Brock Graham: Then and Now

This photograph of Brock Graham, shown on the left, was taken before his incarceration in 1996. Graham is now 66 years old, approximately 30 years after the murder of Patti Ducharme. He is hardly recognizable from the man I remember.

MP Kibble’s Press Release – Parole Decision (July 6, 2026)


The Public’s Response to Graham’s Parole Release

After a single publication in the Vancouver Sun and Province Newspapers, Cold Case Canada published an article announcing Graham’s parole release, the public is outraged. Within 24 hours of the posting on Facebook, the article received over 1K comments, 1.5K likes, and over 380 shares, with hundreds asking where Brock’s current picture is and where he is being released. Of all 1.2K comments posted before it was locked (3 days later), not one single person endorsed his release.

The Ducharme and Duggan family are also asking the Parole Board of Canada and Correctional Service Canada:

Public Safety and Transparency
  • Why is Graham’s release location not being publicly shared?
  • Why is a recent photograph of Graham not made available to the public?
  • How are the Canadian people being informed when Graham gets placed into a halfway house?
  • How does the CSC and NPB monitor released inmates getting on Canadian flights?
  • How are the public supposed to be able to protect themselves without knowing this information?
Protection of Victims and Their Families
  • What has been done to mitigate the safety risk to one of the victim’s family members who was warned by Correctional Service Canada that they should be concerned about their safety if Graham gets released?
  • Why do Graham’s release conditions not include travel restrictions to Alberta and British Columbia, where his victims reside, as was the case for all previous parole hearings?
Risk Assessment and the Decision to Release
  • How does the Parole Board justify Graham’s release when he admitted in 2021 that he is high risk to reoffend?
  • How did the Board determine that Graham has demonstrated sufficient insight, accountability, responsibility and understanding of the harm caused by his offences to justify his release into the community while fundamental issues remain unresolved?
  • What information did the Board rely upon in assessing his level of accountability and insight?
  • How did the Board weigh Graham’s inability to provide remorse or disclosure regarding two unresolved issues when assessing whether Graham’s risk could safely be managed in the community?
Lynn Duggan: Accountability, Disclosure and Unresolved Questions
  • How did the Board assess Graham’s understanding of the continuing impact of Lynn Duggan’s disappearance on her family?
  • Did the Board consider Graham’s continued failure to disclose what happened to Lynn or the location of her remains when assessing his risk?
  • If it was considered, how did the Board determine that this unresolved issue did not materially affect its assessment of his accountability, insight, remorse, or risk?
  • If it was not considered, why was this information not considered relevant to the assessment?
Electronic Monitoring
  • Why is Electronic Monitoring not part of Graham’s conditions when it has been recommended by Senator Boisvenu, the creator of E.M. in Canada, and former MP Alistair MacGregor?
  • Graham has offered twice to be electronically monitored; why has that not been enacted?
  • Why are victims not entitled to know if their offender is being monitored when the offender is aware?

These concerns raise two very important questions for all Canadians: 

  • Do Canada’s current laws and policies provide the appropriate balance between an offender’s privacy and security interests and the information and public-safety concerns?
  • Do the current Parole Board policies and legislation reflect the values of Canada’s victims, their families, and the broader community?

Canadians deserve transparency, and victims and the public deserve stronger safety and protection rights than those of offenders. The Ducharme family believes that the needs of victims and their families have a voice; personal safety and access to information should remain a priority consideration in decisions concerning individuals convicted of serious violent offences.


Petition – E7545: GPS Electronic Monitoring for High-Risk Federal Offenders

“Too many victims continue to live in fear after their abuser’s release. This petition, sponsored by my colleague Helena Konanz-MP, is calling on the Government of Canada to establish a presumption for GPS ankle monitors for high-risk offenders convicted of intimate partner violence, while ensuring victims receive timely notification, meaningful consultation and practical safety supports.” (MP Frank Caputo) *See MP Caputo’s Post Here. *See MP Konanz’s Post Here.


Recognition & Appreciation

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with victims, survivors, and families in the pursuit of truth, justice, and safer communities.

We extend our deepest gratitude to MP Jeff Kibble, MP Frank Caputo, and the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime, Dr. Roebuck, for standing alongside the Ducharme family and attending Brock Graham’s Day Parole hearing in Kingston, Ontario, on June 23, 2026. MP Kibble and MP Caputo announced their attendance on the Day Bailey’s Law (Bill C-225) was passed into law (June 17, 2026).

Our family is profoundly grateful for your compassion, your dedication to victims’ rights, and your commitment to bringing attention to Graham’s Parole Status, making our mother’s story relevant today, and the Secondary Victimization Issues caused by the National Parole Board of Canada processes.

Announcement: MP Caputo and MP Kibble to Observe Brock’s Parole Hearing

MP Jeff Kibble and MP Frank Caputo, Canada’s Shadow Minister of Public Safety, highlighted the relevance of our mother’s case to the recently passed Bailey’s Law (Bill C-225), which has now received Royal Assent and become law.

This legislation represents an important step forward in Canada’s response to intimate partner violence by strengthening protections for victims and reinforcing accountability for offenders. Graham killed two intimate partners; both murders would now be treated as first-degree murder.
