19 JUN 2024 ·  Welcome, my heathens welcome. Today, we're diving into the murky depths of one of Canada’s most infamous cases. But before we unmask the monster, you know we need to set the scene. So, close your eyes, but not if you’re driving, but picture it: Vancouver, British Columbia, late 1990s to early 2000s.

This was the infamous Pickton property, a sprawling 17-acre lot that seemed like any other – until you dug a little deeper. Literally.
