Jon Kanak

Jon Kanak is a budding serial killer and abductor who appeared in The Forever People.

Background
When he was still a child, Kanak went hiking with his parents in the wilderness. When they got lost and temperatures dropped down to dangerous levels, the three had to resort to extreme measures in order to survive. There aren't any specific details regarding these measures, but the event obviously had a lasting impact on Kanak's psyche. As a result, he developed a sexual attraction to freezing and decided to join The Forever People, a Nevada cult that froze newcomers alive and then resuscitated them as an initiation ritual. He became a member, but became unsatisfied by the absence of other freezing rituals. As a result, Kanak began killing members of the cult who wanted to leave, using a walk-in freezer he apparently purchased.

The Forever People
After killing Sarah Rhodes and Adam Lewis, Kanak abducts Carl Mason, Sarah's husband, who was searching for his son Bobby, one of the children Kanak was assigned to watch over. Succumbing to his desire to watch someone be frozen, he takes Carl to his house, where the freezer was, and leaves him inside. He is about to kill Carl when JJ bursts into the home and holds him at gunpoint. Kanak tells her that if she fires her gun or if he switches on his lighter, the gas he uses, which is leaking all over the freezer, will ignite and kill them in an explosion. However, JJ takes her chances and shoots Kanak without igniting the gas. Both Kanak and Carl survive, with the former being taken to prison while the latter reunites with Bobby.

Modus Operandi
Kanak targeted members of The Forever People who wanted to leave the cult, to ensure no one would miss them. He would take them to his house, tie them up using zip-ties, and lock them in a walk-in freezer, where they would slowly freeze. After a while, he would reenter the freezer, cut the victims loose, and then kill them by spraying them with smoke measuring at subzero temperatures.
