the killer

http://www.geocities.com/quietlyinsane5/robertpi.html hi kill count From The Sun Newspaper 11/04/2002 From CLODAGH HARTLEY in Vancouver A FARMER butchered up to 54 women — then minced their bodies in a woodchipper and fed them to his pigs, shocked police believe. Horrifyingly, many of the hogs were then slaughtered and made into sausages. Cops say bearded misfit Robert “Willy” Pickton, 52, began his campaign of murder almost 20 years ago. They claim the balding, unkempt Canadian preyed on hookers and junkies, luring them to his ramshackle farm in a suburb of Vancouver with promises of help and friendship. Many were targeted at wild, drug-fuelled parties at a club called Piggy’s Palace which bachelor Pickton — known as Farmer Willy — ran in an outhouse on the ten-acre holding. He allegedly made millions by selling off parcels of his land to housing developers, who built suburban estates around the perimeter of the squalid property. But Pickton continued to live in a shabby trailer on the rubbish-strewn pig farm. And investigators have been unable to work out how he squandered so much money. Pickton was arrested on February 5 — on a charge of illegally possessing two firearms. But a search carried out by officers at the time uncovered the first evidence of an appalling killing spree. So far, Pickton has been charged with six murders. But as details of the bloodbath began to emerge, police reopened investigations into another 48 women reported missing or found dead in the Vancouver region since 1983. Cops this week found human remains including teeth at the farm. They have seized a machine like a giant butcher’s mincer — with rotating blades designed to reduce trees to firewood. They also removed a large freezer from the farm which Pickton had used to store chunks of meat. Vancouver cops — who have enlisted a 100-strong taskforce to help with the gruesome probe — said other remains were found in nearby storage lockers. Pickton will face trial in November accused of murdering Andrea Joesbury, 22, Sereena Abotsway, 29, Diane Rock, 34, Heather Bottomley, 28, Jacqueline McDonell, 23, and Mona Wilson. Pickton ... did he kill all these women? Jacqueline vanished in 1999. The others disappeared last year. The teeth found at the farm were Mona’s, police said this week. And cops told Sereena’s foster parents Anna and Bert Draayers that experts had confirmed her body was among the dead. Distraught Anna — who took in Sereena as a four-year-old — said last night: “We don’t know if they have found Sereena’s whole body. “But Bert and I wanted to confirm publicly that the police told us Sereena’s remains have been found so that 53 other families don’t have to wonder if this is their child whose remains the police are talking about.” Murder victim Andrea lived at the decrepit Roosevelt Hotel in downtown Vancouver which investigators discovered was a regular haunt of Pickton. Clients said one of the farmer’s former girlfriends often invited women who used the hotel to parties at Piggy’s Palace. Pickton ran Piggy’s with his younger brother Dave — who has issued a statement denying he knew anything about the alleged murder rampage. Town hall officials shut down the club in December 1998 because of its wild reputation. Council chiefs said thousands of locals had visited Piggy’s — and taken part in hog-roasts. A neighbour who visited it in 1998 claimed she saw hookers being “interviewed” for sexual services. She added: “I only went once and I’d never go again. “It was a very raunchy crowd — lots of cocaine, lots of really, really bad, bad, bad-ass people.” Another neighbour said last night: "Pickton and his brother were strange. They would stage cockfights at all hours and they would have their dump-trucks going at two in the morning. "Most farmers get up at six or seven in the morning and go to work. "But these two would start hanging out at seven or eight in the evening. And both of them don’t wash — you can tell." Yesterday, the farm was swarming with forensic teams in white overalls, masks, gloves and boots. They were digging in huge mounds of soil dotted across his land. All the livestock at the farm has been taken away by officials. One local said: “If the victims were fed to pigs over the years, there is a chance those pigs ended up as meat for human consumption. It is a horrifying thought — but one we have to consider.” As the search continued, a sign on the locked main gate read: “This property is protected by pitbulls with Aids.” Family and friends of the missing women have festooned the fence around the plot with flowers and cards. Many of the grieving relatives were in court on Tuesday when Pickton came up for a further remand in custody. His sparse hair was matted and his hands were grimy as he stood expressionless in a prison room which was linked to the court by video. Angry relatives of his supected victims last night demanded a public inquiry into why police did not act earlier when so many girls had been reported missing in the British Columbian city. Karen Joesbury — mother of murder victim Andrea — said: “I am having a hard time dealing with this. It never should have happened.” Kathleen Hallmark, whose daughter Helen disappeared in 1997, said: “I don’t know if I’ll ever find out what happened to Helen. “But what makes me so sick is that there were too many lives lost. “In 1998 and 1999, police officials just wouldn’t listen to us. “They told me Helen had probably gone to Florida and changed her identity. “There definitely needs to be an investigation into this whole sordid mess. “Why did they feel that these women, our loved ones, were disposable?” And Sandra Gagnon, whose sister Janet disappeared in 1997, said: “We just want answers. We want to get on with our lives and we don’t want it to drag on and drag on. It is frustrating.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
