Robert William Pickton: The Pig Farmer Killer
from Hitched 2 Homicide · host Kris Calvert and Rob Pottorf
For years, women disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside—many of them vulnerable, marginalized, and too often overlooked by the institutions meant to protect them. The investigation would eventually lead police to the Port Coquitlam pig farm owned by Robert William Pickton, where authorities uncovered evidence connected to one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in Canadian history. Pickton was convicted of murdering six women, though investigators believed the true number of victims may have been far higher. As detectives searched the sprawling farm, the case exposed not only the calculated brutality of a predator, but also the devastating consequences of delayed investigations, ignored warnings, and systemic failures surrounding missing Indigenous women and sex workers. This episode examines the crimes of Robert Pickton, the women whose lives were stolen, the long fight by their families to be heard, and the troubling questions that remain about how he was able to continue killing for so long. sources used for this podcast Watch H2H on YouTube Support the show JOIN THE HITCHED 2 HOMICIDE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWS START KRIS CALVERT'S BOOKS TODAY FOR FREE H2H WEBSITE H2H on TWITTER H2H on INSTA Send Kris and Rob a Text or Message Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
