Robert Pickton

Robert William Pickton (October 24, 1949 – May 31, 2024), also known as the Pig Farmer Killer or the Butcher, was a Canadian pig farmer and serial killer. He is believed to have murdered at least 26 women, many of them prostitutes from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside; he would confess to forty-nine murders to an undercover RCMP officer.^[1][2][3] In 2007, he was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years—the longest possible sentence for second-degree murder under Canadian law at the time.^[4][5]

In 2010, the Crown attorney officially stayed the remaining 20 murder charges, allowing previously unrevealed information to be made available to the public, including that Pickton previously had a 1997 attempted murder charge dropped.^[6] Crown prosecutors reasoned that staying the additional charges made the most sense, since Pickton was already serving the maximum sentence allowable.^[6]

The discovery of Pickton's crimes sparked widespread outrage and forced the Canadian government to acknowledge the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women,^[7] with the British Columbia provincial government forming the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry to examine the role of the police in the matter.^[8] Pickton died in 2024 after being attacked in prison by another inmate.^[9][10]

Early life and criminal history

Robert William Pickton was born on October 24, 1949,^[11] to Leonard Francis Pickton (1896–1978) and Louise Helene Arnal (1912–1979), who were both pig farmers in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, 27 kilometres (17 miles) east of Vancouver. Pickton's older sister, Linda Louise Wright, was sent off to live with relatives in Vancouver when their parents decided that the family pig farm would be an inappropriate setting to raise a young girl.

From an early age, Robert and his younger brother, David Francis Pickton, worked at the family's farm at 953 Dominion Avenue. Pickton was strongly attached to his mother, but rarely interacted with his abusive father.^[12] Pickton's mother was very demanding, forcing her sons to work long hours raising the farm's livestock.^[13] His mother prioritized the pigs over her sons' personal hygiene, often sending them to school in unwashed dirty clothes, reeking of manure and earning both the nickname "stinky piggy." Pickton struggled in school, being put in a special education class after failing grade two.^[14] When he was twelve years old, Pickton began raising a calf which became his beloved pet. After two weeks, after not finding the calf after school, Pickton was told to check the barn and was distraught to find it had been slaughtered.^[15]

After dropping out of school in 1963, Pickton began working as a meat cutter. He continued to do so for nearly seven years before leaving to work full-time at his family's farm.^[16] After the deaths of their parents in the late 1970s, the Pickton siblings inherited the farm and proceeded to sell parts of the property to Lower Mainland developers for C$5.16 million.^[17]

On March 23, 1997, Pickton was charged with the attempted murder of sex worker Wendy Lynn Eistetter, whom he had stabbed four times during an altercation at his farm. Eistetter told police that Pickton had handcuffed her and inflicted several lacerations upon her body, after which she escaped, disarmed Pickton and stabbed him with his own weapon.^[18] Pickton sought treatment at Eagle Ridge Hospital, while Eistetter recovered at a nearby emergency room. Pickton was eventually released on C$2,000 bond. The attempted murder charge against Pickton was stayed on January 27, 1998, when prosecutors determined that Eistetter, who had drug issues, was too unstable for her testimony to help secure a conviction.

Pickton hosted parties at an ad hoc nightclub inside a converted slaughterhouse at the farm, called Piggy's Palace. Events at the venue attracted up to 2,000 people, including prominent political and business figures as well as members of the Hells Angels outlaw motorcycle club.^[17] Pickton and his brother were eventually sued by Port Coquitlam officials for violating zoning ordinances—neglecting the agriculture for which it had been zoned and having "altered a large farm building on the land for the purpose of holding dances, concerts and other recreations."^[18] The Picktons registered a non-profit charity, the Piggy Palace Good Times Society, with the Canadian government in 1996, claiming to "organize, co-ordinate, manage and operate special events, functions, dances, shows and exhibitions on behalf of service organizations, sports organizations and other worthy groups."^[18] After flouting legal pressure and holding a New Year's Eve party, the brothers were faced with an injunction banning future gatherings. The charity's non-profit status was removed the following year after failing to produce financial statements; the charity was subsequently disbanded.^[18]

During this period, multiple disappearances of women in the Lower Mainland, most notably from the impoverished Downtown Eastside area of Vancouver, led to media speculation that a serial killer was active in the region.^[17] An employee of Pickton found several purses belonging to missing women from the Downtown Eastside and reported him to police.^[17] Police conducted three searches of the farm, but found no evidence.^[19] In June 1999, police received a tip that Pickton had a freezer full of human flesh in his farmhouse; this information was ignored.^[20]

Discovery and investigation

On February 6, 2002, police executed a search warrant for illegal firearms at the Pickton property. Both Pickton brothers were arrested and police obtained a second warrant using what they had seen on the property to search the farm as part of the BC Missing Women Investigation.^[21][22] Personal items belonging to missing women were found at the farm, which was sealed off by members of the joint RCMP–Vancouver Police Department task force. The following day, Pickton was charged with weapons offences. Both Picktons were later released and Robert was kept under police surveillance.^[23]

On February 22, 2002, Robert Pickton was arrested again and charged with two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of Sereena Abotsway and Mona Wilson.^[24] On April 2, three more charges were added for the murders of Jacqueline McDonell, Dianne Rock, and Heather Bottomley. A sixth for the murder of Andrea Joesbury was laid on April 9, followed shortly by a seventh for Brenda Wolfe.^[24] On September 20, four more were added for Georgina Papin, Patricia Johnson, Helen Hallmark, and Jennifer Furminger. Another four for Heather Chinnock, Tanya Holyk, Sherry Irving, and Inga Hall were laid on October 3.^[24] On May 26, 2005, 12 more came for Cara Ellis, Andrea Borhaven, Debra Lynne Jones, Marnie Frey, Tiffany Drew, Kerry Koski, Sarah de Vries, Cynthia Feliks, Angela Jardine, Wendy Crawford, Diana Melnick, and Jane Doe, bringing the total to 27.^[24]

Excavations continued at the farm through November 2003; the cost of the investigation is estimated to have been C$70 million by the end of 2003, according to the provincial government.^[25] The property was fenced off under lien by the Crown in Right of British Columbia and remained so as of 2023.^[26][27][28] In the meantime, all the buildings on the property, except a small barn, had been demolished. Forensic analysis proved difficult because the bodies may have been left to decompose, or be eaten by insects and pigs on the farm.

During the early days of the excavations, forensic anthropologists brought in heavy equipment, including two 50-foot (15-metre) flat conveyor belts and soil sifters to find traces of human remains. On March 10, 2004, the government revealed that Pickton may have ground up human flesh and mixed it with pork that he sold to the public; the province's health authority later issued a warning.^[29][30][31] Another claim was made that he fed the bodies directly to his pigs.^[32] In 2003, a preliminary hearing was held and the clothes and rubber boots that Pickton had been wearing during the Eistetter assault were seized by police from an RCMP storage locker. In 2004, lab testing showed that the DNA of two women (Borhaven and Ellis) was on the items.^[33][34][35]

Trial

Pickton's trial began on January 30, 2006, in New Westminster.^[36] Pickton pleaded not guilty to the 27 charges of first-degree murder in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The voir dire phase of the trial took most of the year to determine what evidence might be admitted before the jury. Reporters were not allowed to disclose any of the material presented in the arguments. On March 17, one of the counts was rejected by Justice James Williams for lack of evidence.^[37] On August 9, Justice Williams severed the charges, splitting them into one group of six counts and another of twenty.^[38]

The trial proceeded on the group of six counts. The remaining 20 were stayed on August 4, 2010.^[6][39][40] Because of the publication ban, full details of the decision were not made publicly available, but Justice Williams explained that trying all 26 charges at once would put an unreasonable burden on the jury as the trial could have lasted up to two years; it would also have increased the possibility of mistrial.^[41]

The initial date for the jury trial on the first six counts was January 8, 2007, but it was postponed to January 22.^[42][43] On that date, Pickton faced first-degree murder charges in the deaths of Frey, Abotsway, Papin, Joesbury, Wolfe, and Wilson. The media ban was eventually lifted, and the details of what was found during the investigation were publicly released:^[44][45][46]

• During Pickton's trial, lab staff testified that about eighty unidentified DNA profiles, roughly half male and half female, have been detected on evidence.^[47]
• A loaded .22 revolver with a dildo over the barrel and one round fired, boxes of .357 Magnum handgun ammunition, night-vision goggles, two pairs of faux fur-lined handcuffs, a syringe with three millilitres of blue liquid inside, and "Spanish fly" aphrodisiac were found inside Pickton's trailer. In a videotaped recording played for the jury, Pickton claimed to have attached the dildo to his weapon as a makeshift silencer; this explanation was impractical at best, as revolvers are near-impossible to silence in this manner.^[48]
• A videotape of Pickton's friend Scott Chubb saying Pickton had told him a good way to kill a female heroin addict was to inject her with windshield washer fluid. A second tape was played for Pickton, in which an associate named Andrew Bellwood said Pickton mentioned killing sex workers by handcuffing and strangling them, then bleeding and gutting them before feeding them to pigs.
• Photos of the contents of a garbage can found in Pickton's slaughterhouse, which held some remains of victim Mona Wilson.^[49]

On December 9, 2007, the jury found Pickton not guilty on six counts of first-degree murder, but he was found guilty on six counts of second-degree murder.^[50] On December 11, 2007, after reading eighteen victim impact statements, British Columbia Supreme Court Judge Justice James Williams sentenced Pickton to life with no possibility of parole for 25 years—the maximum punishment for second-degree murder—and equal to the sentence which would have been imposed for a first-degree murder conviction, stating: "Mr. Pickton's conduct was murderous and repeatedly so. I cannot know the details but I know this: What happened to them was senseless and despicable."^[51]

Victims

On December 9, 2007, Pickton was convicted of second-degree murder in the deaths of six women:

• Count Sixteen: Marnie Lee Anne Frey,^[55] 24, reported missing on December 29, 1997

Pickton also stood accused of first-degree murder in the deaths of 21 other women. These charges were stayed on August 4, 2010:^[6]

• Count Three: Jacquelene Michelle McDonell,^[56] 22, reported missing on January 16, 1999

Pickton was implicated in the deaths of but not charged with the murders of four women:

• Mary Ann Clark,^[73] 25, disappeared in August 1991.
• Stephanie Lane ^[74] 20, disappeared January 1997; her partial remains were found but misplaced 2003 to 2010
• Dawn Teresa Crey,^[75] 42, last seen in December 2000^[76][77]
• Yvonne Marie Boen,^[78] 33, reported missing on March 16, 2001

After Pickton was arrested,^[79] witness Lynn Ellingsen came forward to authorities claiming to have seen Pickton skinning a woman hanging from a meat hook years earlier and claimed she had not told anyone about it out of fear of losing her life.^[80] However, Ellingsen admitted she had blackmailed Pickton about the incident on more than one occasion.^[81]

The victims' children filed a civil lawsuit in May 2013 against the Vancouver Police Department, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Crown for failing to protect the victims.^[82] They reached a settlement in March 2014, and each child was compensated C$50,000 (equivalent to C$62,740 in 2023), without admission of liability.^[83]

British Columbia Court of Appeal

Crown appeal

On January 7, 2008, the Attorney General filed an appeal in the British Columbia Court of Appeal, against Pickton's acquittals on the first-degree murder charges.^[84] The grounds of appeal related to a number of evidentiary rulings made by the trial judge, certain aspects of the trial judge's jury instructions, and the ruling to sever the six charges Pickton was tried on from the remaining twenty.^[85][86][87] Although Pickton had been acquitted on the first-degree murder charges, he was convicted of second-degree murder and received the same sentence as he would have on first-degree murder convictions. The relatives of the victims expressed concern that the convictions would be jeopardized if the Crown argued that the trial judge had made errors. Opposition critic Leonard Krog criticized the Attorney-General for not having briefed the victims' families in advance.^[88]

Wally Oppal apologized to the victims' families for not informing them of the appeal before it was announced to the general public.^[88][89] Oppal also said that the appeal was filed largely for "strategic" reasons, in anticipation of an appeal by the defence.^[90] Under the applicable rules of court,^[91] the time period for the Crown to appeal expired thirty days after December 9, when the verdicts were rendered, while the time period for the defence to appeal expired thirty days after December 11, when Pickton was sentenced.^[88]

Defence appeal

On January 9, 2008, lawyers for Pickton filed a notice of appeal in the British Columbia Court of Appeal, seeking a new trial on six counts of second-degree murder.^[92][93][94] The notice of appeal enumerated various areas in which the defence alleged that the trial judge erred: the main charge to the jury, the response to the jurors' questions, amending the jury charge, similar fact evidence, and Pickton's statements to the police.^[95]

Decisions

The British Columbia Court of Appeal issued its decisions on June 25, 2009, including some banned from publication.^[96][97][98] It dismissed the defence appeal by a 2:1 majority.^[99] Due to a dissent on a point of law, Pickton was entitled to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, without first seeking leave to appeal.^[100] His notice of appeal was filed in the Supreme Court of Canada on August 24, 2009.^[101] The Court of Appeal allowed the Crown appeal, finding that the trial judge erred in excluding some evidence and in severing six counts from the rest. The order resulting from this severance was stayed, so that the conviction on the six counts of second degree murder was not set aside.^[102]

Supreme Court appeal

On June 26, 2009, Pickton's lawyers confirmed that they would exercise his right to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. The appeal was based on the dissent in the British Columbia Court of Appeal.^[103] While Pickton had an automatic right to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada based on the legal issues on which Justice Donald had dissented, Pickton's lawyers applied to the Supreme Court of Canada for leave to appeal on other issues as well. On November 26, 2009, the Supreme Court of Canada granted this application for leave to appeal. The effect of this was to broaden the scope of Pickton's appeal, allowing him to raise arguments that had been rejected unanimously in the British Columbia Court of Appeal.^{[104][105][106]} On July 30, 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its decision dismissing Pickton's appeal and affirming his convictions.^[107] The argument that Pickton should be granted a new trial was unanimously rejected by the Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada.^[108]

Although unanimous in its result, the Supreme Court split six to three in its legal analysis of the case. The issue was whether the trial judge made a legal error in his instructions to the jury, and in particular in his "re-instruction" responding to the jury's question about Pickton's liability if he was not the only person involved. Writing for the majority, Madam Justice Charron found that "the trial judge's response to the question posed by the jury did not adversely impact on the fairness of the trial". She further found that the trial judge's overall instructions with respect to other suspects "compendiously captured the alternative routes to liability that were realistically in issue in this trial. The jury was also correctly instructed that it could convict Mr. Pickton if the Crown proved this level of participation coupled with the requisite intent."^[109] Justice Louis LeBel, writing for the minority, found that the jury was not properly informed "of the legal principles which would have allowed them as triers of fact to consider evidence of Mr. Pickton's aid and encouragement to an unknown shooter, as an alternative means of imposing liability for the murders".^[110][109]

Judicial aftermath

Discontinuance of prosecution

British Columbia Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie announced that prosecution of the 20 other murder charges would likely be discontinued: "In reaching this position, the branch has taken into account the fact that any additional convictions could not result in any increase to the sentence that Mr. Pickton has already received."^[111] Families of the victims had varied reactions to this announcement. Some were disappointed that Pickton would never be convicted of the twenty other murders, while others were relieved that the gruesome details of the murders would not be aired in court.^[112]

Management review of investigation

In 2010, the Vancouver Police Department issued a statement that an "exhaustive management review of the Missing Women Investigation" had been conducted, and the Vancouver Police Department would make the Review available to the public once the criminal matters are concluded and the publication bans are removed. In addition, the Vancouver Police Department disclosed that for several years it has "communicated privately to the Provincial Government that it believed a Public Inquiry would be necessary for an impartial examination of why it took so long for Robert Pickton to be arrested".^[113][114] In August 2010, the publication ban imposed during Pickton's trial in 2006 was lifted.^[20] The journalist Jerry Langton wrote: "The now-public details of the investigation and trial appalled many. The unwillingness of the police to pursue Pickton, despite overwhelming evidence, smacked hard of racism, sexism, and bias against drug addicts and sex workers. Many felt that the police treated crimes against aboriginals, drug addicts, sex workers and, in particular women, as less important than they should have".^[20] The Pickton case seriously damaged the image of the police forces of the Lower Mainland.^[20]

Apology by police department

At a press conference, Deputy Chief Constable Doug LePard of the Vancouver Police Department apologized to the victims' families: "I wish from the bottom of my heart that we would have caught him sooner. I wish that, the several agencies involved, that we could have done better in so many ways. I wish that all the mistakes that were made, we could undo. And I wish that more lives would have been saved. So on my behalf and behalf of the Vancouver Police Department and all the men and women that worked on this investigation, I would say to the families how sorry we all are for your losses and because we did not catch this monster sooner."^[115]

Inquiry

After Pickton lost his final appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada, the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry chaired by Wally Oppal was called to examine the role of the Vancouver police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the disappearances and murders of women in the Downtown Eastside. Families of the missing and murdered women have been calling for public hearings since before Pickton was arrested and eventually convicted of six murders.^[116] The commission's final report submission to the Attorney General was dated November 19, 2012, and was released to the public on December 17.^[117] During the inquiry, lawyers for some of the victims' families sought to have an unpublished 289-page manuscript authored by former police investigator Lorimer Shenher entered as evidence and made entirely public. Several passages were read into the inquiry's record but Commissioner Oppal declined to publicize the entire manuscript.^[118] As an extension of The Missing Women Commission of Inquiry, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls was formed by the Government of Canada in September 2016.^[119]

Transfer to penitentiary

During a court hearing on August 4, 2010, Judge Williams stated that Pickton should be committed to a federal penitentiary; up to that point he had been held at a provincial pretrial institution.^[112] In June 2018, he was transferred from Kent Institution in British Columbia to Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec.^[120]

Parole eligibility

In February 2024, Pickton became eligible to apply for day parole. No Parole Board of Canada hearing was scheduled.^[121]

Death

On May 19, 2024, Pickton was attacked by another prisoner at the Port-Cartier Institution in Quebec. The prisoner, Martin Charest, described as having a history of assaulting other prisoners, took a broomstick, broke the handle, and shoved it into Pickton's face.^[122] Correctional officers intervened, handcuffed Charest, and took him to the Structured Intervention Unit.^[122] Pickton was airlifted to a hospital and put on life support.^{[123][124][125]} He died at a hospital in Quebec City from complications of the attack on May 31.^{[126][10][127]} In July 2025, Charest was charged with first-degree murder.^[128] He pleaded guilty, saying he did it for Pickton's victims.^[129]

Media and merchandise

A major plotline in the Canadian crime drama Da Vinci's Inquest deals with a spate of missing women thought to be victims of a prolific serial killer hunting in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. Pickton is not directly referred to by name, but starting in the show's fifth season characters and advertisements made reference to "the pig farm" in relation to the case.^[130]

In August 2006, Thomas Loudamy, a 27-year-old Fremont, California, resident, claimed that he had received three letters from Pickton in response to letters Loudamy sent under an assumed identity.^[131][132] Loudamy, an aspiring journalist, claimed that his motivation in releasing the letters was to help the public gain insights into Pickton.^[133]

Killer Pickton is a 2005 American horror film loosely based on Pickton's killings. In 2015, a film with the working title of Full Flood began production in Vancouver by CBC-TV. Based on Stevie Cameron's book On The Farm, it was to use the life experiences of Pickton's victims for a fictional story about women in the Downtown Eastside who became victims of a serial killer.^[134] Pickton was portrayed by Ben Cotton in the film. In 2016, the film was released under the title Unclaimed, and also as On the Farm in certain markets.^[135]

In 2009, the Criminal Minds season 4 two-part finale, "To Hell ... And Back", based the storyline on Pickton's case. Though names and locations were changed (Pickton's character was named Mason Turner, and acts take place in Ontario instead of British Columbia), many key details were used, including two brothers living on a run-down family pig farm who would abduct sex workers and homeless women and bringing them back to the farm before feeding the remains to the pigs.^[136]

In 2011, Vancouver artist Pamela Masik planned to mount an art exhibition, The Forgotten, featuring portraits of some of Pickton's victims, at the University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology, which declined to host it after some controversy.^[137] The incident was profiled by Damon Vignale in the 2013 documentary film The Exhibition.^[138]

In 2011, a documentary was released, titled The Pig Farm, which outlined the flawed investigative work by the RCMP and the Vancouver Police Service. Details emerged about the impossibly long list of suspects, departmental in-fighting and lack of resources.

In 2016, a purported autobiography, Pickton: In his Own Words, was released. Its publication and marketing initiated controversy, critical petitions, and government action to stop him from profiting from the work.^[139][140] Pig Killer, a biopic written and directed by Chad Ferrin, starring Jake Busey as Pickton, was released in select theatres on November 17, 2023.

In 2024, the comedy troupe Danger Cats was selling T-shirts online with a caricature of Pickton headlined with "Pickton Farms". Under the caricature was the tagline "Over 50 flavors of hookery smoked bacon". The shirt caused controversy. The British Columbia premier David Eby expressed his outrage: "All I can say is how deeply disappointed I am by the idea that the lives of vulnerable women could be trivialized like this." Upcoming shows of Danger Cats were cancelled and the shirt was removed from their online store.^[141]

In 2025, the TV series Dexter: Resurrection referenced Pickton as "The Pig Farmer" in regard to the character Leon Prater, who hosted a group of, and parties with, serial killers. It was said Pickton did similar, but is just a twisting of the different events held at Pickton's farm.
