| Robert Pickton | Crimes | Victims | Discovery | Imprisonment | More Info |
Robert Pickton's crimes began in the year 1978 before finally being caught and charged on February 22, 2002.
During this time, he targeted specifically woman, especially sex workers and indigenous people because they were
targets that would go unnoticed by the masses. After he found his victim, he would lure them to his farm, Pickton farms,
with promises of money and drugs.
Pickton wasn't only charged with murder when he was finally caught. He was also charged with attempt murder after a
woman escaped his farm, possession of illegal possession of Firearms and Weapons, including his own modified guns, and many more.
Whenever the police/investigators came to his farm he purposely misled the police and hid the evidence from them. He manipulated
people close to him and got them unknowingly to bring victims to his farm. There were also huge health regulations violations on his farm.
Finally, the crimes Pickton was most well known for were his gruesome murders. When the women or the victims were at his farm,
he would murder them by strangulation, using firearms, or stabbing. Robert would then often butcher his victims in a fashion
similar to butchering pigs. Once he cut up his victims, he would feed the body parts to his pigs, bury them, or store them in freezers,
and there is speculation that Pickton even put the body parts into the meat processed on the farm.
In the end Pickton was charged with twenty-one murders and convicted with 6. In prison he confessed to an undercover
police officer that he committed forty-nine murders and wanted to do one more to “make it an even fifty”.
Even years later, they continued to find multiple dissected skulls in the freezers of the farm,
as well as different body parts such as hands and feet tucked away into buckets. There were some reports
about the hand and feet being served at barbecues, and some were given to close associates of Pickton, but it's not certain.
