In the 90's Canada had many missing women from the Vancouver area at am alarming rate. Little did they know that Canada's most prolific serial killer Robert "Willie" Pickton and his pig farm was the reason that they were missing.

Apologies for the delay in this episode. Technical difficulties made recording and editing this episode a NIGHTMARE. Forgive my old PC. She has served me well, but she has been officially retired. As such, we do not anticipate further issues like we had. Apologies again.

In the 70s and 80s, Anchorage, Alaska was a boomtown for the oil pipeline. With that opportunity, came the oldest profession in recorded history; prostitution. Alaska is also known for its hunting and when these worlds collide, you end with Alaska's most prolific serial killer. This month, we will look at the real life player of the Most Dangerous Game, Robert Hansen; also known as, "The Butcher Baker."

Japan is known for many things, but murder usually doesn't rank high on the well known list. Yet, in the 80's you could have been killed for simply getting something to drink out of a vending machine. As suddenly as the murders began, they stopped. Someone or multiple someones, were poisoning drinks in vending machines who, to this day, are still unknown.
