's claim that they
45:14
were not in control of their mind
45:17
at the time of the crime is
45:19
credible, especially when afterward they act
45:21
in the way that Mr. Race
45:24
did. To Dr.
45:26
Amaté, the ambiguity emphasized the
45:29
need for rigorous psychological assessment.
45:32
Maybe the only thing that could ever
45:34
bridge the gap between cleansed illusions and
45:37
his high functioning behavior. So
45:40
a mental health expert investigating a case such
45:42
as this would be looking at the person's
45:44
history. They would do
45:46
a full psychological and personality and
45:48
psychiatric investigation, might test their intelligence,
45:51
their cognitive functioning. They should be
45:53
as thorough as possible. They should
45:55
interview the client as many times
45:58
as possible. to
46:00
interview collateral sources as well to
46:02
see whether there is a history
46:04
of bizarre or psychotic type behaviours and
46:06
beliefs as was the case with Mr.
46:09
Race. In short, the
46:11
job is to determine whether in the
46:13
absence of witnesses the person could plausibly
46:15
have been in a state of psychosis
46:17
when they committed the crime. From
46:20
what I've read about Mr. Race's case, it
46:22
does seem very plausible that although he was
46:24
afraid of getting caught and although he was
46:26
afraid of being punished for what he did,
46:29
it was not in the way that we
46:31
would typically expect when we're trying to hold
46:33
somebody responsible for their actions. For
46:35
example, he may have believed that if he
46:38
was caught, he would be punished not by
46:40
the criminal system or the justice system but
46:42
rather by demons. It cannot
46:44
be emphasized enough that when someone is
46:46
in the midst of a psychotic episode,
46:48
they are divorced from reality. So
46:51
even if their actions seem rational,
46:53
even if their actions seem self-serving,
46:55
they may not be grounded in
46:58
a reality that we would agree
47:00
warrants they're being held criminally responsible
47:02
for some terrible actions. A
47:05
person's background might help decide how
47:08
credible their defense is but it
47:10
still doesn't explain how they can
47:12
be so capable in the outside
47:14
world while living inside a delusion
47:16
that's all their own. To
47:19
help interpret that, Dr.
47:21
Amate referred to the
47:23
concept of compartmentalization. That's
47:49
it. It's that easy. It's time

48:31
purposefully, intentionally or consciously, it's
48:34
like a superpower. It
48:36
enables you, for example, to be able to enter
48:39
a situation and instead of
48:41
being psychologically, cognitive, emotionally
48:44
or physiologically overwhelmed, you're able
48:46
to go in and keep
48:49
all these other factors at bay. You're
48:51
able to be present, you're able to
48:53
be focused, you're able to deal with
48:55
the issue, but you're keeping these distracting
48:57
factors that I mentioned away from your
48:59
conscious awareness so that you're able to
49:01
attend to the task at hand. And
49:04
this compartmentalization can also come after the
49:06
fact. So a first responder may
49:08
have dealt with a terrible bloody
49:10
scene and when they leave
49:12
the scene, they're able to put it behind
49:15
them. That's all conscious. When
49:18
it is unconscious, it is a huge hindrance.
49:21
One example is what's called intellectualization where
49:23
there is a complete disconnect and it's
49:25
unconscious as outside of the person's control.
49:28
There's a disconnect between their thoughts and their
49:30
feelings. So if something traumatic
49:32
happened to somebody and it happened
49:35
recently and they're recounting it to someone else, they
49:37
may be speaking as if they're reading ingredients from
49:39
a cereal box. There's no emotionality
49:41
to it. Then there's
49:43
another type of compartmentalization, once again,
49:45
unconscious where the person might say
49:47
one sentence, one idea, one thought,
49:50
and then the next sentence completely
49:52
contradicts the first one. So each
49:54
of these different thoughts are
49:56
compartmentalized from each other and you can imagine
49:58
how that would be very debilitating to
50:00
the person if it's outside of their control.
50:03
Compartmentalization is a phenomenon we've
50:06
all probably experienced in our
50:08
everyday lives. Push
50:10
it to the extreme though and we
50:13
can get a little closer to understanding
50:15
Glenn's mindset. So
50:19
if we take this to the next
50:21
step, imagine somebody does something that if
50:23
you were objective, if you were not
50:25
part of the situation, if you were
50:28
watching it, you would say that's terrible
50:30
or that's self-destructive or that's dangerous and
50:33
it's so obvious. Yet the person
50:35
in the midst of doing it
50:37
is somehow compartmentalizing a part
50:39
of their mind. If
50:42
ahead of time you ask them, do you think this makes
50:44
sense? Do you think it's safe? Do
50:46
you think it's in your best interest? The person
50:48
would say, well, no, but in the moment, even
50:51
though everyone else can see
50:53
just how bizarre or self-destructive
50:55
or whatever it may be,
50:57
that person compartmentalizes and
50:59
is able to attempt the task at
51:02
hand without being inhibited or obstructed by
51:04
these other factors that would normally stop
51:06
them. So imagine somebody
51:08
who is psychotic. It should
51:10
be much easier to recognize that even
51:12
though part of their mind is saying
51:14
run, hide,
51:16
cover up, escape and
51:19
even though later on they can reflect
51:21
once they're out of the delusion and
51:23
say, what I did was wrong, the
51:26
fact is in that moment or afterward
51:28
for the period of time that they're
51:30
still in that delusion, they could have
51:33
a number of contradictory or competing thoughts
51:35
that don't make sense in a normal
51:37
situation, but in the midst of a
51:39
delusion, it just
51:42
happens and we have
51:44
to accept if we can show
51:46
that this does seem like a
51:48
plausible and credible explanation that the
51:50
person truly was not in control
51:52
of their mind and actions. world
52:00
might never lessen the suffering of
52:02
the victim. He's simply
52:04
pointing out that a tragedy doesn't
52:07
need to be criminal to be
52:09
heart-breaking. Having said
52:11
all of that, whenever I discuss tragic cases
52:13
like this one, I always acknowledge that if
52:16
I were the loved one of somebody who
52:18
was murdered or violated in some way by
52:20
somebody who was in the midst of a
52:22
psychotic episode, I would have a really hard
52:24
time accepting everything that I've said. I
52:27
would have a hard time believing that they deserve
52:29
to walk free after they've got proper treatment that
52:31
can be shown that they're no longer a danger
52:33
to society. I would want
52:35
vengeance. I understand all of that. That's
52:38
the hat of somebody who unfortunately had to
52:40
see a loved one suffer because
52:42
of some mental illness. But
52:45
as a psychologist, I have to look at the science. I have
52:47
to look at the facts and I have to look at the
52:49
evidence. And if I were
52:51
an expert witness in Mr. Race's case,
52:53
I do believe that based on the
52:55
preponderance of evidence, I would find that
52:57
he was not criminally responsible for all
52:59
the reasons I've mentioned. Glenn's
53:02
actions destroyed lives in a
53:04
single stroke. Yet
53:06
schizophrenia took his life apart
53:09
gradually, one piece at a
53:11
time. Beginning with his
53:13
education and ending with his
53:15
freedom. Follow
