Kingston Police Searching for Missing Collins Bay Institution Inmate
Police say a warrant has been issued and public safety advice has been shared as officers search for the convicted murderer.
- On Thursday, Mason Jenkins, 49, escaped from the minimum-security unit at Collins Bay Institution in Kingston after staff discovered him missing during an 11:15 a.m. count.
- Jenkins was serving a life sentence for the 1998 first-degree murder of his sister, Jennifer Jenkins, and faces unrelated drug trafficking charges; he maintained his innocence for years before confessing in a 2009 documentary.
- Police describe Jenkins as five-foot-nine and approximately 255 pounds with a fair complexion and shaved head; he was last seen wearing a light green jacket, blue jeans, and rubber boots, and authorities warn the public not to approach him.
- Correctional Service Canada stated that minimum-security institutions are designed to foster prosocial behavior and personal development without fences, while the agency investigates how the escape occurred and works with police to locate Jenkins.
- Given his connections to Chatham-Kent, the Chatham-Kent Police Service is assisting in the search; anyone with information on his whereabouts should immediately contact 911 or local authorities.
