Man who murdered Moncton teen in 1987 at large after breaching parole

A man who murdered a Moncton, NB teenager at a convenience store in 1987 is on the loose after breaching his parole.

CTV News confirmed through Correctional Services Canada that 67-year-old Patrice Mailloux has been "unlawfully at large" since Thursday.

Mailloux shot and killed Laura Ann Davis, 16, while she was closing her family convenience store in 1987.

Mailloux was convicted and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 20 years. He was granted day parole in Quebec in 2016.

The victim's sister, Brenda Davis, says she received a call from Correctional Services Canada last week while she was on vacation.

“I was mad. I was really mad when I found out and then I was just upset,” she told CTV News. “I just sat in my trailer and cried. It’s scary. I don’t think I have any reason to be scared, and I’m not 12 anymore, but I’m scared of him.”

All she can do now is wait for an update on where Mailloux is. No additional information has been given by Correctional Services Canada, citing the privacy act.

CSC said that offenders on parole or statutory release are subject to "supervision requirements" and will be returned to custody "if they are believed to present a risk to the public," reports CTV News.

Warrants can be issued to suspend conditional release agreements if criteria are breached, or due to reasons of public safety.

"If an offender's risk is no longer manageable while supervised in the community, their release can either be revoked or suspended by the Parole Board of Canada (PBC), at which time they will be placed back into a CSC institution or given additional methods of risk management that will allow them to stay in the community," stated CSC in the email to CTV.

"In the case where an offender's release is suspended, a warrant for the offender's arrest is created and shared with our police partners, who are responsible for executing the warrant."
