The Disturbing Case of Douglas Garland

When young Nathan O'Brien and his grandparents, Alvin and Kathy Liknes, disappeared from there, the search was on, and it was big. What happened and where did they go? Releasing one piece of evidence to the public would lead the authorities to a remote farm, and a very strange individual who lived there.

Only bright spot in this whole sad story. Throw a party when they torture and kill him.

[@lumpenomewr]

@@XXccvm unfortunately he’s in solitary confinement for the rest of his life. When they first transferred him to Edmonton max, they put him in with other inmates and turned a blind eye. He got a beating but nowhere near what he should have got. They should have gouged his eyes out. The guards were not supposed to place him with other inmates, they knew who he was and they purposely put him in danger. Kudos to them for doing that but they only had one chance to do it right and the guys who beat him failed miserably. They could have really made him pay but all they did was beat him up .

[@k-isfor-kristina]

His sister was the real MVP. Just goes to show what kind of man he is that his sister is like "hey those are my parents in law missing, and that's my POS brother's truck" and calls the cops right away. Who knows how long it would have taken them to crack the lead had she not called in.

I know one of the CPO's (Correctional Peace Officers) that works where Garland's being held, and although he was put in a more "quiet" part of the prison, he's not exactly having a good time. For instance he'll probably never eat another meal without spit in it for the rest of his life. He was damn near beaten to death in 2017 being transferred there, and prisoners from other wings all want to take a shot at him for killing a kid. One of the other CPO's overheard a dude doing life for murder at the Edmonton Max talking about Garland, saying he wanted to, and I quote: "Rip his fucking head off and hand it to the guards." Let's just say there's very little chance of Robert Garland dying in prison of old age.

It was extremely upsetting. Would see Nathan at the local rink that all springbank teams practiced at, stopped seeing him and everything surfaced. Affected the community greatly. I know this video was posted a year ago but if you wanted mike I could send you a picture of the helmet sticker for Nathan that I still keep on my hockey helmet to this day, even though I stopped playing hockey when I was 18.

[@shutyourmouth70]

@@nicolenotizieeamici even the term psychopathy has become an excuse and a backdoor out for these people. Everyone is conveniently mentally ill when they get caught being evil. I don't believe in the majority of "mental illness" & "molested as a child" claims made by murderers when they are caught. They are lying to lessen their sentence. I was molested as a child too, I never killed anybody. I never have sick urges to murder people as a result of sexual molestation. I am a little dependent on sexual contact with my partner for emotional validation & without it, it fucks with me, & makes me distrust the person I'm with so it has its ripple effects and so on, but frankly, I call total bullshit on the vast majority of mental illness and molestation claims made by people on trial for murder. They are using loopholes in the system to get out of it & I think most people must sense this but maybe they don't coz too many people get away with it. If anything, being harmed myself, I am a hopeless empath, perhaps to a fault, or perhaps to my own detriment at least. It did not make me callous or cruel, but the opposite. Everybody reacts differently but it seems the crueler people have been to me throughout my life, the less like them I become because I hate what they did & what they do & I don't want to be like them. I'd rather be like me, even if my life is shitter because I'm not a predator and I don't gain from others and I'm not hunting to take advantage of people, I get taken advantage of, but at least I know my intentions in my life have been mostly for the good and while good intentions may pave the way to hell on earth, I don't believe they do in death, I believe intentions count and mean a lot after death. Sorry for going on a tangent your comment made me think and remember and one thing led to another so here we are. Main point I mean to say was most claims of "psychopathy" & "mental" illness are some over-convenient total horseshit. I know mental illness is real & should be treated appropriately but frankly I don't even believe current science know the first thing about it in general & in some decades or a century from now people will look back on the current mental health industry as a barbaric, hideous, and stupidly wrong institution, much how our current generation looks back on the mental health industry 100 years before ourselves. Our understanding of the human mind is still very primitive. That's a total other story for another day though but so many people get away with it or get a cushier sentence by exploiting that fact.

Thank you for covering this case. I am familiar with a lot of true crime cases, and this is by far one of the (if not the ultimate) most disturbing cases I’ve ever seen. I’m also shocked at how little coverage it gets within the true crime world. It happened in my hometown, and my mom actually used to teach at the school that Nathan’s brother attends-and that Nathan himself would have attended. She has met Nathan’s mother on more than one occasion, and says she is an incredible woman and an example of unwavering strength. May Nathan and his grandparents rest in peace, and may that monster responsible never see the light of day again.
