they expected  it to be a routien  job, a block drain is usually  a simple fix the plumbers brought their drain snake with them an essential plumbing tool made up of a long wire witch

a cork screw and if  the block was substantial it shouldn’t  have taken them longer than an hour with this specialist tool.

but they encountered a problem, after several days of  block pipes the neighbors were getting  ansy  they wanted a quick and easy fix to the problem.but what  the blumbers discovered in the drains was  anything but quick and easy

with far- reaching  consequences

and body barts callously flushed down the toilet

this is the chilling story  of adam strong

let’st start with rori hache she was born in july 1999 in Oshawa  a quite suburb in  intario canada, she was a bright ans spirited kid wigt a fondness for animals and elderly

she kept hersel busy outside of school as an army cadet  and by the age of 13  she had received the cadet of the year title  twice.

but when she entered high school a year later,things took a turn for the worse as a 14 year old  freshman she was offered crystal meth

she accepted it 

the first mistake in what would go on to be a yearslong struggle with addiction as only a teenager

Rori came from a troubled background  her grandfather was Bernie guindon otherwise as bernie the frog. the  founder  of satan’s choice motorcycle club .

which was  for a time  the  second lagrest biker club in the world, as an outlaw biker with drug and assault  convictions he’d served  22 years in prison and it had anywhere between 11 and 16 children .

one of these was  rori’s uncle harley davidson.

who owned a clothin store in Oshawa ,rori and her uncle were close

harley himself was  a hell’s angels bikeer with a history of drug offenses

and a tattoo  on his back that announched his fight records in prison

41 wins and and no losses.

still he had a soft spot for his teenaged nice  in 2016 when she was 17  she lived with harley and  his familiy when he was under house arrest on drug charges

Rori’s mother ,dionne had reported herseld to the childresn aid sociaty because  she thougt it was the only way of getting rory the help she needed with her addicton.

the services didn’t helpt bur rory was a ble to turn her  life around on her own, the last 6 months of her lifewere positive ones  rori had had a boyfriend  ,Tony and even her own apartment

harley had recently given her  and her mother $1,000  to help with living expenses  but rory had found  a job  of her own and had gone back to schoolthings were looking up

in august 2017 her aunt  michelle  took her to a drugstore to buy a  pregnancy test- it came back positive rory was pregant and she wanted to keep the baby .

she was looking forward to motherhood but it was at the end  of that same month that things would go horribly  wrong .

On august 10th

 there  was an unexplained fire in rori’s mother’s house, it injuews shanan and killed her dog ,this might have been the inciting incident in rory’s downwards spiral.

rory was a regular at a youth  center called the refuge ,workers there noted that she had relapsed in to druguse recently though in august they said she was doing better .

a few  day before the end of  august harley  met with rori and noticed  something  different about her,she didn’t want to talk about what  was going on  with her  and seemed cornered, secrective.

he described her hug as  heartbreaking the largest hug she’d ever given him  a hug that felt  lika a final goodbey

august 29 th, 2017

rori’s frend and  the friend’s mom took her to the hospital, we don’t know  exaxt the reason why but she’s been described  as having  had some sort of mental episode.they were captured on CCT   sitting in the waiting room

rory’i friend  and the friend’s mom were pictured exiting the hospital shortly afterwards leaving rory alone to wait .she sat  in the waiting room  for 15 minutes but then she left before she could be examined by a doctor

she can be seen in this footage living the hopspital on her own this was the last time rory hache would be seen alive.when  she didn’t show up at the refuge for a few days ,her friends and  guidance councelor began to get worried .

together with her family they raised the alarm  some people thought she had skipped town  reverting to old habits but her closest family were sure she wouldn’t do that now 

she was pregnant and in a stable relationship  they knew something wrong 

september 11th ,2017

her story  took a horrifying  turn

it was a pleasant even in Oshawa harbor and a grandfather and his 11 year old  grandson was out fishing

standing on the  pier they noticed  something strange in the water,it appeared at first  to be a piece of trash, so the pair  cast their lines towards to hook it ad make the lake cleaner

after about  half an hour of effort they managed to reel it close enough that they  could catch it in a net  and haul it onto the  pier.

one of them reacalls thinking it  was an animal of  some sort ,maybe a chicken

,but the anglers would soon realize the truth was far worse. the grandfather recalls  saying  ” i think that’s a body “

the item drawn in from the lake was infact a femal torso ,when the police arrived they determined it showed signgs of trauma  and it had been deliberately severed  from the rest of the body .

the police  toolk the torso away to be identified

but lake ontario was a huge area and the police couldn’t rule out that it had been carried to Oshawa from somewhere else

the absecence of the pelvis from the torso made  identification more difficult and  the condition of the torso made it dificult to  determine whether the victim had been pregnant or not .

10th november 2017

it took nearly 2 months  for  the  pilice to compare  the torso’s DNA  with DNA supllied by rory’s family and find  that it matched .

the severed torso belonged to rori hache and her  misssing  perosn’s case  had turned into a murder.

but how had her torso ended up in the lake ,who  had killed her and  horrifyingly where was  the rest of her body ?

there were no leads ,the lake  had washed away any evidence that could point to the perpetrator.

and rori’s final movements were a mystery

they didn’t know how long  she’d been in the lake or how long she’d been alive after leaving  the hospital waiting room, whom had she met,what had they done to her ?

for now the police didn’t know 

and the family settled down anxously to wait , they  waited  until december  28th ,20017

when the police were notificed of a grim  discovery by an oshawa plumber

the plumbers were called out about a pipe blockage by a couple  upstairs rental  apartment.

the blockage had lasted several days and the other  resident of the building the man who lived in the basement suit .

adam  strong hadn’t been able to do anything  about it, though he asked the  upstairs for a plumbing snake to clear it .he told them it was an infalted condom clocking the drain .

the upstairs neighbors took it upon themselves to call the plumbers the source of the blockage  was the downstairs appartment which  strong had been renting for over a decade.

so the  plumbers knocked on strong’s door

the basement suite was filled with a nauseating   stench, strong seemed nervous  commenting  that the state of the drains  was vile and as we know   as the plumbers snaked the pipes they found something awful

the police arrived shortly afterwards they suspected that the material coming out of the pipes was human flesh

the  plumbres were horrified by what they’d stumbled upon and the awareness that they’d spent so many hours in contact with  this man  

because when police knocked on strong’s door he  opened it and said  almost immediatelly 

they arrested him instantly

in the squad car outside he continued  to bet talktative, he said  if you want the rest of her she’s in my freezer and she’s pretty defleshed.

with a mounting a feeling of horror , the officers open the  freezer inside it they found  various severed body parts

this incluced a human head.on the neck was tattoed the word  alive

the same tattoo rori  had had.

these were rory hache’s body parts her , autopsy  revelead multiple  facial injuries and two fractures .

the exact cause of death was not certain she had drugs in her system ,but there was no way of determining the quantity

it was also suggested that she might have been strangled or died from blunt  force trauma

whathever the case she had died in a  horrible attack

the police didn’t get anywhere  interviewing strong though he’d previously been talkitive almost bragging about the human remains found on his property

so they turnedback to his appartment to search for more evidence

it was extremely messy, cluttered , they found a number of restraining devices and adult  toys.

alongside weapons,like a hammer.on this hammer they found rori’s DNA

they found rorie’s running shoes in a plastic bag with what appeared to be blod  spatter on  them

 they also found blood spatter on the wall and the bottom  baseboards  leding into strong’s bedroom.

there was evicence of other crimes too.

strong’s online search  documented his obession with extreme gore and death this interest had crossed over into the real world in  alarming ways 

they found  an undetonated pipe bomb which the bomb squade had to be called to detonate

perhaps most damningly..

they also found a specialty knife in the knifed drawer

it was  the sort of knife used by hunters to cut and skin animalsthe sort of  knife that could have  been usef for rori’s dismemberment.

they checked this knife for rori’s DNA  but what they  found on it would blow this case wide open it

it was  the DNA of a another victim

the second victim  was 19 year old Kandis Fitzpatrick

kandice was born in 1989 not much is known about  her exept for her simularities to rori.

she too was often out on the streets in Oshawa and she also had a drug problem, but she also had a loving family the same  way rori did. and that family had been looking for her for nearly 10 years .

ever since she went missing  in march  2008.

now finally they had a clue, as to what  had happened to her and it was nothing good.

tthey had kandi’s DNA on the knife but they found no sign of her body 

so they went back to strong

initially  he wanted to talk about rori,he revealed a callous cruel  attitude to her death and the way he dismembered  her which he’d  begun on christmas eve  2017 because that  was the neighbors were away 

they had already charged strong with committing an indignity to a dead body he believed that as long as they stuck to this line of questioning 

about  the practicalities of what he ‘done after rori was dead he was  safe from any other charges.but the more he told the detecftives thee more they could push him to reveal more incriminating details

and  the more a judge could infer about  what he’d done to rori while she was alive .

strong did not give an actual confession to either murder that of rori  or od Kandis.

he did admit to knowing  rori, having had dinner with her and that  she’d come to his apartment on more than one occasion

he continued to confess  that he dismembered her body  after ther death and expresssed suprise that her torso had been found in the lake

he didn’t thin she should have floated , he also  described  the months it took him to dispose of her  body  parts -as a result of procrastination

he blame his possession of the knife with kandi’s DNA  on it as procrastination 2  admitting he should have disposed of it and then he might not have been caught.

and he admitted to having known kandis in the  first place, this and the physical DNA evidence were  enoug for the police to charge  adam strong with  both murders in november 2018 a year after rori’s torso had been  identifed

without a confession the prosecutors had to focus  on strong as a person, strong born in 1972

was  45 when the plumbers found rori’s  remains

he was gas station atendant  and occasional film set  security guard  not much is known about his early life though he claimed to had a bad childhood

it was  a really bad  childhood, he also had a troubled history with women prosecutors called two  women to the stand who’d both had relationships with strong  in the  past at least 20 years ago when strong himself was in his 20s

they said  he’d enjoyed bondage and choking which for one of the women was consensual but for the other woman  was not she  said she’d felt frightened for her safety when it happened.

this troubling behaviour painted a picture of  an aggressive and cruel person, the defense tried to suggest  that perhaps the girls  had overdosed and strong had panicked disposing of their bodies in casw  he was blame

rori’s head injuries however told a different story….

strong did his best to delay the trial’a proceedings took place during the pandemic meaning much of it was conducted  via video link

but even so there were occasions when he refused to appear.

” i was  up all night”  he complained,refusing to meet with his lawyer to discuss the case

he said

his arrogance did not endear him to the court 

and  on march 16,2021

after many delays,strong was convicted  of one count of  first-degree for killing rori and one count of manslaughter in Kandis  death

thos was all the more remakable with without kandis’s body  and without a confession to either killing ,  but the confession to dismemberement was evidently enought.

 automatic life  sentence

the count of murder carried an autoamtic life sentence,perhaps resigning himself to his fate

in july  2021 strong admitted to a prison guard the location of kandis  remains.

which was  an intersection in oshawa and he pointed out  where  he thought he buried her body .

they  recovered  kandis remains and were finally  able to offer her family closure

strong sentence will be especially dangerous  for him

rorie’s  family   connection to  biker gangs including notorious outlaw biker bernie guindon founder of satan’s choice motorcycle club.

means that people on the inside will be gunning for strong as the man who killed their leader’s granddaughter.

one convict said 

and it all gets down to that  you  can’t kill a biker’s granddaughter and get away with it .

but we still don’t know exactly  how strong met these women or why  he murdered them

the prosecution theorized that these was crimes of opportunity that strong ran into kandis and rori on the street  and kidnapped them.

he still has not revealed the truth.

what’s most disturbing  is the decade long  gap between  his first kill and his second and the  question of what he might have done in between….
