Robert “Willy” Pickton is one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers. His killing spree went uninterrupted for years, starting in the early 1990s until his arrest in 2002.
Living on a dirty pig farm all his life, Willy was known for his stench, his money, and his frequent company with sex workers. Despite rumours and eyewitness accounts, police could not connect Willy to the dozens of women going missing from Vancouver’s downtown east side. It took them years to admit a serial killer was roaming the streets of downtown Vancouver, allowing for Willy's reign of terror to endure for over a decade.
