41 - Did Vince Li Go Wendigo?


Listen Later

The 2008 killing of Timothy McLean on a Greyhound bus remains one of Canada's most disturbing criminal cases. Vincent Li, suffering from untreated paranoid schizophrenia, beheaded and cannibalized McLean near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. Li believed he was fulfilling a divine command to destroy a "demon."

In 2009, Li was found Not Criminally Responsible on Account of Mental Disorder (NCRMD). The court ruled that his delusions rendered him incapable of understanding that his actions were wrong. He was remanded to a psychiatric facility, where he responded exceptionally well to medication. By 2017, having demonstrated long-term stability and a low risk of recidivism, he received an absolute discharge under the name Will Lee Baker.

Did he go Wendigo though? Well you’ll have to listen to find out.
