Robert “Willy” Pickton is a Canadian serial killer and former pig farmer.
On Feb. 6, 2002, police executed a search warrant at the property for reports of illegal firearms, but within hours of officers arriving with a search warrant, the Pickton farm became the site of the largest crime scene search in the country’s history.
Robert Pickton would eventually be charged with 26 murders connected with the disappearances of dozens of women, many of whom were indigenous, from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
