Stay ConnectedThis podcast was started in January of 2017, about the unsolved murder of my sister, Theresa Allore, who died on November 3, 1978. The project has grown to include unsolved murders of women in Quebec in the 1970s. Now the podcast is simply about justice issues and criminal investigative failures.

On the afternoon of Thursday, July 6, 1978, high schooler Alain Boulanger was riding his motorcycle on the back trails south of Lennoxville when he spotted a man lying on the ground off Astbury road, near route 143, and about 11 kilometers south of Sherbrooke. Alarmed, Boulanger rode home to tell his mother. And this is how you know you've arrived in S-Town; the mother immediately informed her child to go back and check if the man was dead.

On Saturday, June 24 three fisherman hoping to find luck in the shallow waters of Buck Creek instead found the body of 18-year-old Carole Fecteau. Buck Creek is 32 kilometers southeast of Sherbrooke, about 5.5 kilometers from the American border and East Hereford. Fecteau was born in nearby Coaticook. She never went far, ending up dead in a creek 20 kilometers from where she started.

For those of you coming in fresh to this website / podcast this is what we have so far. Twelve chapters, the stories are all interrelated, in some cases the stories are connected. The narrative all focuses on a region in southeastern Quebec known as The Eastern Townships that I call, Quebexico.

On Halloween night 1968, the manager of a King street Kentucky Fried Chicken store was gunned down outside his home in Sherbrooke Quebec. Rolland Giguere's death was the only murder recorded in Sherbrooke in 1968, and the oldest unsolved murder on record in the city.
This is one of those 'Great Mysteries of the Last Century' we were just talking about, another one of Sherbrooke's 'indecipherable enigma''s that when you scratch the service, you find the mystery is quite penetrable, provided you have the will and guts to really take a hard look at what's going on in small town Quebec.

There's a "person of interest" in the Louise Camirand case. He's been there all this time, literally staring me in the face. His name is Raymond Roy. Before we get to Raymond Roy, some background on Camirand's 1977 murder, including updates and clarifications of previously reported information.

"There are good reasons to believe Dube was never sexually assaulted, reasons up until now never revealed. In Wish You Were Here, I wrote that Dube had no broken bones. It turns out that wasn't true. Recently I spoke with a retired officer from the Sherbrooke Police. According to them, "Dube's lower body injuries were consistent with being struck by a vehicle" - meaning her legs were broken. I can understand 40 years ago using this as a holdback, but why today the police wouldn't disclose this information doesn't make any sense. Wouldn't it help to clarify and re-focus the Dube investigation to know this? It still doesn't rule out the intention to sexual assault, but it would help to know that this intention was probably never acted upon."

I would like you to stop thinking of the deaths of Louise Camirand, Manon Dube and Theresa Allore as connected cases. The basis for that argument was something suggested by criminologist, Kim Rossmo when he recommended - based on the geographic proximity of the crimes - that Quebec Police look at the cases together. It was supported by another criminologist who stated that it is "statistically improbable" that a serial killer didn't commit three similar murders in the space of 19 months in the Eastern Townships. These are just theories, an hypothesis...

On Friday, March 15, 1974 two Atomes gang members were shot and killed by Gitans in a four hour battled that started in a tavern parking lot, continued at the local hospital, and ended in the downtown streets of Sherbrooke. Any high schooler can tell you the leader of the Roman Empire was betrayed and assassinated on March 15, the Ides of March in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
The Night of the Long Knives is by far not the only moment of gang conflict in the Eastern Townships region in the 1970s, but it is the most well known event, in Sherbrooke. It's a story that many locals would just as soon forget. But it can't and shouldn't be forgotten because in many ways it speaks to the heart of the character of Sherbrooke.

In 1969 The Dirty Reich motorcycle club of Sherbrooke officially changed their name to The Gitans at a general assembly meeting held that spring. The event was covered in the June 19, 1969 edition of La Tribune as if reporting on a matter of governmental business in Quebec parliament. It would take some time, La Tribune dutifully noted, for members to produce new crests which would cost the club $500 - could their treasury bear the expense! There was a long discussion of simply patching over and joining Le Quebecois MC in neighboring Granby, this would solve the problem, as it was argued of "Dirty Reich" not being French enough -though the name certainly had an old-world European feel to it. In the end a majority vote won the day, and The Gitans were born.

Before they were Hells, even before the Gitans, they were The Dirty Reich. Georges “Bo-Boy” Beaulieu, the de-facto president of The Gitans who rose to prominence in the Hells Angels, was, at first, a member of The Dirty Reich.
The Gitans/Gypsies first formed as the Dirty Reich in the early 1960s. They changed their gang name to Gitans in 1970. They were allowed to patch over to be the Sherbrooke /Lennoxville Hells Angels on December 5, 1984. Then on May 24, 1985 we have the massacre of Laval chapter members at the Lennoxville bunker, and there you have a very brief history of the evolution of The Dirty Reich.
