At least 65 women disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside between 1978 and 2001. A man known as Willie Pickton owned and operated a pig farm in nearby Port Coquitlam during this time. He was eventually charged with the murder of 26 women however he claimed the number was closer to 50. This monster was convinced on 6 charges and sentenced to life in prison. While in prison Willie wrote a manuscript that was later sent to a publisher who titled the book “Pickton In his own words”.  Willie’s farm became the largest crime scene Canada has ever seen, and led to the largest serial killer investigation in the history of the country. During this investigation the public became aware of a larger issue that has been plaguing Canada; The issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. A government inquiry later concluded that “blatant failures” by police was a large factor. Including prejudice against sex workers, sex trade, the homeless, and racism against indigenous women led to a massive tragedy.
