The Crimes Of Robert Pickton
n February 5, 2002, the arrest of Robert Pickton marked a pivotal moment in the investigation into the disappearances of numerous women in British Columbia, Canada. Constable Nathan Wells of the RCMP's Coquitlam Detachment played a crucial role in obtaining a search warrant after receiving information about Pickton's possession of an illegal firearm, specifically a Mac 10 FULL AUTO handgun. Prompted by a former truck driver for the Pickton family who disclosed the presence of illegal firearms on the property, law enforcement swiftly moved to secure a search warrant. The subsequent raid on Pickton's pig farm on February 5 revealed not only several illegal and unregistered firearms but also disturbing evidence linking missing women to the property. During the search, investigators uncovered women's clothing, shoes, jewelry, and even personal items like an asthma inhaler prescribed to Sereena Abotsway, one of the missing women. The discovery of Mona Wilson's blood in a motorhome further escalated the severity of the situation. Pickton was re-arrested on February 22, 2002, and initially charged with two counts of murder. However, as the investigation progressed, a staggering total of 26 murder charges were eventually laid against him. While in custody at the Surrey jail, Pickton unknowingly shared a cell with an undercover RCMP officer. Believing the officer to be another detainee, Pickton made chilling admissions, confessing to the murders of 49 women and expressing a desire to make it 50. Simultaneously, the Pickton pig farm transformed into the largest crime scene in Canadian history, with extensive forensic efforts undertaken to recover evidence. This included the collection of 200,000 DNA samples and the meticulous sifting through 383,000 cubic yards of soil in search of human remains, amounting to a staggering cost of nearly $70 million. Additionally, incriminating videotapes emerged, featuring conversations with Pickton's acquaintances. Scott Chubb, a friend of Pickton, recounted Pickton suggesting a method to kill a female heroin addict by injecting her with windshield washer fluid. Another tape revealed Pickton allegedly discussing his modus operandi for murdering sex workers, involving handcuffing, strangling, bleeding, and gutting them before feeding their remains to pigs. These tapes provided further damning evidence against Pickton, shedding light on the extent of his depravity and callousness.
