I don’t know about you, but I find it baffling how easily Montreal criminals have been escaping institutions lately. You might remember last month when murderer Jean-Pierre Duclos managed to escape while he was escorted to a hospital to treat an unspecified medical condition (he’s still on the loose btw), which was disconcerting to say the least.
Now if you see this scary looking dude riding a bike around Montreal today, I’d advise you to stay the fuck away. His name is Roger Lee Desmarais and he gleefully fled a psychiatric institute yesterday afternoon on a blue-and-white bike. Desmarais was arrested in 2001 after assaulting three women between the age of 18 and 24-years-old. According to police, Roger would follow his victims on the street before attacking them in different locations.
Even though I’m known as one to like creepy guys (who doesn’t enjoy a kidnapping serial killer sex fantasy now and then?), this guy is just plain scary. I don’t know if it has to do with looking like a depraved pitbull-human hybrid or the fact that he’s been institutionalized at the Pinel Institute – where the criminally insane are sent – since 2011. But it’s probably a mixture of both. Rapists are terrifying to begin with, now imagine one that has been deemed too crazy for prison by a court of law tooling around town on a bicycle free as a rape-loving bird. I say we keep an eye out for this one. Roger is 6-foot-1, 180 lbs, has blue eyes and short brown hair. He was wearing an Adidas track suit. If you run into him on the bike path in the plateau or downtown area, why don’t you give a call to Info-Crime at 514 393-1133, or you can also just dial 911.
