Between 1995 and 2001, Pickton is believed to have murdered at least 26 women, he was convicted of 6, 20 murder charges were stayed and he sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years.
Pickton confessed to 49 murders.
Robert Pickton was born on October 24, 1949 to Leonard Francis Pickton (1896–1977) and Louise Helene Arnal (1912–1979), a family of pig farmers in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, 27 kilometres (17 miles) east of Vancouver. Pickton's older sister, Linda Louise Wright, was sent off to live with relatives in Vancouver as their parents thought that the family pig farm would be an inappropriate setting to raise a young girl. Robert and his younger brother, David Francis Pickton, began working at the farm at an early age and their mother was very demanding, prioritizing the pigs over the brothers' personal hygiene, and forcing them to work long hours raising the farm's livestock. Lack of hygiene earned Pickton the nickname of "Stinky Piggy" at school.
Louise is now suing the police for damages to the pig farm through the police investigations.
The Pickton farm was raided on warrants for firearms with the police finding items of interest to the BC Missing Persons Unit and they brought in the excavators.
On March 10, 2004, the government revealed that Pickton may have ground up human flesh and mixed it with pork that he sold to the public; the province's health authority later issued a warning.
Now he's dead.
