  • Robert Pickton: The Final Chapter [1]
    Jan 19 2026

    A brand new four-part series.


    In 2024, Canada’s most prolific serial killer was murdered in prison in an act of vigilante justice. The final chapter of Robert Pickton may now be closed, but the story is far from over.


    Pickton confessed to murdering 49 women on his pig farm near Vancouver, many of them sex workers and Indigenous women.


    The evidence suggests he did not act alone.


    -----


    Part 1 begins by tracing a disturbing childhood on the Pickton farm where cruelty was normalized, morality was optional and vulnerable people were exploited and intimidated. It also tracks how that culture escalated after Robert and his brother took over the farm, and the many police failures that followed.


    This series revisits the entire case to date, moving past the grotesque caricature of a lone monster in buddy boots, and restores the humanity of the women targeted through personal stories of those who loved them. It examines the culture and systems that failed them for so long, leaving their loved ones with many unanswered questions — and a prevailing sense of injustice.


    This miniseries draws primarily from court records, historical news archives, investigative journalism, personal interviews and the Missing Women Inquiry final report.

    Jan 18 2026

    We're announcing something special for episode 200. Thank you so much for listening!


    Launching January 19, Robert Pickton: The Final Chapter is a completely new series that revisits the case to date.

    In 2024, Canada’s most prolific serial killer was murdered in prison in an act of vigilante justice. Pickton's final chapter may now be closed, but the story is far from over. Pickton confessed to murdering 49 women - many of them sex workers and Indigenous women. The evidence suggests he did not act alone.


    It's been eight years since we first covered this case, and we've gone back to the beginning with a complete re-write, fresh context, a sharper focus and up-to-date information. This four-part series moves past the grotesque caricature of a lone monster in buddy boots, and restores the humanity of the women targeted through personal stories of those who loved them. Why are they left with so many unanswered questions — and a prevailing sense of injustice?


    Proceeds are being donated to the WISH Drop-in Centre Society, supporting street-based sex workers on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside since 1984.
