relationship. Make a long story short, they were typed, those type of people that always have to outdo. You, you know, you tell a story. There is better than yours and and you know, I cut them out of my life already and then they resurface right around the time. My wife passed away. If you've been following for a little bit, my wife passed away about two years ago and they surface around that time. And I was not in a good headspace, as you can imagine
same behavior, you know, name? Being always out doing your bet. There'd always doing something better and fancier and you and again, I cut them out. I just, you know, had enough their behavior. So when I was given access to truth finder, I looked them up and a very different picture emerged about them.

May be upsetting to some of the listeners due to his dark subject matter, listener. Discretion is advised. Between 1978 and 2001. At least 65, women disappeared, from Vancouver's, downtown Eastside, the disappearances of women, a Vancouver's downtown Eastside began to accelerate the mid-1990s and ended. When Robert Pickton was arrested in February 2002.
After a tip at Picton, had an unregistered gun on his farm police raided it. It's believed the first time he killed was 1991. He became a fully functional serial killer in 1995 and Robert Pickton stepped up.
His Pace to murder almost every six weeks throughout 2001 but he wasn't the only active serial killer, the RCMP task force project even-handed was not only to consider the women missing from the downtown Eastside. But also, the hemlock Valley, murders of three sex trade workers, whose bodies were found on a Logging Road and Agassi BC. As well as a case is an unidentified Jane Doe. Who's half skull was found in 1995 and Mission her half skull in an ankle bones.
Is All That Remains. That tells us that she's ever lived. There's also was a cluster of murders on Vancouver Island and Robert Pickton was just one Of a growing list of monsters who were considered Prime suspects in the disappearances of the Vancouver. Sex trade workers in the years before his arrest. A long list of suspects who have previously sexually assaulted abused or murdered sex workers, a list of 600 and all Michael Stephen Leopold who confessed to his psychiatrist that he planned
to enslave and possibly kill. Prostitutes. He had a dungeon in his basement and was declared a dangerous offender by the BC court, and was given an open-ended prison term. Leopold was sentence in 2002. 11 years in prison, for aggravated assault taken into account, the thirty four months, spent in pre-trial, custody the trial judge found, he was a sexual sadist and likely to reoffend
but did not deem him. him a dangerous offender, because he didn't believe Leopold met the so-called brutality test for example, Leopold n38 had no prior convictions for violence or brutality. The three appeal court judges unanimously overturn, the trial judge ruling and declared Leopold, a dangerous offender and then substituted an intermittent sentence. He will have his first parole hearing after he served seven years required by law, but he
can be detained indefinitely. Leopold attacked a 33-year old sex worker in the industrial area of The downtown Eastside on September 14th. 1996. He later told a Vancouver psychiatrist by his defense lawyer, that the attack was a trial run for a fantasy. Had to enslave and possibly kill
prostitutes. He even made a special dungeon room in his basement with a dead bolt on the door, he told the doctor Leopold's confession to the Dr. Royal Shaughnessy in itself, was a subject of a Supreme Court of Canada challenge in 1999. The doctor went to court to get permission to breach confidentiality to reveal the
details, the high court upheld. A lower Court ruling that O'Shaughnessy could testify about Leopold's true intentions of his Ultimate Fantasy before the crown heard from the psychiatrist. It was agreed to a sentence of
two years. Less a day, Keith Hunter, Jasperson was born on April 6th 1955 in Chilliwack, British Columbia Canada at age 35. He was 6 feet, 7 .5 inches and he weighed 240 pounds, Jasperson began, working toward a goal of joining, the RCMP, but suffered an injury while training. That ended this endeavor. He sought work as an interstate truck driver after relocating to Cheney Washington Jasperson. Soon realized that his job afforded him, the opportunity to
kill without being suspected. He worked as a long-haul truck driver traveling widely across North America, murdering various women in the process. Nicknamed, The Happy Face Killer for The Smiling cartoon signatures on letters. He sent to police Jasperson was jailed for a Washington murder in March, 1995 At one point, he claimed 160 murders describing his female victims, as piles of garbage dumped on the side of
the road. He later recanted those statements convictions and Washington State. Wyoming removed him, permanently from circulation. Once again, there was no links between him and the happy face murderer and the vanishing sex workers of the downtown Eastside. As many urban legends in rumors of sex workers being used in snuff movies and violent homemade. Amateur pornography videotapes, these rumors were violent street, gangs were tar.
Doing women on the downtown Eastside lot of times usually if they occur some kind of drug debt and brute lot of reports of extreme brutality happening to these women when they owe money money to Violent Predator, drug dealers. There was also a rumor of a violent street gang that was
into human trafficking.

Sex worker says that they recognize Ridgeway. Some indications, he was in b.c. McKnight told Seattle, King TV. I can't be too specific because
we don't know for sure. Yet the Vancouver disappearances, which victim wise is very similar to the Seattle cases that began in 1984 about the same time that the green Rivers killing ended. Police said they're investigating 600 potential suspects. 100 are considered high priority, including Ridgeway Gary Leon Ridgeway, became the Green River Killer, who's one of the deadliest convicted serial killers? He claimed to have killed as
many 80 women. Many of them were sex workers in Washington during the 1980s and the 1990s, and 2003, he pled guilty to forty eight murders. The hemlock Valley murders in 1995 three, women were found dead in a remote Bush and British Columbia's Fraser Valley. They were found within two months of each other cause of death was homicide by strangulation. It's believed they were murdered by the same person.
The killer has never been identified or found 30 year old Tracy, a lodged a was found on August 12, D5 she was last seen on August 10th and Vancouver's downtown Eastside at the Waldorf Hotel. Tracy was struggling with crack cocaine. Addiction August 12.

A skeleton was found in North Vancouver, the skeletal remains of a Vancouver missing sex worker was found on Mount Seymour. Mary Lynn gauri who was 30 when she went missing and July. 1995 was likely killed by someone who picked her up. Her remains were found near an area where people used to dump their garbage, a short walk from the road halfway up Seymour Mountain at the time of her. Disappearance The Vancouver Police. Believe that lagari might have been picked up by a serial
killer. Please said that five? Sex workers disappeared in 1995. Three of their bodies were found near Agassi and Mission. Ligardi was identified through dental records. Carrie Gordon 26 was a mother of one when she vanished from the Naima BC. In April 1997, the murder of Kerry Ann Gordon. Barely received any significant or adequate media attention.
Her body was found on the shores of little lillooet lake near Pemberton and the spring of 1998 for those who are not familiar with Vancouver Pemberton would be on the What's called the Sea to Sky Highway. Probably about a 30 to 40 minute. Maybe an hour drive from downtown Vancouver. Three men walking along the shores of little lillooet Lake discovered her remains and March 18th 1998. RCMP reported that carries body has been there for some time. Her body was dumped in the water
and posed at the high water. Mark, during the Spring flooding, the remote spot is related is located about 30 kilometers South of Highway 99 next to a forest who road that leads to the Baptist Smith Indian reserve on the day. That Carrie went missing. Her ex-husband says she was on her way to smoke a joint with a friend before heading back to Nanaimo to pick up her. Welfare check. But police have checked with taxi companies and unable to find any records of Gordon taken a cab Carrie's.
Mother said, the last time she saw her daughter alive was in January. 1997, she'd come home from Christmas and New. Year's before returning to Nanaimo, where she was trying to cut ties. Eyes to drugs in the downtown Eastside. She had a son and she was hoping to regain custody from her him by her act from her ex-husband. She was all over Nanaimo, trying to straighten her life out. She was trying to get her life together. Her family, firmly believes, she was free of drugs and no longer
working the streets. Please have tribe track down the last person to see her alive. Who now lives in Toronto, he told investigators that she went to get Her welfare, check. The check was on the frigerator on one day and then gone the next. So in my opinion, carries death fits into these. Hemlock Valley murders because they all had ties to the downtown Eastside including her. And then they were taken to very remote locations.
So from mission to Agassi to Mount Seymour to Pemberton during the investigation, please developed a long list of possible suspects by reviewing serious sex, assaults of women, especially sex workers. The review LED them to one particular suspect who was identified in 1995 as Ronald. Richard Mick, Carly a roofer from mission.
One of the things that caught us investigators attention was make Carly picked up a prostitute at Vancouver's, Astoria Hotel in July of that year and drove her to the hemlock Valley where she was beaten raped and dumped from his truck just A few kilometers
from where Tracy, Elijah days. Body was found the woman, reported the incident to police and McAuley who had a similar record of violent offenses, was arrested in September 1995, convicted of rape and 1996 declared a dangerous offender and jailed indefinitely during the investigation. Please develop the long list of possible suspects by reviewing
serious sex. Assault of women especially sex workers the review, LED them to one particular suspect who is identified in 1995, Ronald Richard McCauley a roofer from Mission BC. One of the things that caught investigators attention was that Macaulay picked up a sex worker at the Vancouver Astoria Hotel. Well, in July of that year and drove her to the hemlock Valley where she was beaten raped. And then dumped from his truck just a few kilometers from where
Tracy Elijah T's body was later. Found, The woman reported the incident to police and McCauley. Who had a record of similar violence? Offenses, was arrested in. September 1995 convicted of rape in 1996 declared a dangerous offender and jailed indefinitely. He surfaced pretty quick and he looked really really good said Mick Carl. Who was the lead investigator on the Tracy, Allah, Judy and Tammy. Pipe homicides, the things Mick. Carly had done to the victims.
In the rape cases were very similar to what was been done to the murder victims. Met Carl said, he also lived in the area and had a vehicle consistent with the suspects. And he was known to frequent the downtown Eastside and higher sex workers. Hers. In addition McCarley once told a parole hearing that he had been arrested for two rapes and attempted murders.
In the early 1980s, he would have become a serial killer such as Clifford Olson. I thought we had her guy met Carl said, but despite the circumstantial evidence police had, never had enough to lay murder charges against me. Carly the semen discovered at the crime scene in 1995. Had been degraded by bacteria. The police were initially unable
to test it as years. Past technology improved the laboratory eventually use new techniques to retest the sample and police discovered with DNA evidence that it was confirmed that one person was Associated. At least, two of the women prior to their deaths. The finding also A possibility that two men might have been involved in the murders, but unfortunately for police to results, had confirmed investigators had the wrong name on the top of their suspect
list. Ronald Richard McCauley, wasn't there, man. After all, he looked the best. So he pursued him mccarl said and we found out, it wasn't going to be him. We were all disappointed. The DNA results was a Fuckin turn of events for the RCMP because investigators considered McCarley a suspect not only in the lodged a pipe and Yonkers homicide but also in The Disappearance of murder of four other women as well.
Mary Lee Geary Catherine Conan Les, Catherine night and Dorothy Spence all disappeared from the downtown Eastside the same year as the valley murder Hours. Lynn Gary's remain were found two years later in North Vancouver but bodies of gonna land has night and Spence have never been found.
And their names are currently on a list of 45 other women who vanished from the streets over the past two decades, the RCMP did not consider McCarley a suspect and disappearances of women, who vanished after September, 1995 I've because he was in custody from that point onward, but now that he has been cleared, it means the real killer could be responsible for
three Valley murders. If you look at some of them, you'll see some consistencies Mick, Carl said, where were they missing from and what were they doing prior? When they went missing and who were their Associates? There. We got to be a couple more. There got to be some person responsible for my personal belief, is that Vancouver isn't the only hunting ground The person is probably hunting all over Vancouver Island up in the interior Highway of tears and across the border given that
possibility. Senior investigators met in Kelowna to discuss cases of murdered, missing sex trade workers from around the province, the valley murders, the Vancouver, missing women, the murders of women on Vancouver Island and the Interior Highway of Tears, were all part of the agenda in the end. Make Carl said, investigators agreed on the need for a Joint Force Team assigned exclusively to those files.
The feeling he said is that they shouldn't work on anything else so they can stay focus and pursue it until the conclude it. One of the theories is that the killer has either lived in the area. Was a logger, a fisherman a hunter familiar with the region or perhaps been incarcerated at one of those correctional facilities in the Fraser Valley and became familiar with the area while on a work release
program. Make Carl said investigators hope to find a way to use computers and combined police prison parole records with the list of Voters. Fishermen and loggers in the region.
Anything look tronic that we can get is going to be pulled and sorted, then we will try and give it parameters and see what name comes up. Most frequently, whoever comes up most frequently gets targeted first and What we've been looking at now, basically, creating a list of the best people to look at and going and finding them and try to follow up with them. The problem is that the computer program has yet to be developed, that could handle such a massive
amount of information. RCMP inspector Keith Davidson a psychological profile, who helped develop the RCMP computer system for tracking serial offenders And he's currently trying to find a way to use computers to assist in the investigation of the valley murders and the missing women. Make Carl said that the RCMP recently brought profilers from Ottawa when a peg to visit Mission and the Agassi crime scenes. This was done to get a better
idea. What type of person we should be looking for and make sure we have covered off. All the list of possible. Suspects mccarl said he's in regular contact with the missing woman's task force, which has been reviewing all the sexual Salts and attempted murders and murders of women in the sex trade around the province. So far, the review turned up, a list of more than 600 potential
suspects. Deborah Jardine was a compulsive note-taker, The Habit began years ago when she was taking her daughter to specialist looking for answers to a baffling string of medical problems. So when Anjali Darlene, went missing for downtown's Vancouver's, downtown Eastside. Side and November of 1998.

When police tried to suggest that Angela may have left town to begin a new life, that response told her that police were not serious about investigating her daughter's.

But Jardine's put on July 18 in a care home, centered in kastigar BC but later that year, she ran away and drifted to Vancouver's downtown Eastside in February of that year The Joint RCMP.
