David 'Wolf' MacDonald Carroll

Cops looking for him have been coming up empty for over 2 decades. It's 23 years in pursuit of HA David 'Wolf' MacDonald Carroll. Carroll, now 72, has been on the run since 2001 when he was busted for drug trafficking, racketeering and murder, along with boss and close friend Maurice 'Mom' Boucher.

Involved in over a dozen murders, Carroll was a key member of the Nomads.

Carroll was born in Halifax and joined an OMG called the 13th Tribe, which eventually became the HA Halifax chapter. He would become president. Recruited by Boucher personally, he came to Montreal in 1995.

David MacDonald Carroll was an efficient killer.

On June 24, 1995, he was one of the nine founding members of the elite Nomads. He was placed in charge of drug dealing in the Laurentians.

Carroll was charged in the Lennoxville massacre but was acquitted.

He became Boucher’s most trusted hit man, taking part in at least 15 murders. The Wolf did a year in jail for running a prostitution ring in Montreal in the mid-1980s. He didn’t intend on going back. When he got word in early 2001 of a major bust, he disappeared. When cops spread out across Quebec in Operation Printemps, they nailed everyone but David Carroll. 22 years later, they’re still looking. One of his sightings was in Australia in 2012. He’s said to be supporting his travels by setting up drug deals in the countries he’s visited. He was nearly busted in the Dominican Republic, where cops missed him by weeks.

(life) Detectives visited Carroll at his apartment in February 2001. The cops and Carroll spoke for several hours about different topics, including becoming an informant and his take on the Biker Wars.

On February 8, 2001, less than two months after Mom Boucher's arrest for ordering the murder of two prison guards, cops rang the doorbell of Carroll's apartment. Carroll waved them in as soon as the two identified themselves and asked if they could speak with him. "When you’re a Hells Angel like me, there are four ways to leave the group. Leave on good terms. End up in a sleeping bag. Leave with your suitcase without telling anyone. Or change course and become an informer."

On March 28, 1,700 police officers conducted Operation Spring 2001, busting 130 Hells Angels members and associates. "Wolf" Carroll was to be arrested for murder and drug trafficking. But he had already made his choice: pack his bags and leave without warning.
