À propos de cet audio
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Stevie Cameron’s investigative tour de force about one of North America's most prolific serial killers—now widely regarded as a true crime classic.
Verteran investigative journalist Stevie Cameron first began following the story of missing women in 1998, when the odd newspaper piece appeared chronicling the disappearances of drug-addicted sex trade workers from Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. It was not until February 2002 that pig farmer Robert William Pickton would be arrested, and 2008 before he was found guilty, on six counts of second-degree murder. These counts were appealed and in 2010, the Supreme Court of Canada rendered its conclusion. The guilty verdict was upheld, and finally this unprecedented tale of true crime could be told.
Covering the case of one of North America's most prolific serial killers gave Stevie Cameron access not only to the story as it unfolded over many years in two British Columbia courthouses, but also to information unknown to the police - and not in the transcripts of their interviews with Pickton - such as from Pickton's long-time best friend, Lisa Yelds, and from several women who survived terrifying encounters with him. Cameron uncovers what was behind law enforcement's refusal to believe that a serial killer was at work.

At 15, Elizabeth Gilpin was an honor student, a state-ranked swimmer, and a rising soccer star, but behind closed doors, her undiagnosed depression was wreaking havoc on her life. Growing angrier by the day, she began skipping practices and drinking to excess. At a loss, her parents turned to an educational consultant who suggested Elizabeth be enrolled in a behavioral modification program. That recommendation would change her life forever.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 217
As news broke of a killer rampaging across the tiny community of Portapique, Nova Scotia, late on April 18, 2020, details were oddly hard to come by. Who was the killer? Why was he not apprehended? What were police doing? How many were dead? And why was the gunman still on the loose the next morning and killing again? The RCMP was largely silent then, and continued to obscure the actions of denturist Gabriel Wortman after an officer shot and killed him at a gas station during a chance encounter.

Ann Rule was working on the biggest story of her career, tracking the trail of victims left by a brutal serial killer. Little did this future best-selling author know that the savage slayer she was hunting was the young man she counted among her closest friends. Everyone's picture of a natural winner, Ted Bundy was a bright, charming, and handsome man with a promising future as an attorney. But on January 24, 1989 Bundy was executed for the murders of three young women - and had confessed to taking the lives of at least thirty-five more women from coast to coast.

Timea Nagy was 20 years old when she answered a newspaper ad in Budapest, Hungary, calling for young women to work as babysitters and housekeepers in Canada. Hired by what seemed like a legitimate recruitment agency, Timea left her home believing she would earn good money to send back to her family. What she didn't know was that she'd been lured by a ring of international human traffickers - and her life would never again be the same.

Incredibly thorough and respectful
Cameron doesn't skip any detail on this case and still makes it easy to understand for a layman. The victims are all given dedicated parts to share their stories of before they came to the downtown eastside and were victims of Pickton, and clearly points out the patterns of bad and good what these women shared in their lives.
I'm a Vancouver resident and this book taught me a lot of history of my city that I wasn't fully aware of, and the organizations that help women and addicts that are still around today. The criticism of the police shown in this book about the investigation still feels very relevant to the VPD of today, and learning the history of this has opened a new perspective for me.
Overall, I really appreciated that this book wasn't only about a serial killer, but also the women who were loved and lost, politics of Vancouver and the fraser valley, the struggles of the homeless and addicted, sex workers failing to be seen as human, residential school generational trauma, the limitations of the Canadian court system, and the imbalance of wealth.
Excellent work.

Very powerful story. Sad, but very interesting and compelling. Did a good job on focusing on the victims- not just the killer. An especially interesting read for those from BC/Canada

Great writing, really crazy story
The writing for this book is incredible. However, the narrator tries to do this “Canadian” accent when quoting Robert Picton and it is REALLY bad lol. Almost as if they are reading a nighttime story to a child, you don’t need to make up voices for each character that comes along. Otherwise, very good.

What a crazy ride
The story was quite an eye opener living close to where it all happened. The only complaint I have is with the narrator trying to do an indigenous accent. I find that a little insulting.

I remember when this was happening. I’ve always listened to the news and wondered what had happened in this case. Hadn’t realized there was a publication ban. That is on evil dude.
