Cody Legebokoff

Legebokoff was originally imprisoned at the Kent Institution but was transferred in March 2019 to the Warkworth Institution.

In February 2015, Legebokoff filed an appeal due to decisions against change of venue and defendant's legal representation. In September 2016, all three judges in the BC Court of Appeal case endorsed the original judge's decision.

The Legebokoff and Loren Leslie case is covered in the 2015 documentary Highway of Tears. Floridian writer J.T. Hunter profiled Legebokoff in the book The Country Boy Killer: The True Story of Cody Legebokoff, Canada's Teenage Serial Killer, published in 2015.

Cody Alan Legebokoff is a Canadian serial killer convicted in 2014 by the British Columbia Supreme Court of murdering three women and a teenage girl, between 2009 and 2010, in or near the City of Prince George, British Columbia. He is one of Canada's youngest convicted serial killers, and his trial drew national attention. A 15-year-old girl, Loren Donn Leslie, has been included in the list of missing women and girls suspected as victims in the Highway of Tears murders.

Legebokoff was convicted on four counts of first-degree murder on September 11, 2014.

On September 16, 2014, Legebokoff was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 25 years. Additionally, B.C. 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. "He lacks any shred of empathy or remorse," Parrett said of the killer. "He should never be allowed to walk among us again."

Legebokoff's trial on four counts of murder was originally scheduled to begin in September 2013, but was delayed a month until October, and then again until June 2014. Legebokoff pleaded not guilty to all four counts of murder. The judge and 12 jurors heard testimony from 93 Crown witnesses and the defendant.

On November 27, 2010, at approximately 9:45 p.m., rookie Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, Constable Aaron Kehler, observed Legebokoff pull his truck onto British Columbia Highway 27 from a remote logging road. According to a case report written by the officer, the 2004 GMC pick-up truck was speeding erratically and, on a hunch, Kehler decided to pull over the vehicle for a routine traffic stop. He believed that it was odd and even suspicious that someone would be on that road, that late, in frigid November. He suspected the driver of poaching in the backwoods and signaled for him to pull over.

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. He has been described by friends and family members as a popular young man who competed in ice hockey and showed no propensity for violence. Though Legebokoff had a minor criminal record, he was not "on the radar" of local police.
