Robert Pickton, Canada’s most prolific serial killer
A friend suggested I look into Robert Pickton amd rumors / conspiracy theories that the RCMP participated in a cover-up/use of him as the fall guy for a broader plot of political elites doing evil things with transient women, and using Pickton to dispose of the bodies.
I’m listening to podcasts and reading articles from the time. Thus far, nothing confirming that type of conspiracy. But it’s wild how absolutely unaware I was of the political/police landscape.
Thus far, I think it is far more likely that the RCMP was just negligent / lazy in their investigation because nobody could be troubled to looking into women who went missing from Canada’s Skid Row (Vancouver Eastside).
Here is a podcast which gives the broad overview, for anyone who’s unfamiliar with the story. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6IyA6QOC0JanICOVJLaJ4K?si=ouopsUtMRD-Dt7jzICGpgA&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A0IjoRtu2X2TlvKZZCoS2Kr
a pretty shocking detail I didn’t know at the time that the Pickton family actually use the property for parties. They created a not-for-profit event hall called Piggy’s Palace. so I can sort of understand where the rumors come from.
Will keep digging, and maybe put together a viva version of a “hush-hush”.
