smiles 0 #1 March 11, 2004 Last year I posted in women's forum about this case. Pickton, 54, faces 15 counts of first-degree murder in the disappearance of women from Vancouver's (B.C. Canada) seedy Downtown Eastside. Police and forensic investigators spent more than 18 months sifting through soil at Pickton's farm near Port Coquitlam, finding human remains police say are linked to 22 of the missing women. The search at the Pickton farm is now complete. The most expensive murder investigation in Canadian history has so far cost $70 million. Pickton's next court appearance is June 28, 2004 Some key dates in the case of more than 60 women missing from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside: -March 10, 2004: Health officials report human remains may have been in meat processed for human consumption at the Pickton pig farm. -Jan. 27, 2004: DNA of nine more women found on the farm, raising the possibility of more charges against Pickton. -Nov. 18, 2003: Investigators wrap up mass excavation and search of Pickton farm. -July 23, 2003: Judge David Stone commits Pickton for trial on 15 counts of first-degree murder. -Oct. 2, 2002: Pickton charged with murders of Heather Chinnock, Tanya Holyk, Sherry Irving and Inga Hall. -Sept. 19, 2002: Pickton charged with four more murders - Georgina Papin, Helen Hallmark, Patricia Johnson and Jennifer Furminger. List of missing officially grows to 63. -June 6, 2002: Police begin excavating Pickton properties with help of archeologists. -May 22, 2002: Pickton charged with first-degree murder of Brenda Wolfe. -April 9, 2002: Sixth murder charge laid against Pickton - Andrea Joesbury. -April 2, 2002: Crown announces three more first-degree charges against Pickton - Diane Rock, Jacqueline McDonell and Heather Bottomley. -Feb. 22, 2002: Robert Pickton charged with two counts of first-degree murder - Sereena Abotsway and Mona Wilson.

Shame, seems like a perfect time to have a law like that on the books.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
