On his own he struggled with drug use, often using sex work as a means of paying for drugs. But when a John shows him photographs of underage children, he turns to murder. Even after prosecution he continues killing, sex offenders are his only target. Three additional deaths later and the crown determined him to be too unsafe to be around others. Since then he has been in isolation, for decades underground where he shall remain until he dies.
