I think there was an episode of criminal minds that closely resembles this case. Instead of finding drivers licenses, they found shoes.

Mysteriew I must say your signature line is very very true here in this case! They need to chop a few of his fingers and toes off and let him watch the pigs eat them!

It is true of too many cases on here. I find that I have become pretty cynical on here and very suspicious offline because of it.

Yeah there was. It was a rerun recently. There were several differences on it, but enough the same that you could tell where it came from.
 
Vancouver had a third serial killer and police investigating the case of Vancouver's missing women pursued him to his death, an RCMP inspector told the Missing Women Inquiry.


Retired Insp. Don Adam said officers probing the case of the missing women took a second look at other unsolved prostitute murders – and that led them to a suspiciously connected group of killings from the late 1980s, known as the Alley Murders.

For years prostitutes were going missing and LE in Vancouver LE didn't even want to talk about them. Until the families started organizing and some of the advocacy groups joined in and they began putting pressure on the LE. Now the news comes out that they didn't have just the one (very prolific) serial killer, but they had 3???
 
Robert Pickton shook, shuddered and said he was traumatized while describing his claim that a prostitute pulled a knife on him five years before he was arrested for the serial killing of dozens of sex trade workers.

Pickton gives his version of one of the attacks where the woman managed to get away and get help. Badly injured she did die at one point and was revived. Of course she was after his money, he did nothing to her. And of course after her he never took prostitues to his home.

No charges were ever brought because she was a "severe heroin addict" and she was the only witness against him. That happened in 1997. It was 5 more years before LE got the search warrant and found the remains of so many women.

More buck passing, about why it took so long to pursue Pickton.

Video is worth watching. It shows Pickton's interview where he gives his version of the attack.
 
Scared women on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside have put up posters warning that the brother of infamous serial killer Robert "Willie" Pickton may be in the area.

After Pickton's arrest many people thought that the brother had to have known about the killings, many thouht he may have participated. He does have a criminal history of sexual assault. And he was also allegedly associated with the Vancouver prostitutes too.
 
The man who first tipped police about serial killer Robert Pickton attended the Missing Women inquiry for the first time this week.

I remember following this case, and knew that LE had been reluctant to even admit there was a serial killer or even to acknowlege that these women were missing. But I didn't even get a clue about how bad this was.

This guy called crimestoppers twice giving info on Pickton's involvent in the missing prostitutes, told them his name, about his farm, about the trophies, and everything. They didn't even look at Pickton and his arrest didn't come for 4 more years (and several more murders.) Now they are saying that LE had a warrant and searched the home for other reasons several years before the arrest and were aware of his trophies from that search.
 
The task force leader told the Missing Women's Commission of Inquiry Pickton was caught "as soon as possible".

Says critics have benefit of hindsight that officers seeking killer couldn't have

Adam said he knew Pickton was a prime suspect for Vancouver Police, but his superiors had specifically directed him to conduct a "holistic review" that couldn't pick favourites for fear of overlooking other vital evidence. Eventually, his officers realized they had an active killer on their hands.

My my trying to rewrite history isn't he? For years the families were trying to file missing persons report and they were refusing to take them. Because they said there was a chance the women may have just moved on to another area. There was at least one witness who reported the connection and the women's purses. There was at least one police officer who was in the home with a search warrant for something else and saw the women's purses.

The LE was totally even refusing to acknowlege a problem until the families of the missing united and together with some advocacy groups began to put pressure on the LE. After they united and started counting there were something like 70 women missing. It was only after all that that they even formed the task force. Then it took more years.

It was only last month that they even acknowleged that they had a third serial killer operating during that time. He can try to rewrite all the history he wants. But LE dropped the ball on this one big time. I don't know about the task force specifically, but LE as a whole ignored the situation and refused to investigate the situation until over 70 women were missing, and even then it took the families putting pressure on them to make them investigate.
 
Staff Sgt. Gerard MacNeil is among a handful of Mounties dedicated to finding the person or persons responsible for cutting short the women's lives.

He's convinced a serial killer is still on the loose.

"Certainly from the patterns that we've investigated on many of these offences, we know that there was a serial offender at work and we haven't caught him," said MacNeil. "I can't say whether that person is alive, whether they are in custody for other offences, or whether they have left the province. For whatever reason, they have simply gone dormant."

The women were first pushed into industrial areas of the city's Mount Pleasant district and later north of Hastings, east of Main Street.

She also recalled women worked in clusters, to look out for each other, but police later discouraged clustering, which made things more dangerous and the women more vulnerable.

She said women also became more reluctant to report violence and abuse to police because of police harassment and the women not being taken seriously.

Hamilton recalled she had set up a safe place, Grandma's House, for sex trade workers in the downtown eastside.

She said police shut down Grandma's House, despite former Vancouver police chief Terry Blythe saying he was supportive of Grandma's House.

"Am I next?" de Vries wrote in 1995, three years before she disappeared.

"Is he watching me now? Stalking me like a predator and its prey. Waiting, waiting for some perfect spot, time or my stupid mistake. How does one choose a victim? Good question. If I knew that, I would never get snuffed."

The passage from de Vries's journal was read out from the book Missing Sarah, written by her older sister,

Serial killer Robert Pickton sent a letter to The Canadian Press in response to a request for a jailhouse interview. Here is his letter (spelling and punctuation of the original has been maintained):

Serial Killer Robert Pickton: Prison Officials Keeping Media Away, Pickton Tells Canadian Press To Pose As Lawyer
snip....The bizarre ruse is Pickton's solution to what he describes as a "certain stumbling block" — an apparent restriction that has kept the killer away from reporters since his arrival at Kent Institution, east of Vancouver. He was transferred to Kent after his final appeal for the second-degree murders of six women failed in 2010.
