14. Piggy's Palace 2: Are serial killers intelligent?
An excavation reveals horrific truths about Robert Pickton.
The bodies of dozens of women are unearthed on a pig farm, many of whom are sex workers and indigenous. Pickton’s defence team argues that he has a low IQ and was used as a pawn.
On this episode of Bad People, presenters Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen discuss how Canadian police failed indigenous women and talk to Professor Stephen Hart who worked with the prosecution in the Pickton case to discover what we can really know about one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers.
This case is broken into two episodes. This is part two. We highly recommend you listen to part one before tuning into this episode.
Warning: This episode contains strong language and references to sexual violence and murder.
Archive credits: This episode includes audio from East Van Production’s documentary, The Pig Farm.
