Cody Legebokoff is a Canadian citizen who was born on 21 January 1990 and raised in Fort St. James, a district municipality in rural British Columbia.
[4] After graduating Fort St. James Secondary School, Legebokoff lived briefly in Lethbridge, Alberta, before moving to Prince George, British Columbia.
"[5] On November 27, 2010, at approximately 9:45 p.m., rookie Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer, Constable Aaron Kehler, observed Legebokoff pull his truck onto British Columbia Highway 27 from a remote logging road.
[6] According to a case report written by Kehler, Legebokoff's 2004 GMC pick-up truck was speeding erratically and, on a hunch, the officer decided to pull over the vehicle for a routine traffic stop.
Both officers said that upon searching Legebokoff's pickup truck, they discovered a multi-tool and wrench covered in blood, as well as a monkey backpack and a wallet containing a children's hospital card bearing the name Loren Leslie.
The warden traced the tire tracks of Legebokoff's vehicle up the road and in the freshly fallen snow, found footprints leading to the remains of Loren Dawn Leslie.
Additionally, British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Glen Parrett added him to the national sex offender registry, given the sexual assaults committed as part of the murders and Legebokoff's apparent degradation of the victims' bodies.
Cody Legebokoff is one of the convicted murderers discussed on the CBS News show, "48 Hours" season 26, episode 7: Highway of Tears.
