In late May, a parole officer issued an arrest warrant for an offender with a violent criminal past who had recently been released from prison in Saskatchewan and who had since disappeared.
More than 100 days later, Myles Sanderson remained unlawfully at large when he was named as a suspect in a stabbing rampage that left 11 people dead -- including his brother, Damien Sanderson, who was also named as a suspect -- and 18 others injured in James Smith Cree Nation and Weldon, Sask.After a four-day manhunt, Sanderson was arrested on a rural stretch of highway and died in custody after RCMP said he went into "medical distress.
While Sanderson's case has put a spotlight on the measure, one expert says it allows offenders time to transition back into society after living in a "tightly controlled prison environment." Sanderson requested that the parole board cancel the suspension, the documents show, saying that he had stayed sober and found work.
The Correctional Service says in cases such as his, prison officials reach out to an offender's contacts to try and locate them, but it's ultimately up to police to bring them in. Blandford, the former police sergeant, said apprehending parole violators usually falls to the bottom of the work pile for police services because officers are too busy responding to other calls.
