He convinced Curt and, some four months after the shootings, I sat across a table from him at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre; no lawyer or guards in the room. The story came out in a fractured chronology: highway patrol officers picking on Curt, RCMP picking on Curt, court clerks picking on Curt, family picking on Curt, all threads leading to that bloody July 7 night.
As for Cameron and Bourdages, it was self-defence, he finally says. He panicked when they arrived and he took off in his truck for his dad's farm so that he'd have a witness when they pulled him over. The RCMP communication centre recording of the kilometre chase that ends with Cameron and Bourdages dying is played once in court and then sealed with an order that it never be played again. Knopp weeps on the stand, describing arriving seconds after the shooting, the bang and her face burning and seeing Dagenais through the bullet hole in her windshield standing at his truck with a rifle.

In the meantime Athur Dagenais ex-wife Elsie and daughter Grace have been given full freedom to spin their own version. According to the letter Curtis wrote while he was on the run, and reading between the lines, it would appear that these two had previously conspired to have the father falsely charged with sexual offences.
A short time later, the chase ended in a gun battle that left two officers with serious gunshot wounds while year-old Dagenais, clad in a T-shirt and cut-off shorts, fled into the bush with a long-barrelled weapon. The information came out yesterday in court in North Battleford, Sask. The search for Curtis Dagenais entered its fifth day yesterday in the bush and pasture land south of Mildred, just east of Spiritwood. Crown prosecutor Jim Taylor told court that Arthur Dagenais defied a police order to stay away from the restricted search area, which is near his home.
That has led to an additional charge laid against Dagenais of possession of an unregistered. Brian Jones said later. The senior Dagenais sobbed in court as his lawyer, Lori Gollan, described his and Curtis's rocky relationship with police. The Crown is opposing bail, saying they're concerned Dagenais may try to help his son evade capture.
