A story of crime, punishment and criminal neglect. In May 1999, Ty Conn, a convicted bank robber, broke out of Kingston Penitentiary. When a full-scale police investigation led to his discovery in a Toronto apartment, a desperate Conn, facing the balance of a forty-seven-year prison sentence, shot himself fatally in the chest. Who killed Ty Conn follows the story of Conn's tragic life, which took him from a childhood of abuse to a life of crime, finally leading to his death at thirty-two. Journalists Linden MacIntyre and Theresa Burke - who first met Conn when they prepared an investigative story about the effects of child abuse for CBC's the fifth estate - have written a powerful and unflinching look at a man driven by compulsion, a man trying to come to terms with a life of rejection and the system that failed him.
