  • Robert Pickton— the Pig Farmer Killer
    Cold Open: Do you love the taste of bacon? A ham sandwich? Maybe a pork chop? You might not after you finish today’s episode. Might take you a second to get back into a good pork groove. We talk a lot about pork and pigs in today’s Suck on Robert Pickton— the Pig Farmer Killer. A Canadian pig farmer, butcher, and prolific serial killer. In so many ways, Robert’s life was dark and disgusting long before he killed anyone. Robert was born to Helen and Leonard Pickton, two insanely filthy farmers who lived just outside of beautiful Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. These two farmers couldn’t have cared less about clean clothes or a house that wasn’t full of animal shit or even about bathing their children. Robert and his brother, Dave, would get bullied by their peers at school for literally reeking of the piss and shit and pig blood that covered their clothes. And this appearance - NOT typical for the area. They weren’t way out in the sticks and they weren’t living two hundred years ago. They lived in the affluent Vancouver suburb of Port Coquitlam [coe quit lum] surrounded by the families of doctors and hospital workers who worked at the nearby medical complex. Robert and his family were total anomalies. Along with being disgusting, dirty people, his family weren’t people with strong moral compasses, either. When Robert was in his teens, his younger brother smashed into a neighbor boy in a hit-and-run and momma would try and cover this up - and also possibly murder the teen her boy had run over.
