WARNING!: Description below may be disturbing to some readers.
This view shows a bike path cutting through a fenced open area in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The land was formerly owned by the Pickton family to which Robert Pickton was a pig farmer & would later become known as one of the most prolific serial killers in Canadian history. Much of the farm structures have since been demolished.
The break came on February 5, 2002, when the RCMP in Port Coquitlam got informant information that something crazy was going on at the Pickton pig farm. They executed a search warrant and found items linked to several missing women.
A CSI team spent months processing pig manure & recovered DNA of 29 victims who were positively identified. DNA from an additional 13 victims have also been recovered leaving seven victims unaccounted for.
Pickton's was convicted in December 2007 of six counts of second-degree murder w/ life imprisonment, though he was eligible for parole after 25 years.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore."It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, VancouverText by Steve Smith.
