MEDICINE HAT, AB — An Edmonton father, whose son’s killer has been found on an online dating site, has started a petition, in hopes of getting the Prime Minister’s attention.

T-Jaye Heller pleaded guilty to second degree murder in a Medicine Hat courtroom in 2013.

According to his profile on Canadian Inmates Connect, Heller is currently working as a photographer at the Bowden Penitentiary, where he’s incarcerated.

The profile goes on to state that he’s interested in connecting with women and likes watching NFL on Sunday’s.

The father of the boy, who was two years old at the time, can’t be identified in order to protect the toddler’s identity.
