Chapters

Robert "Willy" Pickton grew up on a pig farm with a domineering mother and a distant, possibly abusive father. His childhood was marked by neglect, social isolation, and disturbing experiences, potentially contributing to his later horrific actions.
  • Willy's mother prioritized the farm over her children's well-being, leading to neglect and social isolation.
  • Willy's only friend was a calf that was later slaughtered, possibly by his mother, further traumatizing him.
  • A rumor suggests Willy's mother may have been involved in covering up a hit-and-run incident involving his brother, David, highlighting a potential pattern of violence and disregard for human life within the family.
