Ronda-   Everyone loves a good monster story... Unless you lived in New Brunswick, Canada in 1989. Allan Legere escaped from jail and went on the lamb, terrorizing the people of New Brunswick for an astounding 7 months! Tune in to find out how Legere became Canadas most notorious criminal and how he earned the title 'Monster of Miramachi'.
