| Scott Steinert |
| Scott Steinert was born in Wisconsin, America, in 1962 and relocated to Quebec with his family at the age of eight. Not much is known about his early years but, by the early 90s, Steinert had become a feared member of the Hells Angels Montreal chapter. He was now extremely influential and owned three stripper agencies and an escort service. The Hells Angel became godfather to the Laval based Death Riders motorcycle gang after Michael "L'Animal" Lajoie-Smith's August 30, 1996 conviction for planting a bomb at the Le Gascon stripclub in Lachenaie. He now supervised the gang's activities in Laval and the lower Laurentians. Later that year, Steinert moved into the extravagant Lavigueur mansion on Ile-Jesus. He put up an eight-foot high fence around the property and installed security cameras on the estate. Steinert even had his bodyguard, Donald Magnusen, move into one of the homes on the property. |
| The Lavigueur estate became his base of operations and Steinert often conducted business with other Hells Angels and members of his puppet club, the Death Riders, there. He also directed and starred in several porno movies on the property, the most famous of which is Babe's Angel. In late August, 1997, as the war between the Hells Angels and Rock Machine raged on, Steinert's escort service was torched by rivals. But it was only a temporary setback and business continued as usual. On the evening of November 4, 1997, just weeks after Steinert's marriage, he called his bodyguard Donald Magnusen and explained that they had a meeting to attend. Magnusen left his house in tears and the two never returned. The Surete du Quebec, who believed Steinert had went into hiding to escape deportation, issued a warrant for his arrest on January 22, 1998. He was also charged with possessing goods obtained with the proceeds of crime and seized the Lavigueur estate, two houses in Sorel, and a garage. The truth behind Steinert's disappearance unfolded on May 23, 1998, when police discovered the Magnusen's corpse in the St. Lawrence Seaway. Steinert's body floated to the surface almost a year later, on April 15, 1999. The Hells Angels had beaten both men to death, wrapped them in plastic, and dumped the bodies in the river. The motive behind the murders has yet to be revealed. |
