Robert Pickton: Pig Slop, Parties, and Missing Women

This is a listener requested episode, and it is a WILD one. In the '90s, Vancouver sold itself as progressive, scenic, and safe. Meanwhile, women were disappearing at a rate that should have set the city on fire.This episode dives headfirst into the Robert Pickton pig farm murders and the long stretch of time where everyone who should’ve been paying attention very aggressively did not. We’re talking about a killer who didn’t hide, didn’t rush, and didn’t need to, because the system around him made it painfully clear exactly whose lives were considered disposable.Kat and Holly break down how Pickton’s farm became a revolving door of vulnerable women, biker parties, drugs, and law enforcement indifference. From the chaos of Piggy’s Palace to the methodical horror of what happened once women were isolated, this case isn’t just about one man. It’s about how misogyny, racism, and classism stacked the deck so hard that dozens of women never stood a chance.There’s no clean narrative here. No satisfying justice arc. Just years of ignored warnings, dismissed survivors, and families left screaming into the void while authorities debated whether these women were worth the effort.This isn’t a comfort-listen.It’s a reckoning.All true crime. No chill.Quotes referenced from source material:On the Farm by Stevie CameronVictims Associated With the Robert Pickton Case(Names commonly cited by investigators, journalists, and inquiries.
