This Isn't a Story About Robert Pickton
Manage episode 332399419 series 3364183
It started with a tip from a police source: The number of women reported missing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside was much higher than publicly reported. A dogged investigation by a team of journalists at the Vancouver Sun told the stories of these missing mothers, daughters and sisters — and created a sense of urgency to find out what happened to them. With the public demanding action, the police eventually zeroed in on Robert (Willy) Pickton, Canada's most prolific serial killer.
Editors Note: There is a quote in this episode that states first-degree murder is premeditated and second-degree murder is not intentional. In fact, second-degree murder is not premeditated.
