Ex-Pickton investigator shattered by policing culture in Metro Vancouver

It remains the most expansive serial murder investigation Canada has ever seen, its grisly details broadcast across the globe as killer Robert William Pickton sat emotionless in the prisoner’s box. Lori Shenher, the first detective assigned to investigate a rise in women reported missing in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, had Pickton in her crosshairs days into her probe in the summer of 1998, but it wasn’t until early 2002 that investigators finally searched Pickton’s pig farm in Port Coquitlam and found the remains and DNA of 33 women.
