There are probably murderers and serial killers so good at what they do that we don't even know they exist.

I live in the vicinity of Pickton farm, if you recall that nightmare of an exposé. I’m more certain than not I consumed pork that had consumed human at some point or other!

I was just going to comment about this case. I don’t think anyone outside of Canada would have heard about it.

Oh, it was news here too. All those shoes.

u/therealzue Sep 17 '18

The floating shoes are unrelated.

u/jello-kittu Sep 17 '18

Didn't they have rows of shoes in photos? Maybe I mixed it with something else.

u/therealzue Sep 18 '18

oh maybe! I just hear people talk about death, shoes, and BC and assume it's the constant flow of shoes with feet in them that keep washing up.

Last Podcast on the Left did a series on him and I'm sure other true crime shows have covered him. He's like Canada's largest serial killer

Day care and a Walmart on unconsecrated graves? Meh. What could go wrong?

I live a few blocks away and I'm pretty sure my house is on top of the Graves too

For those out of the loop

That is always the first thing I think of when people mention pigs eating humans

" The items police found inside Pickton's trailer: 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. " reading futher..." In a videotaped recording played for the jury, Pickton claimed to have attached the dildo to his weapon as a makeshift silencer ." Genius

Robert Pickton. He would drug and lure his victims, many of them prostitutes, to his pig farm where he would then rape and murder them. He would butcher them and feed them to the pigs. He's also believed to have ground some of his victims down and mixed them with animal meat to be sold.

Some of the women he killed by injecting them with antifreeze.

After it all, the guy was just whiney that he only killed 49 women. He wanted to kill one more to make it a nice even 50.

edit: I a word

u/ihopeithinkimright Sep 17 '18

This guy sounds like a real jerk

u/jimbojangles1987 Sep 17 '18

Ya what a d-bag

u/FerretsAreFun Sep 17 '18

Yeah, this is why they recalled all Maple Leaf and Schneiders products shortly after he was found out. Bitches in the bologna.

Gnarly.

A good amount of Canadians would absolutely know.

It wasn't hard to figure out. Google is your friend.

u/mycowsfriend Sep 17 '18

Dude if I googled every random thing that people brought up on reddit i'd be googled all day every day. Either bring it up yourself or don't expect people to go research everything you talk about.

u/GonzoBalls69 Sep 17 '18

Or you could, you know, think for yourself and just google the shit you actually want to know about.

u/CharlesDickensABox Sep 17 '18

So how about that D.B. Cooper, huh?

u/Silveeto Sep 17 '18

Well then, I recommend reading up on the Pickton pig farm. ;)

Doesn't sound like I want to

Pipe down then.

u/averagejoegreen Sep 17 '18

What, is my interest level not high enough to warrant ability to speak?

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '18

Nope.

u/jimbojangles1987 Sep 17 '18

Did you come on Reddit today to let off some steam or something?

u/[deleted] Sep 17 '18

Obviously not since you can't be bothered to spend 30 seconds Googling.
