Ep. 50: Part 2 - Robert Pickton's Haunted Past and Vancouver's Neglect

Send us a text

Have you ever felt an eerie fascination with true crime stories? Join us as we navigate through some light-hearted banter about our friends' odd obsessions with true crime and prison documentaries. From there, we plunge into the dark and twisted world of Robert Pickton, one of Canada's most heinous criminals. Warning: this episode isn't for the faint of heart, and we highly recommend not eating while you listen.
We recount the harrowing experience of Stitch, a 31-year-old prostitute who narrowly escaped Pickton’s deadly grasp in 1997, only to see the justice system fail her miserably. Through her chilling story and those of others, we uncover how Pickton preyed on the vulnerable, exploiting their drug dependencies, and manipulated his way out of the law's reach. The narrative of Lynn Ellingson’s coerced silence and the police's uphill battle to find credible witnesses paints a disturbing picture of systemic failures.
Finally, we explore the complexities of Pickton's trial, including the controversial decision to split the charges, and the gruesome details of his crimes, even touching on acts of cannibalism. We share a personal anecdote about an unsettling Italian dinner to emphasize the horror these acts provoke. Wrapping up, we express our heartfelt gratitude to the Wicked Wanderings community, urging you to engage with us, leave reviews, and check out our merch to support our journey.
