Robert Pickton: The Life and Crimes of the Pig Farmer

Podcast: Two Aliens

This episode examines one of Canada’s most disturbing serial murder cases: the life, crimes, and lasting fallout surrounding Robert William Pickton, the pig farmer linked to the deaths of dozens of women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

We explore:

• Pickton’s upbringing, family dynamics, and the isolated world of the Port Coquitlam farm

• The disappearance of vulnerable women and early warning signs missed by authorities

• The grim discoveries made during the farm investigation and forensic excavation

• Pickton’s confession to an undercover officer and the chilling details it revealed

• The 2007 murder trial, convictions, and controversial limits placed on charges

• Systemic failures in policing and the marginalisation of victims

• The public inquiry and how the case reshaped conversations around missing and murdered women in Canada

A harrowing deep dive into neglect, violence, and accountability—revealing how one of the country’s worst serial killers operated in plain sight, and why the lessons of the Pickton case still matter today.
