Robert Pickton, who liked pig-farm based body disposal and was allowed to be active for a ridiculously long time.
Elizabeth Wettlaufer, who liked to inject her nursing home residents with things.
Karla Homolka really should be mentioned alongside Bernardo, there. Helping your serial killer husband rape and murder your sister is some next-level depravity.
Pickton is one of the most horrifying. The dildo gun… packaging people meet and delivering it to be served to people…
Yeah, it's not confirmed he actually pulled a Sweeney Todd, but there's a possibility. People who were in the area at the time don't even like think about it. The good news is that human meat isn't very visually like pork, and just feeding bodies to the pigs would have been easier.
Oh yah, it totally isn’t proven, but from all I’ve researched I think it’s pretty likely. I also don’t like to think about that… He definitely fed a bunch of poor girls to pigs, for sure. I read and listen to a lot of true crime and his was one of the most disgusting cases I’ve looked into. I can’t imagine the smell of the place.
Homolka only got like 12 fucking years for recording the rapes and in at least one case actually sexually assaulting, drugging and murdering several teenage girls. That's beyond fucked. She's just out there living freely now, with her children. What the fuck.
It's the price of getting a guaranteed conviction, I guess.
This is something of a pattern that I've seen over the years where people know that someone is a killer or serial killer and ... Then continue to do nothing about it, didn't see anything, etc. these people weren't threatened, they weren't in danger, they could simply notify the police, yet didn't
Why
For the lawyer, it's their job to advise clients, which means there has to be some privilege or the whole thing is a farce. For the others, I'm not sure. Did they mistake it for a joke, or something? Like in a certain famous film.
The lady who saw Pickton butchering a human body decided to blackmail him instead. So, probably for money, there.
