Ep.6: Arson

Ronda-   Everyone loves a good monster story... Unless you lived in New Brunswick, Canada in 1989. Allan Legere escaped from jail and went on the lamb, terrorizing the people of New Brunswick for an astounding 7 months! Tune in to find out how Legere became Canadas most notorious criminal and how he earned the title 'Monster of Miramachi'. 

Pam-  You think you're busy? Try being responsible for upwards of 350 fires... that is about 1.5 fires a month for 20 years! That's what Thomas Sweatt was up to until he got caught because he literally couldn't keep his pants on... Join me as I tell you about 1 of his many, many fires.
