From the late 1970's to the turn of the new century, women consistently went missing in the Downtown East Side area of Vancouver, or DTES. Known as Vancouver's Skid Row, DTES boasts North America's highest rates of STDs, and sex workers as young as eleven years old. But those aren't the only atrocities to haunt the area. Wild haired, foul smelling Robert "Willy" Pickton came with a troubled past and a desire for murder. As these women were hunted over the years, a group of the sex workers gathered to make the "bad date book" - a tool to warn others of unsavory Johns. But Willy had other plans. Armed with farm equipment, an industrial sized meat grinder, and predatory charm over these vulnerable women, Willy fulfilled his fantasies. Join Andrea Up Late as she talks childhood trauma, Hell's Angels, snuff films, and the insanity of the marginalized state of indigenous women. Oh, by the way...the meat processed at the farm was sold to the townspeople. But what were they eating?
