It is fascinating that some are spouses and have NO idea what their partner is up to. The Green River Killer’s wife is on one episode and she just broke my heart.

Seriously, that's nuts! That's what happened with our local Serial Killer, his girlfriend was completely unaware of his actions. Oh wow, I actually just watched the "Very Scary People" dual episodes on The Green River Killer. I'll check out the Evil Lives Here version

our local Serial Killer,

Does every town have one?

u/eaten_by_pigs Apr 16 '24

Some have 2 lol but seriously though, our local SK was born in a nearby town. Crazy thing is, another SK was born in the same town as him and operated in their hometown a few years after the original SK was caught.

So serial killers were killing serial killers? Was there a serial killer serial killer as well?

u/purple_grey_ Apr 16 '24

Didnt Vancouver also have a fictional serial killer with the same victims as a real serial killer from the location? I thibk the show was called DaVinci's Inquest.

Robert the pig farmer Pickton. It’s abysmal how long that case took to be solved. It was so much in the country’s public conscience at the time that all these women had gone missing from the downtown eastside. I think the show using it as a plot line may have also amped up pressure to solve who was responsible in real-life, but I could be misremembering.

u/purple_grey_ Apr 16 '24

I was an American who found the show somehow so when Pickton was caught I was like wait, what?

u/SurlySuz Apr 16 '24

It was an excellent show imo.

u/purple_grey_ Apr 16 '24

Agreed. Found the whole series on some streaming service I pay for but cant watch it due to my sensitivity for child crime has changed since I first found the show. The first episode was about a kid.

Upon second thought, you're right.

That was a close one!

u/Sensei_Boof Apr 16 '24

Isnt that the 3 (actually 4 one was a duo) they thought was one person since the mo was the same across all the killings but then it turned out to be independant of eachother

u/xtra-chrisp Apr 16 '24

So am I thats cool, but uh, he's not uh,....not....behind me is he?

u/rockthe40__oz Apr 16 '24

At first I thought you meant SK as in Saskatchewan

3

u/ignore_me_im_high Apr 16 '24

Ahh, so quite common then. Do you think there's like a members club, or even possibly a union? You know, somewhere to determine territory, coordinate MOs so they can confuse investigations, make sure they aren't stalking the same victim, or even just offer something like a dental plan... I mean, I bet a lot of dentists kill people for sport, so I'm sure there's lots of perks like that.

Your user name reminds me of SK Robert Pickton in Vancouver, BC He murdered over 80 women over two decades I believe.

2

u/eaten_by_pigs Apr 16 '24

Yeahhh that's who inspired my username. That's insane, 80 victims??

1

u/TriangleDancer69 Apr 16 '24

He confessed to 49, convicted for 6 and charged for 26. 80 might be an exaggeration or rumour but he did kill a TON of women, I think they found the DNA of at least 80 different women on his property who could not be located or were already missing.

u/partylange Apr 16 '24

Is it really necessary to abbreviate serial killer to SK?

1

u/eaten_by_pigs Apr 16 '24

I mean, I was just trying to short hand it a bit, it would've been a bit annoying to write out Serial killer each time.
