A story published by News 1130 in 2013 refers to Gracie living in Chilliwack at the time. It notes police had warned the public that Gracie was a threat to children and women. His probation order at the time prevented him from being in contact with children, being in places where children may be, associating with sex workers and consuming alcohol.
