deliberation, on April 13, 1999, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of first-degree murder. Roy was sentenced to automatic life imprisonment without possibility of parole for 25 years. In 2003, the Court of Appeal for Ontario rejected an appeal by Roy, who claimed that police at his interrogation had denied him his right to remain silent. Stay Alert ... Stay Safe In May 1987, Lesley Parrott, aided by colleagues at the advertising agency where she worked, launched the Canada-wide Stay Alert ... Stay Safe program. Aimed at children aged seven through ten, the program's main objective was to attune children's instincts to dangerous situations, whether at home or elsewhere. Both Alison and her younger brother had attended an all-day "streetproofing" seminar the year before her murder, in which young children receive instruction on how to "avoid potential molesters and abductors". Documentaries The fourth episode of season 1 of Cold Case Files, titled "Answer in the Box; Maternal Instinct" (1999), follows the disappearance of Alison and subsequent investigation of the crime. Killer in a Box (1999) was the second episode of season 3 of Exhibit A: Secrets of Forensic Science, a Canadian documentary television program, hosted by Graham Greene, that revisited criminal cases. Parrott's murder was one of the cases examined in the 2007 documentary Forgiveness: Stories For Our Time.
