Daily News | Netflix’s “Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker” hit the end of his wild ride in Philly
“The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker,” released earlier this week by Netflix, is currently the #1 documentary on the streaming service. It tells the story of Kai, the homeless backpacker who turned into an internet celebrity after he used his hatchet for good on a California roadway — only to be charged with a brutal murder a few months later in New Jersey.
A native of Canada, McGillivary lived a nomadic lifestyle, and preferred to say he was “home-free” rather than homeless. He gained notoriety in February 2013 after he used his hatchet to stop another man from assaulting a woman. The man, who had given McGillivary a ride, injured a Black utility worker with his car while spewing racial slurs. A female bystander tried to come to the injured man’s aid but was attacked by the driver.
Kai’s parents broke up when the boy was about 4. Then, from about age 9 to 18, Gil McGillivary said his son was sent to a residential facility in Alberta for youngsters with behavioral or psychiatric problems. McGillivary said his son told him he was physically abused while there. In May 2013, after Galfry was found dead in his bed wearing only socks and underwear, Caleb McGillivary ended up on the lam in the Philadelphia-South Jersey area.
