Ep. 16 - The Butcher of British Columbia: The Willie Pickton Case
Send us a text
“It sits at the end of a gravel road outside Port Coquitlam… a stretch of farmland that looked ordinary from the highway — until the truth clawed its way to the surface.”
In this haunting deep dive, Bria, Zach, and Lyndsay pull back the curtain on one of Canada’s darkest chapters — the case of Robert “Willie” Pickton, the pig farmer who preyed upon Vancouver’s most vulnerable.
From a childhood steeped in cruelty to the horrifying discoveries unearthed on his family farm, this episode explores how silence, neglect, and systemic failure allowed a monster to thrive in plain sight.
The trio also remembers the women whose names deserve to be spoken louder than his ever will — Sarah, Brenda, Mona, Andrea, Georgina, and so many more. Their stories matter.
🎧 Listen now — and step carefully. The veil remembers.
