After the search of Vancouver’s missing women finally brought them to the gates of Robert ‘Willie’ Pickton’s grisly pig farm, Canadian police faced the gigantic task of bringing the country’s most prolific serial killer to justice. 
But with much of the evidence literally eaten by the pigs, how much would be left to piece together this puzzle?
