Larry Fisher: The Real Killer
Larry Fisher lived in the neighbourhood where Gail Miller was raped and murdered, but at the time he was not seriously considered as a suspect.
Fisher was arrested, July 25, 1997 in Calgary. He was convicted November 22, 1999, and sentenced to life in prison on January 4, 2000. Due to applicable laws at the time of the crime, however, he will be eligible to apply for parole in 10 years, rather than the current 25, after the sentence. Prior to this conviction, Fisher had served 23 years for numerous rapes in the cities of Winnipeg (Manitoba), Saskatoon and North Battleford (Saskatchewan).
