He was the perpetrator of the most ghastly murder in Toronto during the 1960s. At 16, Wayne Ford killed his mother with a baseball bat and then hid her body in Lake Couchiching. It remained there for more than three years while police tried to solve the mystery of Minnie Ford's disappearance and a teenaged Ford went on a reckless crime spree. Fifty years later, journalist Paul Hunter finds Ford - a colourful, outspoken man who became a central figure in the Kingston Penitentiary riot living in a mobile home park in British Columbia. Out of prison for almost 38 years, Ford shows there is life after a life sentence.
