Thread: Pickton

Disgusting. Do not continue reading if you are weak stomached.

For those of you who have not heard the news, this man is accused of killing 6 women from Vancouver. However, it is likely that he is responsible for up to 70 murders and bragged to an undercover police officer that he was about to kill one more girl to make his kill count "an even 50".

This was all over the news last night so I thought I would post to hear what you all would have to say - especially you in the States. I am curious how American media will cover this.

Here are some sites, I must warn that the details of the case are gross. Be warned that this man is a pig farmer..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Pickton - Surprising from a wiki-page.

To sum up the details that usually intrigue people to listen:
- During a search of the Pickton pig-farm property, officers found jaw-bones, hands, and feet crushed and burried into pig manure and other parts of the property.
- Severed heads were found in canisters.
- A couple of heads were found to be cut vertically (I assume through the band saws) with the "disarticulated" hands and feet placed in the skull. Further investigation showed a gun shot wound exiting the eyes of one of the skulls.
- A .22 caliber gun found with a sex toy attached to the barrel covered in plastic (where DNA was found of one of the women.

These are just a sample of what was found. No wonder the guy is sealed in a bullet-proof case during trial.
