Where is Robert Pickton now?

Robert William Pickton, infamously dubbed the “Pig Farmer Killer” or “the Butcher,” remains one of the most chilling figures in Canadian criminal history.

Convicted of multiple counts of murder and suspected of many more, his name evokes a sense of dread and horror.

Currently, Robert Pickton is incarcerated in a maximum-security prison located approximately 600 kilometers northeast of Quebec City.

His confinement serves as a stark reminder of the heinous crimes he committed and the lives he mercilessly took.

Pickton’s descent into infamy began to unravel in 2002 when authorities launched an investigation into the disappearances of numerous women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

What followed was a meticulous and exhaustive probe that ultimately led investigators to Pickton’s doorstep – a sprawling pig farm in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.

The search of Pickton’s property unearthed chilling evidence, including personal belongings of the missing women and, most horrifically, human remains.

The grim discoveries shed light on the extent of Pickton’s depravity and the gruesome fate that befell his victims.

In 2007, Robert Pickton was convicted of multiple counts of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

However, his reign of terror may have been even more extensive, with suspicions lingering over his involvement in numerous other disappearances.

In 2010, the Supreme Court upheld Pickton’s sentence, and 20 additional first-degree murder charges against him were stayed, as he was already serving the maximum sentence.
