In a belated effort at damage control the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) ‘officially’ released a 408-page report entitled “Missing Women Investigation Review” on Friday, August 20, 2010 that was in fact previously leaked to the media. The report documents the inexplicable amount of failures of the VPD and RCMP investigations into the missing and murdered women of the downtown Eastside and the outright failure of the police forces’ to recognize compelling evidence against the main suspect in the case nearly two years before the arrest and eventual conviction of serial killer Robert Pickton resulting in the senseless deaths of additional women. Vancouver Police Deputy Chief Constable Doug LePard spent years compiling the report and his findings will result in numerous political ramifications. Battered Women’s Support Services has made a direct appeal to the Province of British Columbia for a public inquiry.
Please can you tell me if the police know of other killers who may have operated at the same time as Willy Pickton did? Are any of the other serial killers that police suspect, dead?
During the period 1984 to 1998, a suspected serial killer was operating in various counties of Washington State, (a neighbouring jurisdiction to British Columbia).
There were SIXTY suspected women victims in that case. GARY RIDGEWAY was, eventually, convicted in the killings of 48 of the 60.
I know that Kings County (Washington) and FBI Investigators visited Vancouver and discussed possible links, (with relevant authorities), to Vancouver Missing women during that time period.
Profiles of many of the Missing Oregon/Washington/Vancouver area women were strikingly similar…most frequently Drug addicted women, who worked as prostitutes.
Profiler KIM ROSSMO, ( former VPD now a U.S. University Professor), believed that a serial killer was at work, in the Vancouver area because of a suspicious, noted “cluster” of 27 missing women in 1995.
I lived and worked in both the Western United States and the Vancouver Lower Mainland during 1980 to mid 1996.
(I now live and work in the U.K. and am married to a retired R.C.M.P. Officer.)
HI Pat
I think I found your blog . just checking if you will get this
i googled the blog and got the article about serial
killings and you said that you are living with a retired
RCMP.
cheers
fil
Are there parallel serial killers also in the uk such as the one you
wrote about?
“One of the other serial killers who acted with Robert Pickton is now dead”, reports RCMP Missing Women’s Task Force investigating the murders committed in BC Missing Women’s case, “and there are likely three serial killers responsible”. This is quote from a statement made by RMCP to the press in public on August 7, 2010.
I have tried to get police to release the name of the dead serial killer, but strangely, in light of all the media coverage and confessions, by Deputy Chief Lepard, of VPD failures regarding the Pickton case in the past, no one will cough up that name.
Is there ever going to be improvements to public safety that Deputy Lepard mentioned? Shouldn’t he be telling us who that other dead serial killer is, whether or not he acted in unison with Pickton? We do have a right to know that name; I asked my MP.
I have written a statement of the missing women’s situation since I became involved in a missing women’s case and learned of what is behind all the murders. I would like to make my blog available to the public now and hopefully it shine some light on the situation and the murders will stop as people begin to protest what is happening .
I hope Robert Pickton is eventually convicted.
I hope an independent investigation nails all the judges, RCMP, politicians, etc. involved in this- they are always involved in these crimes…these are the crimes of the elite, & connected.
They’re not telling the name of the dead serial killer because he is either a. an RCMP b. professional politician or other protected professional or c. military higher -up or judge
