Need UM Case Identification - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember once seeing a case about a pedophile or drug dealer or something of the sort who was going up to children at playgrounds, basketball courts, etc. in his car, having them get in his car, and giving them brown paper bags filled with something (not sure if it was money, drugs, food) if, in exchange, they would do something for him. There was an update, the blue-background-with-white-typing-letters type, that said his body was found dead, run over on railroad tracks in Quebec, in an apparent suicide.

As you can see, my memory of this case is quite vague, but I would really like to learn the name of the case/criminal and maybe find somewhere where I can view it.

Thanks!

I don't remember all of the details on the case, but I know that UM profiled a film producer named David MacLeod. He was arrested on molesation charges, but fled. I'm not so sure about him being run over by a train; I just know that he was found dead at a railway overpass in Montreal, and that his death was said to have resulted from an irregular heartbeat.

According to reports, he died on December 6, 1998. In other words, tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of his death.

Thanks a lot. Seeing as how vaguely I remember it, that may be the exact case, and my memory was just tweaking things. Do you know of anywhere that I could see it (I want something free, if possible)?
