Langdon property owners fearful of accused serial rapist Robert Mantha's potential release

A bail decision is expected Friday in the case against 59-year-old Richard Robert Mantha, who is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting five women.

A bail decision is expected Friday in the case against 59-year-old Richard Robert Mantha, who is accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting five women.

"It is very hard to live a normal life when for the last three months, you wonder if a person is going to get bail or not," said Muriel Schaack-Lock. 

"It makes us very fearful."

Schaack-Lock and her husband Paul were renting a Quonset on their Langdon property to Martha, where these alleged crimes are said to have taken place.

Schaack-Lock says she understands Mantha’s lawyer Kim Arial is seeking his release on bail, while the Crown is arguing that he stay in prison. 

"The unknown is actually worse than if you knew," said Schaack-Lock. 

"We have installed extra cameras around our property. It's not only us, it's our neighbors that are wondering if this guy's going to come back. We both feel that if he is released, he will find a way to come (to the property) because he has nothing to lose."
