Claude Gariepy
 Claude Gariepy approached Shirley Bourdon, 4, as the little girl carried a chocolate in one hand and a marshallow in the other, outside her home at  5365 3rd Ave. in Rosemount on March 6, 1980.
   He took her by the hand and walked her through a laneway and rode with her on three buses, the 27, 94 and 25, to the Jacques Cartier Bridge.
   He was seen carressing the child's thighs but nobody stopped him in his deadly trip.
   He then tossed the crying child off the bridge and her body was washed down river and never found.

   Gariepy was 21 but had the mental age of an eight year old and could not read or write.

  He might've been influenced by hearing about a similar ordeal eight months earlier which saw two thugs murder two teens in a similar way. 
   After killing the child, which took about one hour, Gariepy went bowling with his parents and other family members..

   Gariepy was accused of doing the same thing with a second child, Yannick Geoffroy, 5, one week later on March 12. He was not convicted of that crime.
   Gariepy was seen by a bus driver, CBC employee Pierre Caron and another passenger tossing the young Bourdon into the icy waters on the St. Lawrence River.
 Gariepy, who lived in Rosemont, had previous run-ins with the law. He had been charged with stealing $328 from a passerby one night and tossing the person to the ground, that took place on Frontenac, not far from where Geoffroy lived. 
   He was also charged with other thefts but repeatedly missed his court dates, for which the court was remarkably tolerant. 
   Gariepy, who had difficulty expressing himself, was deemed able to tell right from wrong.
   Nonetheless he was deemed insane and placed in the Pinel Institute. He would be 54 today.
