Background


Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Lillebuen graduated from the University of Alberta [1] with a Bachelor of Arts in literature and media studies.[2] As a university student, he served as an editor and writer for The Gateway, the campus newspaper.[3]


In 2004, Lillebuen founded the Gateway Alumni Association (GAA), an official chapter of the University of Alberta's alumni association, and served as its first president.[3][4]



Career in Journalism


Lillebuen has been widely published across Canada and Australia as a journalist at news wire agencies The Canadian Press and Australian Associated Press.[1][2][5]


In 2007, he co-founded the Edmonton edition of Metro, a division of the international freesheet media company, and served as a managing editor and senior reporter.[2][6]


He later joined the Edmonton Journal as a police reporter.[2][7] While at the newspaper, he covered homicides and major crimes across Alberta and northern British Columbia, including the case of Mark Twitchell.[2] The criminal investigation and first-degree murder trial drew substantial media attention [8] due to its connections to Dexter Morgan,[9] a fictional serial killer and bloodstain pattern analyst featured in the Dexter television program and series of books.


The Mark Twitchell case and trial became the focus of The Devil's Cinema, Lillebuen's first book, after he left the newspaper.[1][5][7]


The book won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Non-Fiction.[10][11] It was also shortlisted in Australia for the Ned Kelly Award.[12]

Quarantine

For other uses, see Quarantine (disambiguation). Signal flag "Lima" called the "Yellow Jack" which when flown in harbor means ship is under quarantine. A simple yellow flag (also called the "Yellow Jack") had historically been used to signal quarantine (it stands for Q among signal flags), but now indicates the opposite, as a signal of a ship free of disease that requests boarding and inspection. A quarantine is used to separate and restrict the movement of people; it is 'a restraint upon the activities or communication of persons or the transport of goods designed to prevent the spread of disease or pests', for a certain period of time. [1] This is often used in connection to disease and illness, such as those who may possibly have been exposed to a communicable disease. [2] The term is often erroneously used to mean medical isolation, which is "to separate ill persons who have a communicable disease from those who are healthy...
