This week we tell the tale of Robert Pickton, Canada’s most infamous serial killer.  Robert Pickton was a pig farmer turned serial killer who hit it big with the sale of a large portion of the family farm.  Instead of using his riches for good, he hosted drug and alcohol fueled parties on his disgusting farm at a place called “The Piggie Palace.”  Around this same time women started to disappear from a seedy area of Vancouver, known as “The Low Track.”  It took the police longer than it should have to learn that they had a problem, a big one.  Some mysteries remain with this case.  No one is certain how many people Pickton killed.  It also would seem like he must have had some help along the way.  Who else is responsible?
