Robert Pickton Was A Bad Man | Part 2

from Ominous Origins · host Casey Chaplin

Last week we took a short look at Robert Pickton and what he'd done. It was brief, and we didn't cover all the details I wanted to, so this week we spend a little more time on the crimes of Pickton, his trial, and of course, most importantly, his victims. These serial killer episodes are always a bit love hate for me. Sure, like most people I find the topic to be incredibly interesting, but on the other hand, I hate glorifying and giving these "people" any more attention than they've already gotten. One thing that I do find incredibly important is the victims. They should never be forgotten, but they will forever be linked with the person who took their life. So it's a two way street. Nevertheless, this episode does deal with some more of the details concerning Pickton, and what he did, and what the police eventually found after ignoring his crimes for sooooo long. Really, it's disgusting how long they turned a blind eye to what he was doing on that pig farm. Spoiler alert, it involved feeding his victims to his pigs.... among others. Yeah, you'll have to listen to find out more details on that. In the end, Pickton was a despicable person, who, like many others like him, suffered from a pretty crappy upbringing from abusive parents. Of course, that's not an excuse. Pickton had siblings that didn't turn into serial killers, and they had the same upbringing, especially his brother. His sister was sent to live with relatives at a young age. But, it does get one thinking about the whole nature vs. nurture things.  Our sponsor: www.morbidlybeautiful.com Merch: www.redbubble.com/people/HorrorShots Youtube Website: www.horrorshots.com Instagram: ominousoriginspod Twitter: @horrorshotsprod Facebook: Horrorshots Patreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshots
