Mason Jenkins, 49, did not show up for an 11:15 a.m. count at his minimum-security unit at Collins Bay Institution on Thursday (September 24). He has been serving a life sentence for first-degree murder and possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, and a warrant for his arrest has been issued. Correctional Service Canada says he was convicted in the 1998 murder of his sister in Chatham, and Chatham-Kent police have taken precautionary measures given his connections to that area. The most recent reports I found, from yesterday, still describe an active search, with no word yet of an arrest.

PLEASE CONTACT POLICE IF YOU SEE HIM: Police describe him as 5'9", about 255 pounds, with a fair complexion, brown eyes and a shaved head, last seen in jeans, a light green jacket and rubber boots. Anyone who sees him should not approach and should call 911 immediately. Tips can also go to Kingston Police at 613-549-4660, ext. 0

Life With Murder follows his family after the killing. In 1998 Jennifer Jenkins was shot four times by her brother Mason, and their parents, Leslie and Brian Jenkins, decided to keep supporting their imprisoned son and were ostracized by their community as a result.
