In Part 1 we delve into the twisted roots of Robert "Willie" Pikton's early life. Raised on a chaotic family farm by harsh and neglectful parents, Willie's childhood was marred by traumatic events, like hiding in pig carcasses and losing his beloved pet calf. We take a closer look at his aversion to water, educational struggles, and the sinister influence of living near a mental asylum, setting the stage for understanding his later actions.
Finally, we uncover the disturbing elements of Willie's life, from his complex relationship with his controlling mother to his frugal and unconventional farming practices. We discuss his connections with the Hells Angels and the eerie environment he lived in, hinting at the darker aspects of his life. We also examine the systemic issues in Vancouver, shedding light on the societal neglect and inadequate police response that allowed such horrific crimes against women to persist. Tune in as we unravel the chilling truths behind these unsettling stories.
