Robert Pickton: The Pig Farm Killer | The Murderous Minds Podcast

MurderousMinds

Have you ever wondered what goes on within the mind of a killer? This episode takes us deep into the enigmatic psyche of Robert Pickton, infamous as one of Canada’s most notorious murderers. We scrutinize the gritty upbringing that shaped him, his uneasy childhood on a pig farm, his struggles at school, and a traumatic event that scarred his psychology profoundly. We also touch on an unexpected side of Pickton, his bond with his mother and an unlikely act of compassion towards a young girl.
The narrative takes a chilling twist as we dissect the string of women's disappearances in Vancouver's downtown east side between 1983 and 1998, puzzling investigators and leaving the community in terror. We scrutinize the prime suspects, the mounting tension within the investigative team, and the numerous challenges that stood in their path. As we get deeper, we lay bare the horrifying crimes committed on the Picton farm, his subsequent detention, and the explosive reaction from the victims' families.
In our final act, we continue our exploration into Pickton's disturbed mind, discussing his disputed autobiography and his various appeals following his arrest in 2002. We share a shocking testimony from a woman who alleges to have witnessed a body hanging in Pickton's slaughterhouse. Our guest, Laura Moshener, one of the first officers on the case, sheds light on the government's alleged attempts to limit information, undercover operations, and gives her perspective on the police's handling of the case. A chilling lawsuit against Vancouver Police Department, the RCMP, and the Crown by the victims' children adds a final, grim touch to this dark tale. Tune in and unravel the complex tapestry of Canada's most haunting murder case.
