La Traque

La traque ventures behind the scenes of a fascinating criminal investigation that led to the arrest of an extremely dangerous suspect. Through the keen eye of journalist Patrick Lagacé, involved in the case for over a decade and an astute observer of police work, the series reveals several aspects of the story that had, until now, remained shrouded in mystery.

Spring 2006. A climate of terror reigns on Montréal’s West Island. For weeks, a man has been breaking into homes at nightfall and threatening residents at gunpoint. He confines his victims, steals from them, then disappears into the night. From 2006 to 2009, the perpetrator invades 13 homes, commits a murder, makes three murder attempts, takes a hostage, and leaves dozens of families traumatized.
